30 weeks... 10 more to go... (Originally posted on January 15, 2009)

I've been pondering where all the time goes. When I take a shower, I know where the water goes. When I eat food, I know where it goes. When I drive, I know where my gas goes. But time? Who knows?! I spent a lot of my last time writing about how fast time went, so I'm not going to bore myself talking about that again, but seriously.

When you're going to be a parent for the first time, and there are only 10(ish) measly weeks to go, you kind of have to wonder where the time has gone. I've been looking over my tummy pictures, and I just don't get how one person can change SO much in the course of the year and not be affected by it. It's honestly life altering. Not to mention in just a few short weeks, I'm going to have this little person in front of me that I have NO idea what to do with! Let alone have anywhere for her to sleep, though I do have food covered.

That's another thing. How come baby crap costs so much? I mean, a crib. They will be in it for 2 years or so, then grow out of it. ALMOST 400 BUCKS FOR 2 YEARS?!?! That's why I'm SO glad that they make the convertible ones now. Keep that sucker for life! But baby carriers and swings and play yards and bottles and toys and sippie cups strollers and STORAGE! Dang! Who has the money to buy all of that besides Oprah? And she doesn't even have kids! And don't even get me started on having a place to put all of that junk. Ick... I'm just glad that we don't have to purchase a crib for a little while. A lady from church Laura is giving/loaning me a pretty bassinet. Yay!

And I want a new ultrasound picture! It's been FOREVER since I've seen that cute little wiggle!
