from joke to reality


it's been a long time! a little too long. for those who will accept my apologies, please read on. i have a huge update.

mr. sleepy and i are having a baby. i know it's crazy. some of you may remember that i joked about getting our lil' monsta Charlie as an excuse to not having children- well, the joke is on me now.

it's taken me a little while to get used to the idea-like 4 months. i went from shock, to fear, to depression, to having my first ultrasound, to gaining interest and then back to fear again...NOW i'm finally excited. i must say that pregnancy hasn't really been difficult for me. i've heard horror stories. fortunately, i've had no morning sickness or even crazy cravings. i've definitely been on an emotional roller coaster and trying to maintain my sanity as much as possible, but that's nothing new to my pre-prego lifestyle. the only difference is that i can't drink my stress away- so i just sleep them away. all in all, pregnancy has been treating me pretty well.

we are in the process of deciding on many things...strollers, cribs, space in our 1 bedroom apt. i will keep you updated, but i may need all the help i can get. btw- it's going to be a baby boy.
