Well, I'm back from my little weekend getaway to an ultrasound-induced Cloud Nine. I had a lovely time -- what could be better than cooing over the precious little being featured in your ultrasound DVD multiple times, talking with family members who are just as excited as you are, and venturing out with your husband to purchase your first adorable baby boy outfit (which meanwhile restored my faith in the fact that there is such a thing as cute baby boy clothes)? It's been nice.
But I don’t think I so much like coming back from Cloud Nine. Coming back means Facing Reality. My Reality right now is rather complicated, and I don’t so much want to delve too deep into it here. Let’s just say that there are a lot of Whats, Whens, and Hows of things like employment, graduation, moving, new baby, and insurance that are currently living (and hogging an awful lot of space) in my Reality. It’s making me dizzy. I’m trying to remember that I know everything will be fine, that all I can do is take one step at a time, and things will work out. But that’s making me tired.
So I think instead I’ll put my feet up and work on little projects that will distract me from thinking about it all too much. (Don’t get me wrong – I plan to think about it. But if I think too much about it, I just get overwhelmed. And that’s not so much a good state for me to be in, pregnant or otherwise. Let’s just take this one step at a time, shall we?)
Here, then, is to personal mind-numbing projects like catching up my photo album, dabbling in another quilt project, putting together a fabulous graduation gift for my husband, rummage sale-ing for baby stuff, and getting ready for a long drive to Provo. Here’s to not letting my Reality make me too dizzy.

Baby boy clothes are the cutest! I think, anyway, but I've been immersed in boy world, as you will be soon.
Good luck with all the technicalities. Baby having tends to be like any other major enterprise in life--behind the fun excitement there are a lot of life plans to adjust and work around. I'm sure it will all come together in time. Keep us "posted!" (Tee-hee. Posted. I'm a dork.)
Good luck with that one. I can't think too hard about lots of things in my life either. I think watching a 4D ultrasound sounds way more fun than wasting time on the internet and eating Dove chocolate eggs. Go you. Congrats on having a boy! I love mine, and I was totally devastated when I saw my ultrasound, so it sounds like you're totally prepared for boy world already.
Reality sucks sometimes. Good luck with all the decisions. And seriously, don't overwhelm yourself too much. I think you're doing the right thing to keep your mind occupied.
