We did our bi-weekly shopping in IF today and while we were at Target, we noticed a book display that had the first Twilight book on it, and, oh, would ya look at that, I guess that's the new one. Must have come out today. Huh. Anyway, shall we go?
Doing my routine look-through of all the blogs on my list, I've already run into two that talk about how excited they are, one kind of spoiler for something I wouldn't have guessed :(, and one who did not sleep until she had gotten it at midnight and finished it the next day, so was up for more than 24 hours.
Dang.
I'm glad people enjoy it so much. Not understanding why yet, though. Haven't finished the first one and quite honestly, can't understand what is so amazing. It's good and all, but not can't-put-it-down good. But I guess I'd better get on the waiting list for #2 at the library, because I'm guessing they get better and better. I'm hoping so, because I do love an amazing book series that I can really get into. (I was a little late jumping on the bandwagon this time, though. The whole series is already out, so I won't have to wait if I don't want to.) Anyway.
Looked at some big baby stuff (strollers, car seats) today just for kicks, and WOW, I'm getting nervous about all the stuff a baby supposedly needs and how much it costs. And I have to say, grocery stores are not good places for deciding if you're ready for kids or not. At Sam's Club and Wal-Mart alike, why does it seem like all the kids are always crying and/or whining?? Thank you to those who have kids who put cute pictures of them on your blogs--pictures clearly not taken in grocery stores, because it's becoming obvious to me that that is the UN-happiest place on earth for kids.
Not much to report on the week, as usual. Work, work, work. I was about to give details about it, but why would I want to think about it on Saturday?? Went to the doctor a week early on Wednesday because I was having some disconcerting stomach pains, and Jason went with me and finally got to hear the heartbeat. The nurse couldn't find it for a good five minutes again, so she had me go to the bathroom. Then she came back and found it nearly right away, but it only lasted about five seconds and then the baby apparently rolled away. So weird, because I can't feel it yet, so it's hard to imagine the gymnastics class that is supposed to be going on in my abdomen.
Oh, and for the stomach pains, the predictable happened: "well, if it gets excruciating and you have to go to the ER, let us know. Meanwhile, try Tylenol." Glad we didn't have to pay for that. Yay Medicaid!
September 1st-ish. That's when the ultrasound appointment is. Counting down!
