Derek is finally back from Ohio. The combination of first trimester symptoms and the recently arrived summer heat has caused us to hole up in our apartment, lights out and air conditioner on, and watch the first season of 24, our latest TV discovery. (Thanks to all of your recommendations.) It should be a good weekend!

All right, Fine.
I went soooo long without blogging, that blogging began to sound impossible. However, it is such a wonderful tool for keeping in touch with those who go to bed to early to talk to me, that I guess I'll take it up again.
Plus, I've finally started blabbing all over the place that I'm pregnant, so why not blab it on the internet too? As though anyone who reads this doesn't already know. Is it true that I've started telling more people because I don't want people to just think I'm getting fat? I've outgrown about 75% of my pants, despite the constant nagging nausea.
I've been thinking a lot about Dayton, Ohio today. Derek is there for some sort of conference and is looking to find us a place to live next year, so it's time to start mentally preparing for a completely different lifestyle - than I've ever had, or ever thought I wanted. He says that pretty much wherever he looks, it is suburban. I've never lived anywhere in the midwest and have only been there for a weekend, so I'm trying not to have too many pre-judged ideas about it. I'm trying to look for the positive.
1. The cost of living is so low that I can stay at home with baby as long as I want to, no problem.
2. We will only be there for, maximum, two years.
3. Maybe it will be interesting to explore the Midwest! I've never been there before!
4. It is soooooo much closer to the people I love.
This is not easy, so if you don't have something nice and encouraging to say, keep your little comments to yourself.
