Random Thoughts

1. We worked on the baby room this weekend and on Monday. The room looks VERY pink. Granted, pink is my favorite color, but I don't think I can live with such a world of pinkness. Something needs to be done.

2. The room has chairrails, crown moldings and pink, pink walls and nothing else. We hated the wall cutouts and stenciling. No furniture yet. Pictures are forthcoming.

3. My belly looks huge. I am huge. God help me losing this weight once the baby is born.

4. I'll have another ultrasound scan (and consequently another set of 3D pictures) on Saturday, the 23rd. John and I are not satisfied with the only 3 decent pictures they gave us, and after driving for over 1 and 1/2 hours and paying the absurd amount of $ that the center charges, I think we deserve better. I mean, some of the picture files were these undescribable images and others we got absolutely n-o-t-h-i-n-g. I'll be 30 weeks then and I hope the pictures will come out great.

5. I went to my 2nd fitness class (acqua-aerobics), post bed-rest, yesterday and I found it surprinsingly challenging. Still, I was bored and looking at the clock for most of the time, but when John was done running, he joined me in the pool and took the last 30' of class with me (to which all the ladies who also took the class thought it was the most darling thing ever! -- well, so did I!)

6. My husband's ex-wife now works out at this same gym that we do (John ran into her on Sunday - while I was doing a yoga class, my 1st fitness class post bed-rest. He said that she told him that she had decided to join that gym, despite the fact that she knew that he works out there, and he told her he was now remarried). Now I am always on the alert, conscious of the fact that, well, we may be taking the same fitness class. A bit weird, but I'm OK with it.

7. I'm desperately trying to make it to my sister's wedding in June. I found out yesterday, that the baby will need a passport and as we all know, getting a passport in the US has become this huge bureaucratic mess. Even if we go to a passport center, it will take them a minimum of 2 weeks to process my baby's passport. Now, here's to praying that she'll want to come out early or on time (as opposed to late) so that I can make it to Bruna's wedding??!

8. I will charge my digital camera and will make this blog a bit more interesting, with pictures and all. I realize that it is extremely boring the way it is, so be on the lookout!
