IT'S BECAUSE YOUR PREGNANT!

Yes, anything and everything strange that happens to me is because I'm pregnant. There are the things you expect when you get preggo and the stuff that apparently happens to everyone but NO ONE tells you. Acne, yeah that beautiful pregnant lady glow makes a great home for pimples... the constant abdominal pressure, once you think about it it makes perfect sense, I have a human in there it's going to get crowded but my ab muscles ache all the time! I can smell what you ate an hour ago, and yes it smells bad. Do not under any circumstances try and shave your legs standing in the shower, the soapy floor, your giant belly and the akward position... I have a giant bruise on my back because of this, do not try it! Random need of naps, like REALLY random. I cried the other day while reading a book and Larin made fun of me, he said it was cute and that just made me mad so I pouted and he laughed even harder which in turn made me even more angry. Strange dreams, really weird to the point of scary, like Alice in Wonderland creepy. Super dry skin along with the acne, I can't explain how that happens but it does. Complete and utter absentmindedness, I ask Larin a question and ask it again in five minutes because I forgot I asked him, I leave my purse, keys, notebooks, etc. all over the place. So I ask my doctor about these things, and what is her answer... oh, that's just because you're pregnant. What can I do about it.... wait until you aren't pregnant. That's helpful, yeah, I am glad you went to all that medical school to tell me that, THANKS. As you can tell the hormones have begun raging and making me a fun person to be around! Anywho, we got our TV and Larin loves it, now whenever he sees our other TVs he says they are too small. Men are weird. I am so excited about going up for thanksgiving. You know how usually you are like hmmm... the apple and the pumpkin and the cherry pie all look so good but you can only choose one because you are watching your weight over the holidays... not me I'm going to have a slice of apple, pumpkin and cherry pie because no matter what I do I'm going to gain weight so I am going to have a ball doing it! Why... BECAUSE I'M PREGNANT!

So when thinking of a word to describe me, most of you know all to well to stay away from GRACEFUL. I have spent the past 20 years on this planet and still have yet to figure out this whole gravity thing. I trip over invisible objects and spend a lot of time picking myself up off the ground, I have learned to laugh about it and find it funny. So imagine putting 15 pounds right in front of me in center, yeah, bad idea. Now my so called center of balance (remember not much balance there before) is all thrown off and to top it off I can't see what I'm running into. Last night Larin and I spent a few minutes trying to figure out where and how I got all these bruises. Oh how fun! Pregnancy wise I'm doing much better, no longer sick and I am having fun feeling our little one growing. Larin finally was patient enough and got to feel his son kick, it was so cute! He was like that's it!! I'm like yeah, well it's not your insides he is jumping around on!! Starting to get uncomfortable at times but otherwise just trying to enjoy it and eat whatever I want. Here's 20 weeks photo of the belly, HALF WAY!!!
Larin and I celebrated our two year anniversary yesterday. He got the day off work and we spent the day together and had fun. A kind of anniversary/Christmas gift we got was a flat screen 56" TV which will be arriving soon, Larin is PUMPED. It goes into his "man room". I am reupholstering a couch in what else but camo color and I will post pics of his man room when we are finished setting it up.

UPDATE!

I am finally posting again! It has been pretty busy these past few weeks with school midterms, and the ATC Ball we had to attend for Larin's job. Due to my absent mind I forgot the camera and have no pictures of us all dressed up. It was nice to have a little getaway weekend, the ball was in Park City and we had a big suite with an awesome jetted giant tub, which was my favorite since I'm not allowed in the hot tub I got to relax in there. It was fun to get all prettied up and into a nice gown even with this growing belly! Some friends there took pictures of us so maybe I can find one later.
Here is a picture of the belly at 18-19 weeks!
And I am only halfway through! I can feel our little boy kicking and squirming and he is definitely getting big and strong, here are some more ultrasound pics from our last appointment.These are the tiny feet I feel!And just in case there was any doubt in our minds he showed us that we can buy all blue things, because he is definitely a he.
