Well, maybe not because I have been anything but lazy...in the last few weeks I have traveled to New York, New Jersey, Michigan and Florida. On top of that, my NEW STORE'S grand opening was on the 8th of October. Soooo, maybe I've just been a lil' busy...and we all know that Ken never sleeps.
But have no fear! I am here! To update you on all things baby!
1) All of the results came back from the sequential screening and they were all normal! Thank God! (Which Ken and I have already disputed because our child will be anything but normal...I mean, I'm just bein' honest...)
2) We took the baby to meet both our families in Michigan...I was prepared with super stylish maternity outfits for the trip. I made sure to bring my "buffet pants" (thanks for that one, Julia!) because we ate like there was no tomorrow. Well, the baby ate like there was no tomorrow...Ken was just being a pig.
3) Forget everything I said about being less gassy...it was all a lie.
Alrighty! Moving on!
4) We have tried every test known to man and consulted every wives tale ever told to try and guess what the sex of our baby is. I dreamed I was having a baby boy and was sure of it...until my mom, Deanna, Ken and Stacy convinced me I was having a girl. Then I had a dream that I was having a little girl.
I waited patiently for Ken's psychic friend to call and tell me what I'm having...but she never called (probably shoulda slipped her a twenty...dangit!) Sooooo, let's just say I consulted the old Thai lady at the Thai restaurant in town (who is said to be 100% accurate in these matters), and was told that because I was "frumpy" and "without makeup" I must be carrying a boy. Suprisingly I wasn't offended by her comment? Hmmmm...
Anyways, there was this "find out what you're having with 15 easy questions!" quiz I found on the internet. Well, when it came to the question of, "what are you craving: sweet or sour?", I was like, "SOUR PATCH KIDS SOUND REALLY GOOD RIGHT NOW!!!!!!" See, I can't win.
So, we are safely waiting until Monday the 25th for the final answer...and let me be honest with you...I don't care what I have. I really don't. Just give me that little baby to love and I will be one happy mama!
5) I felt the baby moving (I like to call it "squirming") around on Sunday the 17th of October. Like, whoa. Amazing. When you feel it, it will change your life.
6) Ok, soooo, I'm not gonna lie... the baby is a lil' big already. Weighing in at 25 pounds (at least...), our baby will no doubt be the largest baby ever born (next to an elephant or rhinoceros...perhaps). And though the size of the baby has increased my size, I am willing to sacrifice for the sake of history! However, my husband seems to love my extra inches...and we don't choose to call it "fat" or "chubby"...we call call it "Rubenesque" (refer to exhibit A, B, C and C and a half)
