Baby Bump - 21 weeks

Since my last picture was so out of date I promised a picture update and here it is!  This is a picture from week 21.  I am officially past the half way point.  So excited!!  In other news, I can sometimes actually see the baby kick.  Prety cool!

Wow, my belly has grown quite a bit in the last two weeks!

Kicking

Last night was very exciting, B got to feel the baby kick for the first time!

Celebrity Math - Not so gaga about this

Inspired by JCrew Math over at the blog Pudding and the Post-Fab Princess, here is a little celebrity math for you today.

Blarg - not a good day

Today is not a good day.  I'm tired.  I'm feeling overwhelmed.  Its just not a good day today.  It makes me think of that book that I read when I was younger, "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day". 

Baby Bump at 19 weeks

I've gotten a lot of requests to post a picture of my belly so here I am at 19 weeks. 

This picture was taken two weeks ago (camera difficulties kept me from posting until now).  I'll update with a more recent picture soon.

20 weeks pregnant and Nesting already!

Image obtained here

My nesting instincts have almost kicked in.  I'm not currently doing anything about it, but my mind is racing and I WANT to do something about it, and I want to do it NOW!  I want to buy a bassinet, to pick paint colors (but that can wait until after we find out the gender), to turn the guest room into the nursery, to start getting rid of all the crap that is laying around the apartment, to clean clean clean, to move the extra chairs in the loft to where they belong, to start cooking and freezing meals.  Maybe the first logical step would be for me to let the list maker in me loose. 

On the bright side, we FINALLY got rid of our dead and shedding christmas tree on Wednesday night.  January 27th isn't too long to keep the christmas tree is it?

Emotional Rollercoaster

I'm a little embarassed to admit that I naively assumed at the beggining of my pregnancy that I'd be one of those women who did not get all emotional while pregnant.  I don't generally cry in sad sad movies (the scene in "My Girl" when Zelda breaks down didn't even get a sniffle from me) or where most other normal people normally cry.  In the past my tears have generally been reserved for times when I had been feeling overwhelmed and/or stressed out.  However, in the last week or two I have entered bizzaro world where I am getting wheepy over silly things, where things that would normally only make me a little upset or frustrated take me to the boiling point, and where a tiny bit of stress sends me over the edge.  The waterworks have turned into a daily thing for me.  In fact, I've had to switch to waterproof mascara recently, and that stuff is hard to wash off at night.

In other pregnacy related news, B and I will go on our "babymoon" in 4 weeks.  I must say, since we finally decided to take the vacation, the countdown has really taken the edge off the severity of my mood swings.  Now we just have to plan and book the trip.  I should be getting my renewed passport (with my new married name) in the mail any day now so our options won't be limited to domestic travel.
