Few and Far Between
So I almost messed up my comeback. I haven’t posted in a good week and I didn’t realize it until tonight.
First off, I wanted to do my usual mention about Veterans Day. Call me an army brat, I don’t care, but my support and love for the military will never falter. These men and women who go out and serve our country have a lot of guts (bravery) to do what they do. Most do it to support their families, others do it because its “in their blood” while others do it because they just feel its the right thing to do. My dad, uncle, aunt, cousin and lots of friends are in or were in the military and though its corny to tell them everyday, I do want to tell them how much I appreciate what they do. I’ve grown up military and it will never leave my life, even after my dad retires. It’s apart of who I am and apart of this country and for that I support our troops! (now the “upper management” who makes the decisions….hmm…maybe not so much).
On that note, I’ve been patiently waiting for December to come because I will find out the sex of this baby. My mom is absolutely positive its a boy and its blasphemy to mention the baby as anything but boy. But I can see how excited she is and it really makes me heart warm up. I am also super excited that she is 100% on board for breastfeeding (actually she said something along the lines of …. you better be breastfeeding…). She helped me picked out stuff for my registry and even commented that she hopes I don’t have any problems. She even said she’d be only be watching my breastfeed to make sure I am doing it right lol. I also decided to go with gDiapers to try out but I am also cloth diapering too. I just want to get a feel for whats out there. My reasons for not doing disposable are mostly environmental but I do understand and note the benefits of cloth diapering. I even found out my grandma used cloth diapering for all her kids so that very insightful (though she did have her gripes about it). Otherwise, I am pretty sure of my plans and luckily I have all my family (that matters anyway) behind me on it 100%.
As far as work and school, I don’t feel like I am doing so hot. It’s mostly because that first few months I really did not want to do anything but puke or sleep. Luckily I have had understanding profs but I don’t know if that means they’ll go easy on me or if I really will get Cs (and as a grad student I cannot get anymore than 2 Cs in my whole program). We shall see what happens! *nervous laugh*
So question for the day:
What are you looking forward to most in 2010?
