I have been “out of the world” now for 12 days. The weather here is keeping me indoors most of the time. It’s just too cold for baby. We have ventured out to the park to let the dogs romp a few times. Sophia gets a ride in the sling (thank you Melanie, for lending it, it has been a god-send) and I get some much needed exercise and fresh air. Today we have sleet/snow so I will likely remain indoors and surf the blogs. Which, by the way, I love all the lurkers come out over here. There are so many blogs out there that I have never come across. Talented, interesting woman. You go girls!

What I have learned about myself so far…

I’m addicted to Dunkin Donuts hot chocolate and glazed stick donuts. I partook in this treat a few times a month during my pregnancy. I had no way of knowing that I had become dependent on them. Robby is on his way home for lunch with donut and hot chocolate in hand. My knight in a broken car.*

* A broken car. Poor Robby got into a bit of a fender bender this week. Good timing huh? So far we think it’s drivable. We haven’t had collision on our policy for years. We drive a ‘92 Saturn with close to 200K miles on it. The blue book cost of it is less than any potential collision repairs we would ever have to make. However, when you’re looking at going from no car payment to a payment in one easy accident…after having a baby and taking time off work (some of which is without pay)…well, life gets stressful. In a weird twist…the guy that hit him? His wife is due with their first on Monday!
