Scatter brained.

There is an infant car seat sitting in my living room. It's black and grey. The tags are still on. DJ has covered it in drool. The kitties have sniffed and napped in it.

I'm feeling overwhelmed and finally ready at the same time. I didn't realize how much anxiety I was having about being under-prepared for Sabrina until we purchased the bare essentials (like enough clothes to last for 2 to 3 days and a car seat). My emotions are starting to become overwhelming. I feel like I did in the days before DJ's birth. Maybe part of it is that I am a SAHM now. I don't have a job to go to during the week that takes my mind off things, which makes time pass by that much slower. Or rather it gives me more time to stare at the baby stuff slowly accumulating in my house...

(This is where I took a break from writing to try and put DJ back down. He was supposed to be napping, but I was listening to him jump up and down in his Pack N Play and scream like he was having the time of his life. I went in his room, and found that he had managed to scooch the Pack N Play closer to his dresser, open the top drawer, and pull out the box of baby q-tips. I'm sure you can imagine the mess a box of baby q-tips in the hands of a toddler who isn't napping can make. Needless to say, I was done blogging for the near future.)

So now I am sitting here with a belly full of Sonic. Kudos to my Husband for being attentive, noticing that I am exhausted and offering to pick up something for dinner. While Sonic may not be at the top of my "healthy things to eat" list, it is delicious and I had to exert no effort to make it. And right now, that is what really matters.

There have been a ton of things shuffling around in my mind lately. This pregnancy, my family, rude people on the Internet, this season of "The Walking Dead"... I'm not quite sure how to sort these things out into a semi-coherent post that anyone would WANT to read about. I'll go with a list format.

This pregnancy - Holy cow, I am exhausted. All of the time! It's crazy how much harder this pregnancy is on my body as opposed to the first time around. Sabrina really likes to shift around and kick. I've tried belly mapping, but really - I have NO FLIPPING IDEA how to tell what is where. Most days I think a rather large octopus has taken up residence in my uterus. I'll just keep my fingers crossed  that she is head down when it comes time to deliver. I am enjoying pregnancy overall, I just wish that I had more energy.

My family - Geez, how I miss them. I am beyond excited to see my Mom in a few months. I hope my Dad can come too, but lets face it, a pregnant woman wants her Mom a little more than her Dad.

Rude people on the Internet - Really? What makes it OK to be rude to a complete and total stranger? I know that the anonymity of the Internet makes you a little bit bolder, and it can be easy to misinterpret what someone types (can some one please invent a sarcasm font?). Just recently a woman on Facebook who is friends with one of my friends challenged me a bit, and then made a sweeping generalization about me based on my age and opinion on a specific topic (an opinion that she totally misinterpreted and got wrong). Alright, crazy lady. 1: My age does not make my opinion automatically wrong, and 2: Read carefully, do not put words in my mouth. How many times have you posted on Facebook or an Internet forum, and get blasted for your opinion? More times than you would like to count, I'm sure. I try very hard to share my opinion in a non-offensive manner. If I have nothing nice to say, I typically keep my mouth shut. Then I just vent to a friend about how crazy and rude peeople are. :)

The Walking Dead - Anyone who reads watch this? Shane is such an ass, although I can certainly understand his mini-breakdown. The Asian kid is my favorite. Are Daryl and Carol going to hook up?! What came out of the barn last episode - OMGeeeee, I was yelling "NOOOOO!" at my TV. And Hershel and his family - I kind of feel bad for them, although Hershel is sadly misinformed about what life is like away from his perfect little farm. Please someone tell me what you think of the series so far.

I think that ends my random mishmosh of a post. Enjoy your night!
