I realize my first initial posts, especially that last one were missing something... gratitude. Gratitude for all the wonderful things in my life... my wonderful husband, supportive family, a paying (although NOT my dream) job for the summer, and a perfectly healthy baby boy on the way. I have decided that as of today, I am going to concentrate on all the positive things in the world, because there always have been terrible, negative things going on and always will be, but I chose how I let them affect me.
This new initiative has become very important as I want to a. provide a low-blood pressure/stress free environment for Aidan to grow inside me, and I want to create peaceful home for our little family. Staying positive is something I struggle with on a daily basis because truth-be-told, I really do hate my job and I am counting down the days till we move out of Philly...(only 2 or so years to go!) But the flip side is that I'm blessed to have "re-met" my husband here after living in different cities over the last 7 years and who can beat the authentic Cheesesteak... with wiz, of course!
The other new focus in my life has been thinking long and hard about the birth of this baby, I'm definitely pretty scared! and all of the other issues that go hand in hand with this event, namely finding good daycare and trying to finish my thesis so I can graduate with my Masters in May. Some days it all feels so manageable, and some days I'm so overwhelmed. I think I've just entered the real world of motherhood... :)
Also slightly less exciting, but for an informal poll....
how do you spell Aidan? or Aiden?

I just like the way the a looks. I think it will be more likely to get spelled correctly most of the time with the A too. Plus then you can tell people, "Aidan, with two A's."
Do not ask why but I was thinking about baby names today and decided I like the name Caralynn (pronounced Carolyn)...and then I thought, geez, how much would my kid hate me for that? Probably a lot.
