You’re not fat you’re pregnant, blah blah blah…

I went to the doctors today…that was eventful! I have put on 9 big ones in 6 weeks, holy cow! Literally! And what is the doctor’s response, “that’s good, it means the baby is growing,” or it means that I am growing…out of everything. I think I might just blame it on the holidays. All in all it is a good thing, in total I have gained 13 pounds since I found out I was Prego so it’s not so bad. The doc said that everything is as it should be, I am measuring right, her heart sounds great and my placenta is where it needs to be!! Today I am 25 weeks pregnant, it is so surreal to think that in about 14 weeks I am going to have a little girl.

Last night I actually saw her kick, or punch, or whatever it is that she is doing. Regardless, it was pretty strange to see my tummy jolt out of nowhere. She seems to think that when mommy lays down it means it’s play time.

Guess I’d better get used to that!

No more guessing

So most of you know now that we’re having a little girl! We are so excited. Kyle seems to think that she will be a Daddy’s girl but we’ll just have to see about that. She can be Daddy’s girl when she is at that fun age of 13 or 16 or any other year where she will drive me crazy. But until then I am bank’n on Mommy’s little princess. As of right now we have decided that her name is going to be Kaelen, unless something else comes along that I absolutely love of course. I am almost 21 weeks and I can’t wait for the next couple months to go by.

I was thinking that she might be a gymnast with all the cartwheels she’s been doing in my tummy…but just recently she’s taken up soccer. Though Kyle doesn’t get to feel it just yet he gets to hear about it, EVERYTIME she gets rowdy in there I make sure everyone around me knows. Sympathy dammit, ok… so it’s not so bad! It’s pretty much one of the coolest feelings when she kicks, for now anyways, I am sure I will be singing a different tune in a few months.

Now for the other good news…

Kyle decided to make an honest women of me, tough job huh. On the 15th with [almost] all of my immediate family present, Kyle got down on one knee and popped the question. Of course I said yes, what else could I say really. Just kidding. So we are thinking that we will plan the wedding for June of 2009…I know that means that we will have a bastard child but only for a little minute. She’ll never even realize it really, and this way she can be a part of our big day.

Baby showers, a baby, I’ll be a quarter century, wedding plans, what a busy new year we’re going to have! Can’t wait!

Almost half way!

As of Friday I am 18 weeks and finally, almost, half way there. My jeans don't button, my bra barely fits and I have the blatter of an ant. I suppose it's a small price to pay...










Kyle is finally here! He started work on Monday and so far he is enjoying it. My closet smells like grease now which I totally do not enjoy but give me a few weeks and I'll have everything he owns smelling like the purple downey fabric softner!

We went to my Christmas party last night which was a blast. I think it was the first time I felt really pretty, belly and all.

Now for the big news...We find out this friday what kind of baby we're having. Will Kyle need to buy a pink 50 or a blue one.

Here's the tricky part, we have to keep it a secret from the Grandparents till Christmas, so for those of you who find out before them keep it to yourself, no matter how much they offer!

I'll post again soon, I know how much you all must love reading about me...

That's our baby...

Friday morning Kyle and I went to our 13week check-up, my doctor said that everything looks great. We were so excited just to be there together, then...she put a little jelly on my belly and we got to hear the heartbeat. This was by far the most amazing sound I have ever heard, it's so surreal. Me, being my mothers child shed a few good tears and I can't even explain the light Kyle got in his eyes. Now, as if that wasn't cool enough, we also had an apointment for our first ultrasound. Thank God the nurse had me pee one more time before she went ahead and did the ultrasound cause I swear that women had a kung fu grip and a 20 pound hand, but in all fairness she did a great job getting our little alien baby to pose for pictures. Anyways, we finally got to see our baby and it was again one of my favorite moments in all of my 24 years. It was perfect, with perfect fingers and perfect toes.

Here's the baby's profile. You can see the little nose and toes, when you're looking at it right.

Ok, now I hate to admit it but this one is a little creepy! The baby is looking right at you and reminds me of a creepy monkey skeleton, but still...I LOVE IT!

And, here is the baby waving . You should see all five fingers.

Best Day yet, THE END!

I'm just the oven...

According to my wonderful baby daddy I am just the oven... He's so sweet, right?

Kyle came down this weekend and got to see the baby bump...he's saying all the right things like I am beautiful and I'm pregnant, not fat...but somehow that does not make me feel any better and I still want to put him through hell cause he did this to me. And I am, poor thing. He's great though, puting up with me isn't easy. He goes to get me push ups at 11 and then goes again at 2 to get me jack in the box...is he really helping me or just contributing to my fatness???

He's right, I am going to be as big as an oven.
