So Here I Sit

I actually started this blog six months ago, but I abandoned it since the guilt of being a baby-obsessed psycho was getting to be too much for me. We started seriously planning for a baby last summer – and by seriously planned, I mean I even painted the nursery, sewed curtains, and created a baby quilt. All in the same mint-green, gray, and yellow elephant theme, of course. And when I say I painted the nursery, I mean I convinced Minh to do it. Although I did everything else, including sewing a stuffed elephant. But I digress…

It’s hard dealing with baby rabies. Friends’ babies plastered on Facebook and new pregnancy announcements what seems like daily, and I’m just over here drinking moscato and eating Oreo ice cream – basically doing anything I can to distract myself for three or four more months. But I’m telling myself that I’m doing my homework by waiting. Technically, we could start trying anytime, but I really, really don’t want a winter baby. We got married in the midst of an ice storm and I just don’t want to worry about dealing with driving in bad weather on #tinyhalfasianbaby’s peek-a-boo day.

So here I sit. Doing my homework: Reading about babies. Pinteresting nursery ideas. Avoiding Facebook.

Sigh. Only four months to go…
