Hello, 2012!

Just randomly posting whatever I think of to update with. I know there's lots of things going on, but I just don't want to sit and make it all flow well.

--I'm so psyched to start off the new year with my little boy. I can't even believe I get to say that!

--I totally can't wait to do taxes. Seriously. Not just because we'll get a hefty return this year, but because I just like doing taxes. Luckily we're relatively poor so it's not hard to do taxes. If it was any harder, I might not like it so much.

--DH and I need to sit down and really hash out what we plan to do as far as looking for a new place. We keep talking about it in a "It'll happen someday..." sense, but it needs to be a "Let's get moved before 2013" sense.

--Totally had EWCM today. Super duper stretchy, and super duper unwelcome. It would be my luck to actually have EWCM when we're absolutely not even close to TTC for at least another 9 months. This means that AF could potentially be returning soon, which is really annoying. I'd hoped to be one of those women who didn't have a period until after weaning. Of course, my body just could be returning to its screwed up ways, and I won't even ovulate for another 4 months or so. As long as AF's return is delayed, I suppose I won't complain too much.

--Postpartum hair loss really, really sucks. I honestly feel like I'm going bald. I'm losing handfuls and handfuls daily. My hair feels so thin now. I've been wearing it long because DH likes it, but have been considering cutting it shorter so it looks thicker. I hope it starts growing back soon...if you pull my hair back, it looks like I have a receding hair line!

--Had another PPD setback yesterday. DH worked the evening shift, so it was just me and DS from 3-11 pm. DH let me get in a short nap from 1:30-2:30 before he left, but I woke up more tired than I was when I went to sleep. Of course, after eating, DS didn't want to go back to sleep, and he cried and fussed for another hour and a half before falling asleep. I also cried and fussed. Really wanted to throttle our cat Rudy when he meowed and woke DS up right after he fell asleep.

--A book I helped a professor with will be out in February. If you get the chance, pick up a copy of 'Eisenhower in War and Peace'. My name's in the acknowledgments. ;)
