Babycakes, baby kicks

A huge milestone for me.
I felt baby cakes kick from the outside last night! I never thought it would happen.
I think the baby was as pissed as I was about the Fiesta Bowl.
Baby cakes did kick again. I made sure it wasn't just my imagination. But ya think the baby would do it again, so DH could feel it? Nope. Oh well, maybe tonight.

Indecisive

I have never in my life been an indecisive person. So uh, what gives? I'm going to blame it on hormones.

Lets start with the nursery. At first I thought I wanted to paint. Then changed my mind b/c I found the mural. Then last night B asked if I was sure I didn't want to paint and I said no. OMG. Slap me now. I have the mural, but hello, there are 3 other walls. Maybe I can just paint one of them? No? Yes?.......I don't know.

Then there is the baby shower. Thank god we set a date. And have a venue. The menu? Oh that's a completely different story. We can decide on something and 2 hours later I will change my mind. Argh.

These two things are just the tip of the iceberg. I seem to change my mind on everything these days.

Having a baby in 09

Happy 2009!!!

I can officially say we are having a baby THIS YEAR!!! ***insert mild panic attack***

It seemed liked we tried FORever. Then it seemed like 40 weeks would take FORever. Now here I sit at 24 weeks freaking out because I have nothing done.

The nursery still sits holding all 8 loads of laundry I did yesterday and all the presents we got for Christmas. Including the loot Babycakes got. I'll upload pictures later.

And registering...pfft. Haven't even done it yet. Although I do have the date scheduled. How sad is that. I am so freaking busy I have to schedule a time to register. And it will not be on a Saturday afternoon. I am likely to punch anyone who pisses me off.

Watch the love grow!

The other night I was putting the u/s pictures away in the keepsake box. But before I put them away, I had to put them on the table in sequence of events and just admire how much the baby is growing and changing.

From a little peanut, to a hungry little Babycakes sucking its thumb.

Of course, I had to share.

I'm bummed that I have to wait till week 32 to see Babycakes again. B and I decided that we are going to get a 3D u/s, creepy as they are, there still pretty cool. And besides, all the cool kids are doing it.

All the activities

What are you doing in there Babycakes?

You have been so active the last few days.
Its like you are having your own holiday party in there. Do you like football? We watched football all day yesterday and you were just going to town in there. Or do you like parties at the neighbors house..or maybe you were trying to tell me you didn't like the neighbor singing along to Phil Collins.
Either way, I have to say, I love it. Its such a awesome feeling.

Its not about you.

That's all I have to say.
Yea, right. You know I have a lot more to say than that.
In all seriousness, I want to know how someone can take MY pregnancy and make them about them?
I am NOT sorry we are not finding out the sex. It's what I want.
You will have to wait like everyone else. Once Babycakes is here, feel free to buy all the gender specific clothing you want.

That was not there last night

Holy Santa clause. Now that is a baby bump.

I am not kidding when I say I went to bed and woke up twice, maybe three times, as much more pregnant than the day before.

Maybe this is why it is so hard to bend over?

You'll have to excuse the crappy cell phone picture. I was telling a few friends about the bump and they insisted to see pictures. Unlike my friend Merin, I do not carry a camera with me at all times. So this is as good as it gets. In the work bathroom. Sounds dirty, doesn't it.
