Judging Books Purely by Their Cover.

I rediscovered the library recently,. I've been trying to come up with hobbies that make me physically chill out and relax so I don't completely outdo myself whilst growing this little guy. Reading seemed like a pretty fail safe option. I got sick of reading pregnancy books, they just make you either freak out, or trick you into thinking you're prepared for birth... when really you're not... AT ALL...

Anyway...

So I grab books off the shelf at the library totally based on their cover, it's so much fun. I don't need to agonise over what to choose because I'm paying $40 for the book. Is this plot something I would find interesting? That main character sounds annoying already, will she be annoying? and on it goes... book goes back on the shelf.

But not at the library. At the library I walk quickly down the aisles grabbing anything that looks interesting, usually with curly font type, plots based around a love triangle, or something equally as riveting, not sure if I'm liking it or not, but throwing it in my tote bag anyway... and it's free! There are no financial consequences, no regrets. When I get home I like to go through each one and decide what to read first.. if I'm not feeling it a few pages in I'll dismiss the book to the floor and start on the next one.

So I've spent the last few weeks judging books purely based on their cover, and I'm loving it. Such a rebel. How exciting is my life! It's the little things though right?...

So here's Lenny at 23 weeks. Taking up a lot of room and feeling heavier each day. His kicks are amazing. His decision to rest periodically on my bladder, not so amazing. But all-in-all he is amazing.

This past week has been rather exhausting. Nothing I'm sure when compared to actual parenthood, but still...
With working full time, house hunting, getting organised and trying find to fit everything else in, I'm left feeling a little drained. Enough complaining from me though. Most of the time I feel great, I just sometimes push myself too far and need to learn to listen to my body and Lenny a little more.
