My Lenten resolution

My first entry on this blog was about how I planned on giving up reading other people's blogs for Lent, and instead devoting that time to writing my own blog. We are just a few days before the close of Lent, and I'm happy to say that I have done well keeping up my own blog, even if I totally broke that resolution a while ago and went back to reading some of my favorite intertubes writers. Oh fricking well. I am pleased with the results of this little experiment, even though I have yet to make this blog public. Beyond a few close friends, I'm really not comfortable sharing the getting pregnant stuff with the world. Once I am pregnant, and that baby is safely growing inside my belly and making me crave McDonald's entirely too much, well, that's a different story. But I don't envision making this public until I'd be close to the second trimester. Who knows how far away that will be!

We're in the waiting game again here to see if I am in fact pregnant this month. I don't really have a feeling about it one way or the other. I have had every pregnancy symptom in the book and not actually been pregnant, so I don't put too much stock in what my body says until I see the second line on the test. And I'm trying not to obsess about it. I think I am at a place where I'll be okay and not really disappointed if I am not pregnant this month, but in the mean time it's really hard not to give those "symptoms" any attention.

The weather here has been alcohol-inducing and we are back to being stuck inside again. Yesterday I took Eliza to Pump It Up, an indoor bouncy castle kind of place, just to get her to burn off some steam. For her first time there she was much less intimidated than I thought she would be -- she even went down a 15-foot-tall slide by herself. Unfortunately for her mom, there were a lot of activities she insisted on doing even though she couldn't figure out how to maneuver on her own, so I had to go through one too many inflatable obstacle courses yesterday.
