Friday nothings

When I stayed at home with Gabriel the first year, I considered myself a bit of a daytime TV connoisseur. I had the schedule down pat - A Baby Story followed by Barefoot Contessa and Giada in the mid-morning, two episodes of Desperate Housewives in the early afternoon (throw in an old re-run of Grey's right after sometimes) and catch an episode of Challenge before Adrian got home in the afternoon. Every now and then, if Adrian was running late, I would catch two episodes of King of Queens in the evenings...I was on a tight schedule. Hey, don't judge me, I was nursing like, 12 hours out of every day for the first six months plus playing the part of happy little housewife! Flash forward two and some years, and I've been at home for the last three days because Jewish holidays are awesome; daytime tv - not so awesome. I don't know what it is, but if I have to watch another episode of Millionaire Matchmaker, I might climb up my roof and plunge downwards toward my not-so-certain death. I just don't get it. Where's the What Not to Wear or Mystery Diagnosis? Ahh, the disappointment....

Anyway, on to even less substantial topics, why is it that all I can think of eating right now are chocolate pop tarts and chicken flavored top ramen? Seriously, what gives? Let's not even talk about the fact that I haven't cooked a meal that didn't consist of white rice and hot dogs in more than 3 weeks. When I say that exhaustion and all-day-sickness have thoroughly kicked my arse, I mean it! I am trying to reflect on the last vegetable I ate...a week ago? (Just kidding, I had veggie lasagna last night, go me!).

I went through all of my old maternity clothes today and was unpleasantly surprised to find out that 3 out of the 2423 pieces of clothing I own will be work appropriate. Thank God for Target's cute maternity section, which I imagine I will be frequenting over the next 32 weeks. I had my first appointment on Wednesday and I was exactly on target with my due date of January 18th. I was able to see the little gummy bear bean child who will someday be gracing our presence. I'm SO looking forward to having a room to decorate ahead of time, because with Gabriel we knew we were moving so everything was left in tote boxes and gift bags. We were given some beautiful hand me down furniture that I can't wait to put it in the baby's future room.

That seems to be about it for now...we're celebrating my birthday this weekend by getting a new dining room table and hutch :) Have a great weekend all!
