Am I setting myself up for trouble right now by eating this delicious bowl of chili-mac? Probably. Should I just have stuck with plain old mac & cheese? Ask me in a couple hours. I am sure the chili induced heartburn will be raging. And what's worse? I remember how in agony I was last time I ate chili-mac & yet...here I am eating it again. I blame Mr. Kuhlmann for suggesting it & my inability to say no. On a positive note, I actually ENJOYED my dinner. It wasn't just "eh" it was delicious! I have found something I like again, so why does it have to cause me such pain? Bah! Oh well, at this moment anyways I am going to declare that it was TOTALLY worth it. =)
On a totally different note, I have started doing a lot of baby window shopping. I can't wait to start decorating the nursery! All of these baby sales are driving me crazy. I know there will be many more to come, but it's sooo hard not to shop till I drop with all of these great deals happening RIGHT now. I made a promise to myself though that I would wait until we find out what baby is gender-wise before we made any major purchases & I am going to stick to it. Thank goodness there is only a little over two more weeks until our Anatomy scan! I just hope baby cooperates because I don't know if I will be able to stand waiting any longer to find out who we are meeting.
I have been talking to my co-worker a bit about the whole maternity leave situation & asking her advice since she has been through the process fairly recently. At her suggestion, I went ahead & turned in my Leave of Absence request form. Obviously, at this point the dates are tentative, but I want to give my employer as much notice as I can (especially since I plan on taking my whole 12 weeks). Also, it's a relief to have the first part of the paperwork out of the way. Just one more thing I can cross off my endless list before baby comes. I also sat down & mapped out my EIB/PTO & discovered that when all is said & done I will only be about 58 hours short on paid time off. Not too bad considering I was only thinking I would be paid for about 8 weeks.
Now to AW something that has absolutely nothing to do with baby/pregnancy. Ready for it? Tomorrow will be my & Mr. Kuhlmann's 6th Valentine's Day together!

Is it totally bad that all I can think about right now is having a second bowl of chili-mac? Yay for wanting something!! =)
