So here I am at 25 weeks. I think my belly growth is starting to slow down a little bit now. I felt like up until week 16/17 I just felt bloated. And then between week 17 to about week 23/24 my belly quadrupled in size, and now it is starting to slow down again. I am proud to say I have not yet bought any maternity cloths. Well... ok, I did buy two belly bands - one black, and one white. But I got them at Target for cheap... and compared to $30 for one pair of maternity pants, thats a great deal! Plus I can wear them with all my regular pants, just unbuttoned. I figure that as long as I can still get them over my ass I am ok :) Oh... I am also including a picture of my dog Misha. She was whining at me when I was taking pictures of my belly, so I figured she was jealous and took one of her too. My next appointment is Dec. 5th, and then I have to start going every two weeks. Thats kind of scary, cause it means it is getting closer. Alot of people have asked me if I am nervous to be a parent for the first time. But I really don't think I am at all. After taking care of a niece and lots of friends babies I feel pretty confident to do it on my own now. Oh, I know you all are thinking that I won't be alone cause I have Mike, but if you new how little my husband actually new about babies you would understand. I would have to say that honestly the thing that freaks me out the most about everything is the labor part. I am a pretty big wuss.


Well... gotta get back to my friends reruns and leftover halloween candy (I know this will be great for my GTT at my next appt.)

Ok, I figured it was about time for a new post. Some days I really feel like writing on here and then I can go a week and just have nothing to say... either that or I am just lazy. Well, I am 24 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Only 16 more weeks to go. Woo hoo! Hopefully not any more than that! I would love it if I went into labor on my due date so I can plan my maternity right up to the date, although I don't know what those chances are. Oh well. I am really excited to see Erica tomorrow. She is going to come stay with us for the weekend. Any maybe I can get some good cleaning/packing out of her :) The baby is kicking a ton now, which is really reassuring. And I am starting to feel really, really big... so I can't really imagine what I will look like 3 months from now. Ok, well my dog is jumping on the patio door so I guess that is my signal to wrap this up so I can go let her inside.

A little Tribute -
I was very shocked and sad to find out that one of my favorite authors of all time - michael crichton has died. I think I've read almost every one of his books. My favorites would have to be Andromeda Strain and Prey. Besides all the great books he has written, I also fell in love with this little known TV show called ER, which he was the creator of. Thanks to you Michael I developed a celebrity crush when I was in middle school that would continue to haunt me for the rest of my life.. (George Clooney).

Well, I haven't written anything in a while, but I thought I would write a post in honor of my first successful draw tonight. For anyone who reads this and doesn't know, I am taking a Phlebotomy Class at night for my job. I was pretty nervous at first since I there were about 20 other people watching and waiting for me screw up. But I did everything right, and drew blood! Woo hoo! I think I was actually more nervous when it came time for someone to draw me.

Anywho, Mike and I are officially closing on our house tomorrow morning. It was postponed a few days due to the bank being official a holes... but were over that, cause at least we are getting the house we really want! I can't wait to finally move out of this closet we live in. And Misha will be so happy to have a backyard to play in she will think she went to doggy heaven.

And in baby news... I am 22 weeks and 5 days right now. Ok, why don't we just call it 23 weeks. That sounds better. I am going to post a pic of my belly I took tonight along with the ultrasound pictures. I might have to battle my scanner for a while, but I am determined to get them posted.

Oh... and I can't wait for the day when I turn on the TV and can watch it for more than 3 minutes without seeing another stupid campaign ad/attack... whatever you want to call it.
