I've Been a Bad Blogger

Hello, blogosphere! I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was waiting to post my 30-week belly pic (30 weeks seems like a milestone — three-quarters of the way there!) but I still haven't taken it. I've been feeling very blah over the past couple of weeks. Increased fatigue, decreased interest in work, etc.

Today I had my 30-week OB appointment, and it kind of sucked. Oh, everything's fine with the pregnancy. But on the most beautiful day in months I had to spend more than an hour sitting in a stuffy, overcrowded waiting room, getting increasingly frustrated as several patients who arrived well after I did were called in before me. Then I was weighed, and the scale read several pounds higher than my scale at home, so they now have it on their records that I've gained 30 pounds... and I got the weight talk. I need to curb my weight gain; I should gain no more than five more pounds during the remainder of the pregnancy. Ugh. This legitimizes the stress I've been feeling, despite my denials and best efforts, over the scale.

Well. What else? I have decided that I am not comfortable with the used car seat my aunt and uncle passed on to me. It was manufactured in 2000, and I don't know its history any further back than the past year, when my cousin used it for her baby. The stroller that came with it would be fine, but it's really big and bulky, and its only appeal was that it went with the car seat. So it looks like I'm newly in the market for a travel system! I am currently in love with the Ma.xi-Co.si For.ay, but the price is definitely making me hesitate. If anyone has experience with that stroller, or would like to recommend another one, please comment!
