My aching hip + babies can make you broke

Let me tell you, ligament stretching sucks.  A LOT.  As in, you basically feel like you're being stabbed in the butt cheek ALL. DAY. LONG.  Not awesome.  Apparently this is something that I can look forward to for the next 6 months.  No real exercises to help it or ways to avoid it once it rears its ugly head.  Heating pad, massage... here I come.

In other news, baby crap is expensive.  Thank god I have friends that are willing and able to provide me with advice about which crap to spend the money on and which crap is not worth it.  As in:
Me: "are all these attachments really necessary or do they just get annoying?" 
Awesome friend who already kids: "annoying.  don't do it."
Me: "sweet.  thanks for helping me save money so my unborn child can go to college instead of have a random baby thing with lots of attachments."

That's all.

exciting news...

Yup, it's been a reallllly long time since I last posted.  Trying to change that. 

Guess what?  I'm preggers!  Hooray!  Well-deserved pat on the back to my hubster who was successfully able to sexually transmit a child to me.  I've officially hit the 12 week mark, which means that I can now share the news with the world.  (as noted by family blog post, facebook post, and personal blog post.)

Along with the ability to share my news come a few things that I have also had to keep under wraps for the past few months.  Like my ever-increasing need for comfy cotton undies instead of cute lacy ones.  And the fact that I've basically had to dress like a chunky monkey instead of a cute pregnant girl until spilling the beans at work.  (That happens tomorrow, by the way.)  And how much I love mac and cheese.  Although I think you guys already knew that. 

So far, so good.  Let's all pray that I don't blow up like a moocow.
