Wonderings About Baby Bumps

So yesterday I got my haircut and Savvy Michigan and I ended up in a hysterical conversation about baby bumps. We were picking out names together for our future children and we started talking about what we want. A boy or a girl. We came to the realization that it might be fun to have a boy because that would be the one time in our lives that there would be a penis in "there" and there would be no sex involved. Unbelievable!
Hubby comes home soon and I am excited about it. I am missing him more and more when he is out of town. I want him home. I don't like the uneasy feeling I get when the nest is empty. When I was younger, I didn't mind so much, but things seem to change as I get older. I can't imagine him at this job much longer and hopefully I won't have to!

I Am a Work in Progress

I realize this more each day as God forces me to confront things. Okay, so it doesn't quite work like that for me, but it is true I am confronted with my limitations and forced to decide what I am willing to work on and what I live with. This post is about something I live with...and I sleep well too.
I was invited to a jewerly party a few weeks ago. It was lovely to spend time with friends. I even planned on buying something.
Until.
Something happened.
That,
changed everything!
The company this home based jewelry party loves Jesus. They are a "Christian based Company."

What the hell does that really mean?

Suddenly, I had no interest in buying anything. Jesus came up several times in the sales pitch and then again in the catalog. I couldn't do it. I sat there for 3 hours and bought nothing. I am sure all parties involved are good people (I am really trying here.), but how do I really know? Are they the bigots who condemn my gay friends because they are gay? Are they pro-life and do they give large quantities of money to The Christian Coalition? These are all reasons I didn't choose to buy anything.
I went home empty handed, but with integrity. I am thankful I am grounded in what my beliefs are. I suppose they are as well.

Take a seat

I can't even believe how my life has changed in the past 6 months. I have been planning to post to this blog for oh...like...4 months now, but I didn't feel like I had much to say. Besides I have been preoccupied with my other blog. I planned on making this entry all about my love for my new job, but that suddenly seems not at all interesting to write about.
Baby Talk. Outloud. You see I have been thinking about having babies for a long time. I just didn't tell anyone. It is much easier to say, "No I really don't want to have them. I like being a D.I.N.K." then to explain that I didn't really know what or when I wanted them. So I thought about kids a lot, but rarely outloud...until recently. I am ready. I am ready for Hubby to graduate. Get a job. and start a family. I no longer puke at the thought of being prego. I actually like browsing in the baby section on my way to kitty litter at Target and I have been contemplating what colors to paint the extra room when the time comes.
Now that I am planning, creating a list of baby names, and planning some more I am finally motivated to save like a crazy woman. I figure I will lose much of my disposable income when we take on parenthood, so I better plan for it now. That should keep me busy for another year.
