Ate a Baby

So, RJ (my husband) and I are expecting a baby in September. It is kind of surreal right now. I have symptoms that match up with what I have read to expect, but nothing that screams BABY to me outside of this head knowledge. So basically everyone has found out before they were supposed to, and I am really excited in some ways, but I don't feel pregnant, and while I want to talk about it all the time, there is really not much to say at this point.

I feel like there is something more that I should be doing than writing up a meal plan and rearranging bedroom furniture. Mostly I feel fat, and very sleepy. Everyone keeps saying congratulations (one lady even told me "good job"), but I don't feel any different than before when I was just dreaming of having a baby. Suddenly nine months seems like such a long time until it will be real.

It's too early to buy stuff, too early to decorate, too early to make some sort of a list. Did anyone else feel like this when they were first pregnant?

So, this is not the highly interesting post I promised but as I sat here wondering what to write about I discovered this is necessary. Many bloggers have a schedule of what they post about each day, but I was specifically inspired by DesignMom(Gabrielle)'s son Ralph who set out his loose plan and it really helped to organize his blogging.

So here is my plan:

Monday:Literature
Tuesday:Food
Wednesday:Marriage & Parenting
Thursday:Sewing
Friday:Intentional Community, Voluntary Simplicity, etc

This is just what seemed right today with no actual practice having been done yet. If I get started and these overlap or leave some area of interest uncovered I will readjust and alert you accordingly.

I'll post on today's topic in a bit.

Getting Started

Hello,

I guess I just wanted to say that I am using this as a practice place to improve my blogging skills. I want to have a good blog once My husband and I move into a more settled lifestyle (graduated from college) and start having kids. I want it to be an outlet for our community, ministry, small business, family, etc.

I will post a more interesting post later today, but I wanted to start off by establishing what's going on here. Basically, don't set your expectations too high, but I will try to be as consistent and interesting as possible, and I'm very open to advice.

Thanks world,

Addie
