I keep writing posts in my head about being pregnant and all the attendant anxieties/joys that this development has caused me, but then I get sidetracked by real life. It'll happen someday. In the meantime, here's a list of things that I want pretty much 100% of my waking hours these days: 

*a national program for at least a year of paid maternity leave
*to go back to bed
*steak, rare, preferably New York strip, but I'll condescend to a ribeye if I must
*cupcakes
*clementines
*cherries
*sharp cheese
*less crappy kitchen cabinets
*maternity tights in brown, gray, and navy with a belly panel that aren't expensive
*more time to do anything creative
*to never, ever do anything that lands me on STFU Parents
