Hello Journey.
I feel like I've taken you off for a lot longer
than 10 days, but nope - that's it. It has however
been a really long time since this wasn't a huge
conspiracy to hide the baby and I had to do this in a
vacuum. I'm however always filming, always thinking
interms of "The Story" and it feels good to sit down
and catch you up. Is that a randoms entry?
I guess it is. Ugh. Those are a lot of work. Then
again, you don't always have to do 10+. This isn't a
race, if it were you won just by being the
longest.
Uhhhhh-heheheh.

OK, so we're not
totally out of the woods yet, but after 24-7 nausea,
the entrance into the 2nd trimester has been tons
better. It's like 24-3 now. The bad days are still bad
and everyday is with a complete lack of energy, but
nothing like the first 3 months. Good lordy. Talya was
even able to walk to Starbucks and back (little over a
mile round trip) without stopping. She was in bed the
rest of the day after that, but that was a banner day
for her. Remember, this is the skinny, energetic,
hiked Machu Picchu in Peru by herself for the "fuck of
it", pilates instructor... so this lack of movement is
killing her. But we're on our way up. YAY.

You know what's
really nice? Just knowing we're gonna have a baby and
it to be old hat to say it. I mean, the excitement was
nice too... but I've never liked the "high" times
as much as the "progress" times. Does that make
since? Like, when I got "Up & Adam" on CBS -
I loved the hell out of the weekend telling everyone
and being so goddamn excited I couldn't sleep...
but the real connection came in the month afterwards
that I studied late night TV like I was studying for
the BAR. It sunk in, I started working out the
time clock of my show, that's the fun part. And that's
where we are now with "the baby". It's now "the baby's
room", we're getting rid of all sorts of shit and I'm
working on stuff around the house. We're in the midst
of the real fun and I'm loving the hell out of
it...

Windows!
And then you have
this...
Work on the
nursery officially begins. The thinnest windows you
have ever seen in your life (from 1949) are finally
being replaced with new ones. And, in fact, the entire
house is getting done. It's a lot of work, but the
cost of doing it yourself is so incredibly cheap you
can't beat it. Of course the openings for the windows
are also from 1949 which means buying smaller windows
and reframing it... ugh, but specially sized windows
are $500+ and regular windows are about $120. Duh. I
don't mind the work.
4) Wait, why was
this a Randoms entry?
I don't want to
talk about any other shit right now. LOL. The rest of
the world (politics/sports, etc) can wait while I take
care of Talya, work on the house and diet and
exercise... although that will most definitely be my
next entry. Holy SHIT have I given myself an uphill
battle for this one.
