To Do

The days are ticking by faster than I thought they could and the reality of our future pregnancy is starting to fully sink in...which means my list of things to do before my embie transfer is growing and starting to overwhelm me. I have so many plans and not enough time...so here it is (in no particular order):

1. Get short-term disability insurance (I've been working on this one for over a month but don't think it will happen, which is totally and completely stressful)
2. Get my hair highlighted
3. Go cave diving in Ginnie Springs (did that this past weekend with my hubby, it was amazing. We had a mini camp vacation, it will be even better in a few years when we can share it with our family)
4. Have a girls night (or 2), get a little tipsy, try on cloths that won't fit much longer, gossip about things my hubby will never understand (it's a man thing, it's not really his fault) and discuss my future life as a mommy
5. Study as much as possible for my CPA (before my first trimester and all the fun I hear that comes along)
6. Make homemade cookies and eat the dough without ever baking the cookies
7. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN (organize closets, file important paperwork)
8. Have an amazing sushi dinner full of sashimi and some raw oysters
9. Find a new OBGYN
10. Make Lots of Money Money Money (that will always be a priority)
11. Get laser hair removal so I don't turn into a hairy monster (thanks PCOS)
12. Blog! (I've been wanting to blog everyday, but have been to busy, and then to tired)

Hmm, this list doesn't seem as long and overwhelming as I actually feel right now...but with my CPA exam scheduled for the end of August, I don't have time for anything but studying. I've decided to take the most difficult test next, and am on a serious time crunch to get in all the review. I guess words can't always describe reality. There is just something about knowing that sooner than later it will no longer be my body, and it will no longer be just me and my hubby. It's surreal really, most parents don't get this feeling. It's more of a wait and see game, but for us, now, it is a time set in stone. A commitment, it almost feels like I'm pregnant already, but more along the lines of a 11 month pregnancy...This feeling is more exciting than anything, but at the same time a little scary because we want to bring our little one into a safe and healthy environment but we can't change the world, we can only better ourselves and prepare to be parents. So for now, we will take one day at a time, and pray for our miracle.
