Must have....

Belly Sleeves are one of the greatest inventions known to man. I have worn one the last two days and it is unbelievable. I am looking forward to getting several others in different colors. Every pregnant woman should have at least one!

Please not my belly button....

In my first two pregnancies my belly got big. I had stretch marks, no problem. Thankfully, I never had to worry about the belly button popping out thing. I see pregnant women all the time that have had this occur. I would like to avoid it; however, my husband is convinced it will happen this time and soon. I don't want people to see my belly button protruding from my shirt. I can't even begin to tell you the links I would be willing to go to in order to prevent this from happening! If it does happen I will be researching ways to reverse it or at least hide it from the general public.

I will never have chili again....well for the next 6.5 months.

Okay, so I had one bowl of chili last night with the usual cheese and crackers. Two hours later, I have heartburn so bad that I think this is the end. I mean I can't breath, stand up, or even think about putting together a sentence. It was terrible! I decided about 11:30 to go to the ER(worried as the pain moved down into my stomach area). While at the ER, baby got the royal treatment, two sonograms and lots of attention. I got to see baby moving around and watch the heartbeat. I can't get enough...it is so cool to watch a life grow inside of you.
All this sonogram studying has brought me to some realizations. This baby may be a Broadway dancer or a serious sports star. Every time I see sonogram images this kid is rocking and rolling all over the place(spirit fingers, dance line kicks--the whole nine yards). As the baby grows this will inevitably become more of an issue. My daughter would kick so hard I would literally give a shout and jump a foot. I saw a google image that I fear might be my future, as I am sure this child will be much more talented with the kicking than my daughter. The image at the top of this post is burned into my brain, as I invision this child trying to kick its way out.

Catching You Up

Ten Things To Catch You Up (In No Particular Order)

5. Our due date is August 4, 2010.
6. Baby had it's first visual confirmation (sonogram) on Thursday, January 7(156 beats/minute).
