Oy Vey

Who knew having my 6o-year-old parents in town would exhaust me to the point that I am a cranky jerk all the time?

So, here's my question. Why did Ohio get these dumb stickers?


I like the sleek "I Voted" oval stickers that other bloggers are sporting much better.

I mean, it still got me my free doughnut, but I am not a fan of it. Sadly, I was nowhere near a Ben and Jerry's and I have banned Starbucks from my diet during pregnancy, so no other free stuff for me today.

Voting was pretty painless. We made the right decision by not waiting around for hours on Sunday. We were at our polling location for less than an hour this morning. Nothing exciting happened at all. Except that I cried the entire way from the polling place to Krispy Kreme. I am a tad bit emotional right now.

As for the OTHER big news of the day, we had our ultrasound. Unfortunately, my parents are sleeping in the same room as the scanner right now, so I can't show you pictures. But the baby is healthy and right on target for his growth. The doctor told us everything looked perfect and that the baby is measuring exactly to my due date. So we are still a go for March 29th.

As for that other announcement...

It's a boy.

Yay?

Ok, while I was writing this, NBC and CNN just announced that Obama won. Whether you agree with his politics or not, I must say I am pumped that I was able to witness the election of the first African American president.

Yay! I'm so excited for you!! I know it will be an adjustment, but there will come a time when you can't remember why you ever thought a girl would be better. And I'm speaking from experience, you know. Congrats!

I am laughing because once that little guy is out and in your arms you will wonder how you ever doubted that you would love a boy. Really.

I still wonder when I get pregnant how I could possibly love another baby as much as I love the ones I already have. But everytime one is born that heart-swelling love flows.

Congrats on your little guy. Go check out some baby clothes. Those always make me go oooh and ahhh. Or even better, buy a package of newborn baby diapers. Open and marvel that you will have a human being small enough to fit (and most likely they will be too big) in them.

Think of the money you'll save on clothes!

Seriously, though, the girl lust will fade. Take it from someone who's been there.

Congrats!
