I Did It!

I made it all the way through today's baby shower and I did NOT get emotional! Whooo!

The baby shower was for a teenage girl who has attended our church, and her little sister is in the youth group. I would never want to be in her shoes for one minute, but gosh, it was HARD to be there and just keep smiling. She gets pregnant without even trying, while I can't get pregnant for the life of me. Mr. ABC123 wants to be a father more than anything, while her boyfriend had no idea what the Diaper Genie was when he opened it. The hardest part was when she announced that she had gestational diabetes, then walked around drinking a Coke and eating a slice of her cake. I literally wanted to look up at heaven and say, "Are You serious?!"

But then I realized that would be horrible. So I didn't.

I do have to say, though, that I have serious diaper bag envy. Even DH liked it! It's the Carter's Giraffe Print diaper bag, seen here. It works for a boy or a girl, and I already wanted to do brown and green in the nursery anyway because many of the items can be re-used for a second baby, no matter the gender. It's probably the only time I'll ever be able to get away with animal print. I furreal love this bag. Like, I want to go buy it now. Would that be creeptastic and wierd?

Eh, probably. But I still like it.

Since we're taking a rest this month from the life-consuming chaos that is TTC, I'm trying to get back into other pursuits. I'd been taking it easy with the exercise because I was worried about overdoing things, but I just signed up for a four mile race in January. It's a run that I've always wanted to do, and I figured that there's really no good reason why I shouldn't sign up for it. It's probably the most excited I've been about something besides sore breasts at 8dpo in a long time!
I'm looking forward to really getting back into training.
