I'm going to have a baby this year

that's pretty scary. Less than 3 months to go. The baby continues to do kung fu acrobatics against my abdomen, bladder, and ribcage, and sometimes it's downright startling to just be sitting there and then feel like there's, well, a person inside me flipping around.

I promise (really) to put up a new picture, soon. I haven't taken one in a while, and I haven't been home to upload anything anyway. The family was duly impressed by my girth, and everyone is letting me know none-too-subltly that they thing I'm going to be enormous. Thanks, guys. I did get some nice new maternity clothes that should do me through to the end, including a couple of really nice blousy shirts, long sleeved t-shirts, comfy sweaters, a pair of pants, and a set of matching mom-and-baby pjs. How cute is that? They're non-gender specific too, just teddy bears, so it's a go either way. We also got some crib sheets, blankets, a jolly jumper, and a carrier. Add that to a stroller / infant car seat and a high chair, a vibrating bouncy chair thingy and a whack of clothes and things from Grant's uncle and his girlfriend, who have a 3 month old and are just packing and sending our way everything that he outgrows, and we're on our way to being set. There's definitely a lot of stuff left that we need, but I feel good about what we have so far. I may actually have to register somewhere, but that takes a lot of work, so I'll more likely just make a list of have and have-nots for any among you who like to buy us things. The only other 'big-ticket' item we need is a crib, and I'm honestly not sure what else you're supposed to get, other than lots of sleepers and things. I suppose a car seat for later on, but that'll be, well, later on.

Anyway, enough of that, I'm pretty tired, last night having been new years and all. I had a wild party! Or, obviously, not. I did stay up until about 3 though, and then get up at about 9 for some strange reason, so I'm pretty sleepy now. I'm glad to be back to my bed with my body pillows too, they make sleeping much more comfy.
