Lilypie 1st Birthday Ticker

I'm keeping you in suspense since we still are!

So the baby would not show us the goods on the last ultrasound :(
I was very disappointed. I really wanted to know the gender because I feel like it would create a deeper connection with the Baby. But, we will have to wait till Sept 22nd and hope the baby won't be so shy.
In other news the new semester started and its been great but tiring so far. People in my program took the news amazingly and I was so relieved and happy. They are all very protective of me which is both so sweet and funny. As I am not yet used to accounting for the space I need for this new body, I sorta got stuck in the doorway in class... Everyone in unison screamed "Baby!!" as the door knob was against my tummy and people rushed to widen the door. I found that hilarious!
So its been a very sweet ride.
On the down side, NYC is not going along well with the pregnancy. Walking the street is like...like...I can't come up with a metaphor for all the varied stinkiness of NYC streets. Its just really stinky and nasty. I've also noticed that unlike most pregnant women who have aversions to various foods, I do towards people. I know, I feel guilty about this, but I just find myself repulsed my people. On the train, the streets, waiting endlessly for the bus....there are people that just make me feel icky.
Then there are scenarios like a woman who likely soaked herself in some horrendous perfume for a few days choosing to sit next to me on the bus. What do I do in these situations? While I feel like saying: "excuse me, you stink. I cant sit next to you, your stench is making me and my baby sick. Please leave. Thank you." I understand I cannot. So I just end up blasting the AC that is overhead directly at my face as to diffuse the smell of 2 tons of fermented flowers that this lady has decided to drench herself in.

In other news, people have started to officially come to see our apartment which we are renting out. This makes me very sad. I have mixed feelings about the new place in Queens, but I'm sure once we move in and make it our own, I will like it. I'm also looking forward to only having to take one train instead of a bus and train.

Since I could not find any yoga classes that will fit my schedule I've ordered a bunch of dvd's that are highly rated on amazon. They will be on rotation. Even though I've only gotten to sitting on the coach with Yuriy, eating a Popsicle and laughing at the video, I have high hopes for them and I.
