Random Update - Mostly TLG Stuff
Some free association, just so I don't feel like a totally lame weblogger -Election stuff? I keep wanting to just quote random things and write "That is such bullshit" about them. For example: the "controversy" about Obama's pastor? Bullshit. The lapel pin nonsense? Bullshit. Obama's attitude towards reproductive rights activists? Bullshit. Clinton's pandering? Bullshit. Clinton's anti-economist gas tax nonsense? Bullshit? Everything John McCain says? Total bullshit. Anyway, you get the point. I'm finding it all very boring. Assume, that with rare exceptions, my commentary on almost anything to do with this election would be "That is such bullshit."
The Nationals got off to a horrible start, but are doing much better now. Seriously, the radio guys who call the Nationals games are sometimes really hysterical. Even when they're losing. I expect TheLittleGuy to recognize Charlie Slowes' voice when he's born.
TheLittleGuy got a cute little Nationals outfit at one of the baby showers for him - I look forward to getting a picture of him in it. Speaking of, yes, we've now had three baby showers and we are starting to be well-stocked (at least for the newborn phase) I think. Lots and lots of blue things. And some completely fabulous handmade blankets from TLG's super-creative ~Aunties, grandmother, and great-grandmother. If there are any other blankies in progress for him out there, though, never fear - one can never have too many blankets! I'm hoping to make him a quilt, too, sometime in the first year. Pictures one of these days real soon now...
Most of my mental energy, when not muttering "That is total bullshit" after reading the newspaper, is consumed with trying to stay on top of crap at work and preparing for the impending tsunami of sleep-deprivation and infant care once TLG decides to make an appearance. I have told him that almost any time after this week would be fine - this week is a crazy week at work, though. There are no signs that he's ready to move out anytime soon, though. Oh, for those who missed it, TheLittleGuy has his own Twitter feed now.
There was an earthquake here in Virginia today. We felt it in our house. Wacky times.

Preggers Update
Today's pregnancy update:How do you know you're in your 8th month of pregnancy? You try to leave your office at the end of the day (which is on the 9th floor) and have to stop to pee twice on your way out.
Bladder humor - when you've reached the point where you just succumb to all the indignities...
Sigh.
