20 Weeks [and 4 days]

Jocelyn asked for a bump pic - so here's one I snapped in the ladies room at work. Damn those fluorescent lights! I think the bathrooms in my office are the only place where LED lighting is NOT installed...makes a difference! Goodness I'm PALE. But beautiful!

20 Weeks [and 4 days]

Are You Sure You're Not Having Twins?

I've gotten the question more than once...

are you sure you're not having twins?

So obviously I'm really showing for only being 20 weeks pregnant. Big deal. Baby is large. She's gonna be tall (according to the ultrasound tech). That's okay!

Every woman's body is different and apparently my body shows this baby easily.

But wouldn't that be something if 2 babies show up on our next ultrasound? Doubtful - seriously. But I might faint if that were to happen!

Hostess Ho Ho Hunt

Have I mentioned that Steve & I have been on the hunt for a few weeks for hostess ho hos and we haven't been able to find them? I guess you can say I got a craving for them and we searched in walmart (2 locations), lowes foods and even gas stations (Steve is so sweet to think outside of the box like that) and we haven't had any success. Well - Steve decided to stop at Harris Teeter last night to pick up a few groceries and guess what???? HO HOS!!!!! He came home with a box and made me a very happy pregnant wife! Thank you Steve!

Quotes from Ty

This morning, my boss Ty came into my office to go over something I'm working on for him, and before he dove into what we were working on he said "wow, you are really looking pregnant". My reply - "why yes, Ty, I am pregnant." We got a good laugh out of that one.

Then just a few minutes ago, he asked me to come into his office (which is just across the hall) to go over some more edits and then apologized and said he felt bad for continuing to make me go back and forth between offices. I told him it was okay - I needed the exercise anyway!

Good times around these parts. Good times!

Glowing

I've been told by a number of people that I'm glowing. A co-worker of mine just stopped in to congratulate me and said that he really thinks I'm just glowing. These hormones must be doing me some good! I have noticed my skin seems to be more clear, which is interesting b/c I thought for sure I would breakout like a 13 year old with the surge of extra hormones! But I'll take glowing over breakouts any day!!

19 Weeks

Yesterday my pregnancy hit 19 weeks. Almost halfway there! Kinda crazy! This past weekend, my friend Ariane married Stuart. What a wonderful weekend. I passed my camera off to my friend Beth and she captured this profile shot of me...dang - i'm gonna get huge I think!

19 Weeks!

Ariane asked that I be her wedding day coordinator and I was honored to be involved in such a perfect weekend. Yesterday was quite the long day but it was a great day. I think BGB had fun shaking it on the dance floor at the reception too!

Here are a few more bump pics from the weekend.

This pregnancy is still very surreal to me. I still do a double take walking by the mirror and can't believe the miracle I am growing in my womb. I can't wait to meet this little bundle of joy! I am not feeling any movement yet - at least I don't THINK I am. Maybe I am but I don't realize I am. :-) I'm looking forward to feeling her move, hopefully in the next week or 2! BGB is about the size of an heirloom tomato.

BGB may also be able to hear me now! I think I'm gonna start reading her a book nightly. Which one should I get!?!

PS. The whole ladies room fashion show I was thinking of doing? Yeah - not gonna do that! I don't really like taking self pics of myself with my phone...so scrap that idea!
