I’ve noticed that my skin continues to be dry with my pregnancy, but this isn’t anything that moisturizing lotion can’t cure. In retrospect, my hair’s also beginning to grow faster. I wonder how long it will take before people at school begin to notice that I’m going to the bathroom way more and that my hair is longer? Not to mention the fact that my old pants are starting not to fit me nearly as comfortably as most of them had until the point where I got pregnant. T’is the life.

But I’ll be able to fit back into them once I’ve had this child and lost the added weight…

I also love this rendition of New Moon, and I’m laughing at it while my son takes his afternoon nap. It’s real hilarious, but it’s also pretty factual… sans the part where Bella sees Edward in a tea pitcher. Although since she did hallucinate him from time to time while he was gone, that part’s actually kind of true. I laugh at odd things when pregnant!

I used to own this sweater when I was little. My father had it shipped over from Germany while he was doing a tour over there, and my mother had elected to stay in the States with me… exacerbated by the fact that I had to have a tonsillectomy that same year.

But isn’t Jason adorable in this? It fits him rather well, especially given that he’s so small!

From time to time, it has crossed my mind that I should take my son to places outside of Texas when he’s old enough to appreciate them. Although that idea might have to wait a little bit longer since I’m currently pregnant with my second child, I still intend to take him to some nice places in America. Along with taking him to some historically important places like the Alamo and maybe even the Statue of Liberty, I’d like to take him to this New Hampshire hotel that I found as well. One of the things that I feel my son should eventually learn more about is the art of fine dining. Not only would it make him even more of a gentleman, but it would also help him impress the various people that will later come into his life who’d be impressed by that!

Additionally, I’d like to show him the world class culinary school… once he’s old enough to have begun to demonstrate vested interests in certain areas, anyways. If he develops an interest in the culinary arts, I’d like to encourage that interest in him since being able to cook well is always a useful skill. The fact that men must wear jackets for evening dining also impresses me, and I don’t want the whole table d’hote experience to be lost on him.

When I was pregnant with my son, I used to watch shows like Smallville and The Simpsons. Although I’ve since fallen out of that habit now, I must have left my television on the FOX channel… and I’m watching an old episode of The Simpsons. How long has this show been around? I’m not saying that in a bad way, though. Most of the episodes of this show can be funny. But I think it’s been around longer than any other thing I’ve watched, which is impressive given that I’m twenty-three.
