Retail Therapy!!

This week seemed to fly by, but not without the usual stress of each week here in college-land. It's almost like every week is a cycle, starting with Monday, the least stressful, and getting increasingly more stressful until Friday arrives, which is the most stressful day of the week. It's always a relief to see the end of it.

Today, Hannah and I went to the mall, originally in search of sunglasses and Friday afternoon entertainment, and walked out with some good purchases. I bought a windbreaker jacket that was on sale (Navy Blue- my current obsession!), a new purse (Navy Blue- again- with white stripes), ON flip flops, 2 new bras (I had to go up a cup size... I'm now sporting a pair of D's -__-), and my most exciting purchases, three adorable things for the little one! H&M has great prices, but not much of a selection (it could have just been this branch) for baby boys. But, I did pick up an adorable sweater which will fit around Christmas time (hopefully), a pair of pants that are great material for the end of Summer/beginning of Fall season, and a little pair of boots that will hopefully fit him this Winter! Those were only five bucks, so if they don't, I won't be heartbroken.


I also bought some snacks for the dorm room to satisfy my sudden hunger pains throughout the day :)

Last night, I was feeling pretty corny and emotional, so I sat down and wrote a two-paged (double sided) note to Julian, talking about me, and a little bit about Dom and I, and what life has been like being pregnant with him thus far, and some of our hopes and dreams for him and as parents. It's prettyy corny and sappy, which I realized when I read it aloud, but I love it. I can just imagine him when he's a teenager receiving it, along with the others I plan on writing him throughout his life, and just thinking I'm crazy and weird. But I'm hoping he will secretly cherish them :). Ahh... a mother's wish. But I really want Dom and I, and anyone else, to write him little letters like that, which I can eventually compile into a book and give to him once he's older.

I'm 20 weeks today, did I mention!! I can't believe I'm halfway through already. It feels like yesterday that I first found out, and was going through all the drama of telling my family (even though there is still plenty of drama, now that everyone knows...) and trying to figure out what to do. Now seems like such happier days, when I pretty much have created a plan for us, with much help from cooperative family members, and can focus on the more enjoyable parts of being pregnant. Life is so good!

I'll probably do another mom survey soon- probably right after this. I'm in a blogging mood!!

Ciao!
