Our Little Man on the Way!

So I am sure that every mother-to-be wants to just talk and talk about their baby and tell everyone about their ultrasounds etc. etc., and I have never wanted to just "follow the crowd" however I will only be a first-time mother once and since it is my first and I am terribly excited I think I will bypass my desire to be different and take the opportunity to tell anyone who cares to know, exactly how exciting this morning was for David and I!

So first of all, the little guy didn't want to hold still for a second, the ultrasound tech had the hardest time locating everything long enough to get a picture so the face pictures are already pretty alien when they get a really good one, but even more so with our little guy because they were pictures in motion. But hey I still think they are adorable. He really enjoyed playing with his hands (part of the reason it was so hard to get a picture of his face) he kept scratching his face and playing with his umbilical cord- we had an awesome picture of him holding it in both hands, but I had a little mishap and in trying to preserve it, I accidentally destroyed this wonderful picture, much to my complete horror. What kind of mother does that...well apparently I do. He also shook his head at us quite a bit, the ultrasound tech kept commenting on how much he was moving around and how disagreeable he was toward the camera...I wonder if this is a sign of things to come...

Now maybe this would embarass our little guy terribly but although doctors will never say that they are 100% sure on the gender, it was pretty easy for them to get some good shots of our baby and it is pretty undeniable that he's a little guy- apparently very proud of his manhood already.

David and I are so so excited, mostly because he appears to have all of his limbs and organs in tact- and everything appears to be very normal- at 20 weeks he is measuring at 12 oz. and is in the 70th percentile for his height. David is proud he was able to create a little man-child, and I am so thrilled that I get the chance to be a mom! What a great day!

His little face in 4D- he's got his fingers up to his mouth

A bit fuzzy but those are his legs

Cute little foot

Theres an arm with his fingers curled

It's a BOY!!!

Baby Bump!

Well I guess I'm proud of this bump- it's been 5 months in the making so I suppose I deserve to get a little bit thick through the midsection...and as of two nights ago I actually think I look pregnant now! I swear it happened in the blink of an eye- I went to bed on Wednesday night and woke up Thursday morning and it was like BAM...maybe I haven't been giving my unborn child enough attention and it just felt like saying "ok I'm here, look at me...I do exist!" That sounds like a cry for help, and now I feel guilty.

Well since I don't have much else to say, and it's about mid morning snack time for me, I'll get this over with and post my sorry attempts at taking a baby bump picture so everyone can see the proof that there really is a baby in there! And I cut off my head for a very good reason...I feel no need to further explain!

The overnight baby bump!

My First Post!!!!

OK- so don't get too excited, I really don't know what I'm doing yet, but I just felt like I should actually post something here and share it with a few friends!!! Maybe nobody really wants to know how/what David and I are doing, but hey if nothing else at least I'm getting some online journaling done!


David is currently working 40+ hours per week and as far as I can tell he likes his job- I can see the pressure mounting as the tax season is hitting full force but hey it won't last forever and my goodness it is good to have an income again! Gotta love seeing money go in, instead of just out!!!


As for me, I sit at our apartment all day, alone and friendless, trying on everything in my closet to finally settle for something that still doesn't fit right but at least doesn't accentuate my newfound love handles more than is absolutely necessary. So far the downside to my pregnant body is that it doesn't really look pregnant, it just makes me look like one of those girls that you see everyday and comment to yourself, "Wow, she really should have bought a bigger size" or "Does she not realize that isn't flattering for her figure?" They need to make some cute in-betweener clothes for this awkward time when your regular clothes are too small but maternity...much too big. 


I also just made my first big baby purchase... a swing!!! Yay- I was really excited to play with it and take it apart then put it back together, but David just stood there and kind of stared at it. I think he is still in some phase of denial, but that should go away soon after we go in for the next ultrasound in a week. I am super excited as I haven't seen the little thing for, well, nearly 3 months now! Well since this is more like a journal entry and probably nothing like a blog I will wrap it up. I am not going to post belly pictures yet because it just makes me look chunky and not preggo- We'll give it a few more weeks or so I think...

Yes that is a little waterfall behind him! SWEET!

My very own ice castle!
