all day long i think about...

...babies. We went to see Austin Powers with an old friend of ours, and he and my husband were taking about comic books (a fave past time of mine) and I just had nothing to say the whole night. I couldn't stop thinking about the baby...the stuff the baby needs...is the baby kicking enough...is popcorn good for the baby?

Then I went to the bathroom after the movie and there was a mom and a 5 year old in the bathroom...who had just seen Austin Powers. All I could think about was how MY BABY wasn't going to see any Austin Pwoers movies at the age of 5. Then i decided that maybe my baby should live in a closet. I don't even remember the movie, i remember some parts (spoiler...) like when the midget looked like he was a baby comming out of austin powers...that was about the only thing i was laughed at during the movie, and actually knew what i was laughing at.

We went to Newbury comics, Alll i could think of when we went in was..."there's no baby section in here!" So I wandered around aimlessly trying to look interested in stuff and look like I belonged, which I am sure I failed at. My husband was trying to show me all these cool things...none of which i can even remember. He even asked me if I was feeling alright...which i wasn't really, all i could think about....was the baby...which can be disturbing at times.

I thought the baby lived in my belly, but he's somehow migrated to my brain. *sigh*

Yeah, and then when your child gets older and you get a day off all to yourself and all you see are mommies dealing with their children in public you will chuckle.:l



I've taken my son to our local comic book store wondering what I could get for him too. I wound up buying a box full of comics @ a local garage sale that had old Jughead and Sonic The Hedgehog.:)

i completely understand where you're coming from. i think it gets even worse, though! the closer you get to the due date, the more your baby thoughts increase. well, mine have anyway.
it's such a big ole life change, it's only natural for it to take over our mind, body, and soul entirely for a while. i'm sure we haven't lost ourselves, and we'll emerge even stronger and truer than before :)
everything i'm interested in and even passionate about has taken a backseat to the pregnancy, the baby, and motherhood. i can't think of a more important job than this :)

good luck!

Well we are going to the movies again tonight...with our pregnant couple friends lol. At least this time I won't be alone in my "babyness". I keep buiying baby clothes and folding them over and over and over...
I'm such a dork...
I went to 4 stores yesterday and kept forgetting what i wanted. I swear it's like my head is fine tuned to babies and baby stuff...I'm a programmed baby making machine lol. If it isn't about babies I don't care!!!! My husband will sit there and talk to me and I don't even hear him anymore...unless he says baby or Logan in the converstaion somewhere, then i'm all ears. Poor guy, his peice of the pie has already gotten a lot smaller.
