Thanks ladies, for telling me I look cute pregnant! Awe, shucks. :)

I may as well go ahead and resign myself to the fact that I'm going to be hearing those "You're-About-To-Pop" comments for 3 more months, no matter what. No biggie. There are worse things.....and I agree with you, Danielle, I do enjoy the attention most of the time. I figure I'll only be pregnant (the maximum) of a couple times in my entire life, so I should just soak up and enjoy everything that comes with it, funky comments and all.

I woke up at 9:00 this morning, lazily rolled out of bed to take my vitamins and eat some breakfast, let the dog out to potty, then got back in bed. I've been sitting up in my bed reading since then, only taking breaks to pee and eat little snacks. It's now 1:28 pm.

I am not much of a reader, but when I was at the airport waiting for my connecting flight on Monday, I was extremely bored and none of the magazines at the little gum/candy/travel-pillow store jumped out at me.....so I ended up buying an over-priced copy of To Kill A Mockingbird. I know you will gasp when I tell you this, but I've never read it before.

I was proud of myself for choosing a classic novel over a magazine about crafty/girly things (which is what I am normally drawn to). I'm enjoying the book a lot and I'd like to think I'm turning a new leaf. I was thinking while I was at the airport with my new book that it would probably be a good idea to force myself to read more often, now that I will be someone's mom. I want to be able to encourage my child to read and I'd like to teach by example.

Zeal for learning is contagious, and I'm afraid that if I am stale and uninterested in academia, my kiddo will catch on quick. I feel like I've forgotten so much of what I "learned" in school. "Learned" is in quotations because I just more or less satisfied the teachers by completing all the busy-work and memorizing things for tests. I'm pretty sure most of it didn't really stick in my brain. I'm not sure if we will or not, but if we end up homeschooling our child, I want to be an inspiring wealth of knowledge instead of an uncultured idiot.
