Gettin Bigger

Good Morning!!

Here's my latest picture at 17 1/2 weeks. I know my face looks ridiculous, you can blame that on my husband for acting stupid while taking the picture.

BUT, there's a bump!! a real bump!! YAAAYYYY!!! it has been decided that the shirt in this picture will be my 'baby bump pictures' shirt since it shows my belly off so nicely (and will hopefully fit for the next 5 months).



In other news, i've been having the super crazy vivid dreams that seem to be yet another 'symptom' of pregnancy. Last night i had a dream that i missed my ultrasound appointment because robert was messing around and i couldn't get him to get in the car and leave!! even though i KNEW it was just a dream, every time i woke up last night i would roll away from him because i was mad at him for making me miss my appointment. I chuckled at myself this morning =]

crazy pregnant woman...

Baby Bump

Alright kids... don't judge this picture. I realize i took it right after i got out of the shower and my hair isn't brushed and yada yada, but i had to take the opportunity to show everyone that has asked that i DONT have a baby bump yet.

Yes, i am almost 17 weeks. Yes, i can tell a difference in my belly. It is definitely bigger. But no, no one else can because they don't know my body as well as i do.

Even though i am baby bump-less, i think i will take a picture every week from here on out just to document =]

Clarification

so it has come to my attention that there are some people out there who may not get my humor as well as i would like them to. or maybe they just don't agree with me, and that's okay, too. because we can't all agree all the time. either way, i decided i would try to clarify things for the 2 people who actually read my blog (since i blog SO often...)

it is a WELL known fact that i want a baby boy very, very badly. i just LOVE boys. in my perfect little world i would have a family of 4 boys. i feel like i understand boys. i feel comfortable around boys.

and then there's little girls. lets start with my life experience with girls. [[disclaimer :: this is all a sort of blanket statement, and we all know there are exceptions to the rule. i mean c'mon, i've had a female best friend since 7th grade, we lived together for a year and we have not, to date, had one fight.]] i've never seen eye-to-eye with most girls. girls are messy, that's my favorite way to describe them. and not messy in a 'playing in the mud' kind of way. messy in a 'crazy drama, mean words, etc' kind of way.

ALLLLL of this being said....

we find out what our precious little baby is on March 8th (my best friend's 24th birthday!!). and whether there is a little girl or a little boy growing inside of me, i am going to LOVE that child more than anything, ever. i ALREADY love him/her more than anything in the world. our kiddo is going to get more love than he/she will know what to do with.

so, yes, i have made it known that i desperately want a little boy. and i joke around that if it's a girl i will send her back. but i'm not serious, come ON. i joke about little girls because i am SCARED TO DEATH of raising a little girl. i will be completely out of my comfort zone and flying blind. but i will learn. and i will love her with all of my heart and then some.

so please don't worry about my children being loved. worry about something else.

thanks =]
