Can I jam anything else into my life?

Well - the title may be a bit of an understatement…so here it goes.

Mr. skittles and I recently found out we are expecting our first mini skittle this November 9th. I’m super early in the pregnancy, but this has been much wanted! I was always told that I would have trouble conceiving. Well, just three short months of trying and TADA! Right now the baby is about the size of a sesame seed – but already giving me much nausea and sleepless nights.

Next, I started my graduate schoolwork last Monday. I’m getting a Masters in General Psychology – but may switch over to Social Cultural Psychology soon. I’m totally interested in my school’s Forensic Psychology Program but it doesn’t have an ounce to do with my job. I do not exactly wanting to change fields, as I like what I do – but that stuff really interests me.

Finally, Mr. skittles started a new job today. He typically works over nights and is trying a day job. He hasn’t worked days in over 14 years! AND – this new job is in a totally different field of work. I’m wondering if he will like it, or if he will go back to nights.
WOW – I am not sure I can pack much more into my life at this very moment! When it rains, it pours!

Congrats on the full and busy life. I hope all goes well.

Congrats skittles. Do you have prefered flavour?

Thanks for the congrats.

Now for my favorite skittles flavor - I really like all of the original ones. I’m not fond of the sour ones at all! YUCK!

Based on the thread title, I was going to post a Futurama quote, but it seems a tad bit inappropriate.

Congrats on the little one!

Congratulations!

I meant boy/girl flavour but I can see that I missed with my post.
As an aside, nice to see another one who favours original skittles flavours.

Thanks everyone.

I just wish being tired would go away. AND - I’d like to keep my stomach contents in one place. :slight_smile:

Sorry about that! I totally didn’t get the question. I would like more than one child - so if I could have my way I’d start with a boy, then a girl. mr. skittles says he doesn’t want girls. He says he remembers what he was like at 15/16 and he would hate to think some boy would think like that about his daughter. :slight_smile:

We’d actually be happy with either flavour - as long as it is healthy!

(Gazing into my crystal ball …) Beginning in about 8 months and continuing for the next 20 years, you will look back on this time with fond nostalgia and refer to it as “when our lives were simpler”. :slight_smile:

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Here’s hoping it is a smooth, uncomplicated one and that your child(ren) is/are bright, happy, well-behaved and intelligent. You have just embarked on the journey of a (literal) lifetime. Enjoy the ride.
