I know everyone experiencing their first pregnancy feels like time is flying by, but really, time is just flying by. We’ll hit the 24 week mark in just a couple of days (Saturday), and it really feels like we’re heading towards the home stretch. This of course is nervewracking, stressful, scary, exciting, and fun all at the same time.

We’re all signed up for our litany of birthing, parenting, poopy diaper changing, and breastfeeding classes which start in May. I’m pretty stoked about this portion of the pregnancy adventure as I’m more or less clueless as a parent. It’s my understanding that we’ve made such advances in technology and medicine that every baby comes with a personalized, indexed, 250 page PDF instruction manual that takes you through the first two years of life. They just plug the kid into some machine as soon as he comes out and the computer does the rest. What’s that honey? What do you mean there’s no such thing? They lied to me?!

I’m so screwed.

Other updates: Momma’s finally starting to feel better have the flu of doom last weekend. She’s back at work as of yesterday (just in time for fiscal year end), and is looking and sounding much better. She’s still horking up the occasional bit of off-colored phlegm, and is a bit drained, but other than that she’s doing nicely.  The belly is coming along nicely, and frankly she’s hit that absolutely adorable stage. Also, the PUPPP rash is being very well managed with organic dandelion root extract, combined with the PUPPP soap and PUPPP relief cream that I mentioned in the previous post.

So, that’s life for now.
