Admonished by the Starbucks lady...

Today the Starbucks lady admonished me. I ordered a medium iced coffee and she looked at me and said, "Just so you know, we have decaffeinated." I kind of wanted to punch her. I'm aware that there may be risks associated with caffeine and pregnancy, but I also know that I've cut way back on my intake.

So anyway, sorry for those two of you who have been following along with the blog. I've been delinquent. Guess I've just been dealing with things in my own way. I'm really looking forward to becoming a mom and seeing my little girl - I guess I've just been feeling a bit alienated. My friends and husband have all been supportive, but really I don't have any close friends who are pregnant too. I never understood the idea of a mom's group - but maybe this is one reason for them? As I sit here alone while my husband is at a bar to see a show, I just kind of wish I had someone to sit here with me who could relate.

But in happier news, I have started to pull together the nursery. Thanks to my mom, we now have a crib and mattress. I also repainted a dresser we bought at a second-hand furniture store which will double as a changing table. Jeremy and I bought a new bright lime-green blanket to cover the futon in the nursery and the crib linens that I ordered should be arriving this week. It's really starting to look good in there. As soon as it's all put together, I'll be sure to post pictures here. I promise!
