catching up!

What's that, Internet? Oh, I have a blog? And people actually read it? And you're saying, if I don't actually write things on it, then it kind of defeats the purpose? Okay... point taken.

To finally follow up from last week's adventurous ultrasound appointment... we're having a baby girl! Anil and Sara are having a daughter. Doesn't that sound crazy?! 

We're sooooo excited and have been planning and registering for things in pink, yellow, and light green. It's been a ton of fun, despite the overwhelming nature of Babies R Us. Fortunately we can temper that with a local store in our neighborhood that's small and super helpful. Both have registries we can manage online, which is so convenient but also makes them easy for me to obsess over. Being able to go online for Babies R Us also means we don't have to drive 30 minutes to the suburbs again. And it's not just about "getting stuff"; figuring out what we want/need in the context of a baby girl makes it that much more real. It's made us start thinking about how to rearrange the apartment, and that makes us think about how things are really going to change in more ways that just furniture.

In other news, my biggest "Whaaaaa??!!" moment of the week was finding out that my feet might grow up to a size, and not necessarily go back after I give birth/reduce from swollen whale status. I'm trying not to be devastated by the real possibility that the handful of fabulous shoes and boots that I've amassed over the years of being a very consistent size 7 might not fit me again. It's absurd. I feel like I'm on some lame version of "What Not to Wear," having to re-imagine and purchase an entirely new wardrobe, except no one is handing me a bank card filled with cash. Someone did not get that memo.
