Well, the weeks are passing more quickly then I may have expected. I am now at 27 weeks, and this little guy is beating on me like he wants to escape. It seems he has discovered jumping and he enjoys launching himself off my bladder. He also seems fascinated with my ribs. It feels like he grabs on to them sometimes, or rubs them with his feet. It has truly been an adventure, this whole pregnant business. I have a feeling it will get to be more uncomfortable and unpleasant, but at this point I am enjoying this adventure. It is fun to feel this little guy, and for robert to be able to feel him. Once you get past the sick, and if you can deal with all the tired lazies, it is even fun sometimes!

YAY!

We're having a boy! Woot. That's the news of the day

YAY!

I am so excited! I just can't hide it! We bought a tiny mini indoor greenhouse and planted some flower and vegetable seeds to put out in our 'garden.' Once spring gets here, ya know. Gardens are my best fave! That means winter is almost over, folks!

First steps on a long road

Today I hit an important stepping stone on the road of pregnancy. Someone asked me when my baby was due. Six more months, six more months. I really should have told her that I was just fat.

crazy life

So, since we moved from the mold house we no longer have internet in our house. So, sorry that it's been so long.

Life is good, but I never thought the day would come when I would actually be at this point in my life. We found out just before Christmas that we were expecting, and our baby will be here in August. I almost forget sometimes until I see myself in the mirror. I don't really have child-bearing hips or a long torso, so I am showing already and barely into my second trimester. I can't button my pants anymore and my shirts don't all quite pass the Bend and Stretch test.

This week we got to see our baby for the first time. The doctor says I'm in for it because it was moving around so much. It looked like a flippy little fish in there! I think it is such a miracle to grow a baby! It is so far away from being born, but already it has a tiny heart that beats and pumps. It's little stomach is contracting. It was waving its tiny arms around and reacting to us poking at it. Robert is just as proud as can be; he carries the ultra sound picture in his wallet and falls asleep with his hand on my roundy belly. I can't wait to see him holding my baby.

when it rains, it pours!

So since Robert got swine flu after Halloween everything went down hill. He was bored out of his mind having to be home from school and work, but then the TV broke and the computer broke. Then the microwave broke. Then my paycheck didn't come. Can life get any more crazy? Well, I guess it's better than boring and dull.

halloween

So halloween was a big to-do at our house this year. We both dressed up to go to school on Friday, then we spent all day Saturday getting ready for a party at our house. Too bad, though, Robert was starting to get sick. We had dinner and and made wa-was de pan. Everyone came and had a great time. We watched the lamest movie and had a lot of fun. Sunday Robert's sister came, and robert got sicker. By monday we had decided he was swiney-sick. Ew. What a weekend.
