Dear Baby

Can you please try not to tear open my insides? I know you want to get outta there and meet your awesome little family, but do you really have to punch me? This was cute when you were small. But thanks to all the eating we've been doing lately, you are getting pretty strong. One blow can jolt my entire body. People are starting to stare. As if my big belly wasn't enough to look at...

Don't worry, baby, you'll be out soon. And I'll be able to play with your real feet (not just the little bumps I feel pushing on my stomach), and you won't have to kick me or punch me to get my attention. I'll be all yours, wrapped around that tiny little finger, which is currently poking my bladder.

I love you baby.

Love Always,
Your Mommy

I'm in Full Throttle Waddle

SOOOOO i'm only about 8 weeks away!! I can't believe it has gone so fast. I don't know what to do with myself. that's like... NOTHING!

I've knocked down 32 weeks. What's eight more? I could probably hibernate until then, only waking to eat and use the bathroom. That would be nice, but instead I have to go to school, and more regular doctor appointments. And with this whole "nesting instinct" thing kicking in, there is rarely a waking moment when I don't want to clean something.... Okay, so maybe that's an overstatement, but me and Juan have kicked our organization and cleaning into high gear. We rearranged the entire house and all of the closets! The baby's room is completely cleared out. All the baby clothes and bedding we have are washed and put away.

And now I'm so big that I can't move without waddling and grunting, I had to take off my rings, and I have officially lost my ankles. I can't wait to deflate!

I also wanted to throw it out there that I have registered at babies r us. You can look up my registry at babiesrus.com. One of my friends is throwing me a shower here, but I won't be able to make it home again until after the baby is born.

Anyways.. That's all for now. I will have to post a belly picture soon - I'm way overdue.

Hope all is well. It was great seeing most of you at Christmas!
