And So it Begins!

What begins?

The weight gain... the expansion... I can only assume that these will be followed shortly by the waddle, the stretch marks and the discomfort. Why do I say it begins now? Because this morning I woke up looking like this...








Did I eat a Watermelon in my sleep last night? Or was my belly bitten by 30,000 ants that I was unaware of? I don't think so, but there she blows. I'm 25 weeks tomorrow and at my last appointment 3 weeks ago, I had gained a whopping net 2 pounds. I have a feeling the result will be quite different next Wednesday at my appointment...But I'm finally feeling fabulous, since about 20 weeks, things have only been getting better. I'm so excited for December!
Also I know my hair is a hot mess here, but I've got an appointment with Hilary on Saturday, so hopefully she'll... uh ... handle that... yeah.

Gifts from Katie...

When Katie Newman found out I was expecting, I know she thought of but one thing... how to force my child to suffer through brain development limiting headbands topped with enormous head ornaments, just the way she has forced hers to. How do I know this? She told me. After months of me mocking her and her giant Utah handmade headbands, she promised she would make ones even more rediculous for my child.
"What if it's a boy?" I asked?
"I'll put something boyish on it" she said
"Like a spider?" I joked....



Perfect...
I can just see her coming home from the hospital in this, wearing the glow-in-the-dark skeleton shirt which was the first thing that we bought our little girl.

And just for good measure, she made me the most giant flower headband that you ever did see!


Thank you, Katie. You will make this child a girly-girl in spite of my sick sense of humor.

Mom's B-day in St Augustine

A weekend in pictures... BTW there are three new posts, I always end up kicking something off the page...

Nursery!

Our nursery paint color!

My man doing all the painting so that our baby can keep her brain cells...

All done painting. So much left to do!

This is the wall decal we ordered for above the bed, we accidentally ordered two sets, because the description was dumb, so if you're in the market... we got them today!

23 weeks

I'm probably the most un-photogenic pregnant person ever, but here I am! As I'm typing this I am 90 days away from full term! I've been feeling really great lately. Just have to stay off my feet to a small degree and make sure I'm within shouting distance of a toilet and I'm good to go!
