“What do you mean I can’t get any sun on my back because I can’t lie on my stomach?”
This is my thought as I’m setting up my towel at the beach for the first time with a “protruding” belly.
WHAT?!
I’m from Florida….my tan HAS to be even or I will look like a tourist.
So?
Dig a hole.
Put belly in hole.
Commence tanning.
Shut up.
Someone should write a book with stuff like this. I mean, you can buy a book about ANYTHING related to ANYTHING these days. You want to breastfeed? There 8.3 million books that will tell you when, how and why it’s so great. You don’t want to breastfeed? Well, there are just as many books that will tell you that “formula babies” are just as smart, cute and well developed.
But, the real stuff you need to know – like, “hunger comes on in about 15 seconds and you have to eat RIGHT THEN or you turn into the spawn of Satan” – Is really nowhere to be found.
Also? Can someone explain this INCREDIBLE sense of smell to me? It’s like a super power! Except - It’s mostly a curse because I can smell EVERYTHING in about a 10 mile radius of where I’m sitting. I know you have body odor about 3 days before you do.
Let’s just say that everything does not smell like roses. Yes, I mean you Lucky Dog.
In most cases, we are happy to learn along the way….trial by error is our new approach. I have not, however, figured out how to fight off pregnancy hormones and outbursts. I feel like it’s sort of what being bi-polar feels like (which some of you know). LOL! Whooo….I make myself laugh.
Anyway, one minute – I’m peachy…the next minute? Satan.
I’m mostly just a “fat,” bi-polar, bat-shit-crazy super hero with the worst super power ever.
This? Right here? ….is why you should be married when you get pregnant. Someone should be bound by LAW to be nice to you because you will lose friends.
At a full 21 weeks….Baby S is a kicking, punching, back flipping machine. You can pretty much feel him tumble around at any given point in the day. Matt felt it for the first time last week. It kind of freaked him out. I mean Matt – not the kid. (“What is IN THERE? Doesn’t that hurt?!”)
Baby s isn’t the only one moving and a shaking, either. We have lots going on around here! If you didn’t already hear or know yet – we sold our house (yay!) and are moving! Our Labor Day will be spent loading up the PODS …..
…..making Lucky comfortable….
and heading here:
As soon as we get settled in….let the baby/nursery frenzy begin!
Also? Because we currently own a 2 seater sofa…that Matt doesn’t fit on, we are in the market for a new couch. Our current obsession? This 112’’ sofa from Restoration Hardware. It's so deep that when my feet dangle. YES! This couch will allow us all to pile up and take a snooze together if we so desire. I just hope Lucky doesn’t roll on top of the baby like he does me.
If I have my way (J), it will arrive sometime in October.
Also arriving the first part of October…. My Mom Mobile! Ours will be black, but you get the idea.

....and the reason for ALL of this change is located in this photo…inside that ever growing belly. He’s not even here yet and our lives are turned on end, but we wouldn’t have it any other way!
(21 weeks, gained 5lbs total)
Yeah, I know. I don’t look that pregnant (or so everyone tells me), but I swear – the dr says I am and there’s a heartbeat in there!
And, I’m awfully hungry/cranky/nesting-obsessed to NOT be preggo.
uhhhhm, are you gonna eat that?
