It's now the second week of June, as I'm sure you all already know. I haven't remembered to start walking, but that's okay...there's a reason she's still in there. And I haven't gotten very impatient yet. There's still some crochet and cross-stitch and sewing to do.

I never thought it would be quite so hard to get a crib! I bought the one off ebay that's just like what I ordered before and waited for, and I'm having a hard time with the seller. I'd be more patient if I had more time left, and it's not my fault I don't have more time. Anyway, the problem is, the seller didn't even acknowledge that I'd bought the item (I'd paid right away), so 2 days later I emailed them to ask what was happening. I got a very generic email that said they'd be shipping it ASAP and to allow 4-6 weeks. 4-6 weeks, off of ebay?? You buy from ebay to get instant results. So I waited again, and decided to email them again a few days later (a week after I'd bought it), telling them my situation and asking if it really takes that long?? They haven't replied yet. I've had a real time buying stuff off the 'net lately...when I ordered a footstool for my nursing chair, I found out later it was back-ordered/out of stock, and I asked to cancel my order. I went straight to Target.com and bought it and it's arriving today. I'd really like to give business to some of these home business people, but it really hasn't been working out. I think I'll have to stick to major company websites, they've been much more reliable. JCPenney told me right away my changer would be back-ordered, and it got delivered a bit earlier than they said it would. It irritates me how for a long time, weeks, the site that I ordered the crib from never changed the site to say 'back-ordered' or 'out of stock'...I had to call to find out why the heck I hadn't received it yet. And of course they'd already billed me before it had been shipped, or in stock, so I'm still out $300 until they get around to my refund. Rrrr.

Well, I still have no stretch marks on my belly. I do have some lines on my hips that we're wondering if they are or not, but they're not very bad, and they're covered by my underwear, so as long as I wear a bathing suit with thicker legs or boy-shorts instead of ties I'll be fine. Whether or not my belly will have any tone to it after the baby is out is another story. But I did have good abs before, so that's something...
