84 degrees

n- it is so hot! Good thing I don't live anywhere else, like NYC or the South (sorry Lev and A2). I was at the laundrymat today waiting for my clothes to finish the spin cycle, reading a book, when I noticed just how round my belly is, not just that but it is so big! It is starting to get to the point where my clothes don't button closed or if they do, I look like I just had Thanksgiving dinner and we all know its JUNE. Thank goodness I am going down to LA next week cause my mom and I have a date to go maternity clothes shopping! (what a dream!).

I was thinking how cool it is to know that, although all of this is beyond our control, j and I really did pick the exact time that we wanted to conceive. It's pretty amazing to have sparked this whole production and then with tremendous trust, passed it along to something/one else to make it all happen.

And one last thing: though this blog is somewhat self-indulgent, I am thinking of it more of an "awemage" (homage) to the little one. Keep going strong-we believe in you!

week 9

j: N is really into it. She not only brought home three more books, but is blowing though each in record time. Also, on the fridge a new public proclimation has been posted of what to eat—it rigorously details how much of each item to consume by day and why.

N's really lovin this, and I think that is so cool.
Here's to the process.

my contribution

n: Today was the closest I have come to the highly trendy throwing up predicament. Don't get me wrong, I have been pleanty queasy and usually just gag for a bit, unsuccessfully. But today (the last official day of work before the summer!) I pulled into the parking lot and felt the full effects of "I am about to yank right now" and had to make a decision fast! Quick- I can vomit over there behind the car... or how 'bout the trashcan near the entrance of the school (not a good idea! keep thinking!) or... and then I saw them-nice green compost recyling bins and only 10 feet away! (Quick like a bunny!) And well...that's where I did my part to keep the planet organic. xo

8 weeks

j: We flew in from LAX exhausted but happy now that we've told all parents. (no one else can know, we've emphasized.) I'm happy with our decision, but truthfully still cautious that all may not go as planned. Who would've predicted worried parenting began so soon.
