I hate football, but I love fall!

Baby is 2 months old. She is laughing and cooing all day. Sleeping through the night.

I think she may be coming down with a cold now, sadly. Her nose is a bit runny.

Great news, fall is here. I think its around 64 degrees outside right now. And it is awesome. This weather makes me want to smoke 1,000 cigarettes, drink 500 cups or coffee, and read 50,000 new books. In other words, it is the greatest feeling ever.

And speaking of books, I'm reading The Historian right now. It is really good so far, but then again I'm only on page 67 out of like 670 pages. Jaciene loved it, that's enough of a reason to give it a chance. It is a "vampire story" that is unlike any I've ever read. Definitely none of that Twilight, glitter in the sun, bull shit. Its basically historical fiction. (Don't get me wrong, I am guilty of secretly crying inside over not being to score a ticket to the midnight release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon)

I'm back at work at Urban Outfitters for now, after a wonderful 11 weeks of maternity leave. I miss Jocelyn a little more every day that I go in to work. She is my sweet little blue-eyed angel baby. :)

Jessica is due in mid November. Kansas Piper is the name they've decided on. I'm so excited for her, there is definitely nothing greater in this world than holding your tiny, smiling daughter and knowing she has such a bright future ahead of her. Hopefully she and Kevin will score an apartment in our complex. We will be close, and we will get something like $400 off our rent for referring them. Sweetness, I know.

Today, I was riding in the car with Kyle and it just hit me. How different things are this year than they were last October. Everything is different. I thought I might be sad, that I might feel like I was missing out by becoming a mom so young. I'm only 21, afterall. But I've found that if anything, she has totally enriched my life. Little, petty things don't bother me at all anymore. I don't care what he or she has to say about me or what I look like. I don't who is sleeping with whom. It just doesn't matter. And Jocelyn has helped me realize that. She is a joy, and she was named accordingly.

Pam and Jim were married on The Office Thursday night, and sadly I live vicariously through Pam. Needless to say, many a tear was shed. :)

like it matters if you come or not?

I just wish I understood people's fascination with OTHER PEOPLE'S lives. I'm just a girl, why do you care enough about me and my life to talk about me when I'm not around?

Don't you have anything important enough going on in your own life that you can spare my name? I don't care what you think. I make decisions for myself.

40 days until the baby's here. Kyle and I move into our new apartment (yes, apt. we decided not to buy this year) on July 29th.

July is going to be a good month! I am counting on it! Our diaper party is on the 5th, my shower is on the 12th, Harry Potter at midnight on the 14th/15th, and then we move! And then Jocelyn will be here!

I know things are going to be hard and I'm going to be really tired, but I'm really excited. I wouldn't want any one else by my side through any of it. Kyle has really been above and beyond amazing these past few months. He is so excited, and that means so much to me. Its been SO wonderful to have some one that you get along with and have such a strong friendship with. He is basically the only thing keeping my chin up during these hormonal times.

I'm really, really looking forward to the rest of this year.

I'm so irritated right now. I miss sleeping comfortably. I miss Kyle, why does he work so late? I hate heartburn, I'm sick of tums. I'm sick of unsolicited advice.

I am letting stupid, irrelevant things bother me and I shouldn't. People don't matter, and what has happened in the past should stay there. I know this, yet I continue to let things upset me. I am dumb.

I must say, I am happier right now than I have been in years. :)
I feel like everything is in its right place. I am in love with my best friend, and we are both so excited about our life and our sweet little baby girl!



We are buying a house this year, taking advantage of the tax credit (Obama!). That is so terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. I can't wait to have a whole house to ourselves. Albus will have his yard back, and I'll have somewhere to take out my nesting urges. My baby shower has been moved to July 11th, which is a Saturday night. Weird, I know. My aunt wanted to do it differently, since both Kyle and I are pretty different...guys are even invited I believe. Not that they will come...guys use the 'females only' rule as their way out of baby showers.

Harry Potter comes out in a month, I don't care how pregnant I am, I will be there at the first showing at midnight. I think I will read Jocelyn the Harry Potter series...any child of mine and kyle's will love it.

Only 9 1/2 weeks left!!! I am so ready to see her sweet little face!

Today, I read a really funny article that was originally written by CNN I think, and re-written for cracked. Who would have thought there is so little originality in the world? I can only imagine how much of a rip-off I am without even knowing it...a little scary to think about. But The X-Men, come one that one was blatantly a xerox copy of the Doom Squad or whatever it was called.

And this is were you go "Kimba? But the Disney lion is called Simba. OH! Wait, they are lions and their names sound alike; that's all?" Oh no, that's not all, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Or should we say theftberg?

And I actually knew about "Kimba the White Lion" awhile ago and forgot to look into those pretty obviously similar movie covers. Disney, rich bitches.


Tomorrow I have my last monthly doctor's appointment, and then I start going every two weeks. Whoo-pee. I added a ticker to the bottom of this lovely blog. Today it tells me that I only have 103 days to go before I am no longer pregnant. Thank God!
I don't mind not drinking and smoking and eating sushi all that much, but she has been kicking the crap out of me lately.
Sometimes, I will just watch my stomach, amazed at what I am seeing. It moves so much, suddenly jutting out in strange places and then back to normal. And when she gets me in the ribs...ouch.
I joined a new pregnancy website, and they always have the funniest things to post on your own webpages. I found a few that apply to me:

She is due August 10th, so that was an easy one.
OR
but then, is she autumn or summer? because some people consider August the end of the summer, and others will argue that it is just the beginning of fall. What's a mom to do!? How will I ever post on the message board if I can't choose an autumn baby or summer baby signature badge!?

This one just cracks me up..
I mean, really?

North Carolina, pretty shameful.

This lady is such a dumb bitch. There are no other words to describe her. Really?? You're going to fight something as blatant a hate crime as this? Matthew Shepard was killed because he was gay. The Laramie police report even states that. That is a crime that really affected me, so to see someone try to to belittle it seriously makes my blood boil. A robbery my ass.

Miss California's answer about gay marriage was terrible. It was poorly articulated and a little embarrassing. But then again, what can you expect from a Miss USA pageant contestant?

I spent 6 hours between Target and Babies R Us registering for my baby shower. It is ridiculous the amount of things you need and the even larger amount of stuff that they tell you you need.
I think I'm going to go with the Mod elephant bedding. :) It matches her theme and color scheme perfectly.

Okay, I have read all of the Twilight books and seen the movie as well. While I enjoyed them for what they were, I definitely wouldn't try to defend Stephenie Meyer or her poor writing skills. If only she had hired the man who wrote this version of the Twilight screenplay, the movie would have been 100x's more likable. Its pretty hilarious, for fans and haters alike.
