Goodbye old friend!

Goodbye old friend! You've been with me my whole life but lately you've become so shallow and almost non existent. At this point I must say goodbye. But old friend this won't be permanent, I hope you will re-join our friendship in about 4 months. Dear Mr. Belly Button, you will be missed...

I et a bebe!

I can't believe how much I've grown in such a short time! The last time I took a bump picture was 2 weeks ago and I look so much bigger. When I started taking pictures of the baby bump, I thought it would be fun to continue to wear the exact same outfit for each picture so we have an accurate idea of the growth but after this last spurt I'm not sure this is going to work out. I have a feeling that by the time the next 3 1/2 months pass this shirt might do an Incredible Hulk seam split!

In this picture I'm 22 weeks 6 days but measuring either 1 or 3 weeks ahead, depending on what you're measuring. The baby is measuring a week ahead and the baby's swimming pool is measuring 3 weeks ahead.

Also, in the back ground you can see the initial progress of the nursery decor, got lots more painting to do, I'll blog about the nursery when it gets farther along.

First Stranger Comment

So I work with a ton on 50+ year old men-really really random work demographic. Anyway, yesterday I was standing outside an office waiting to talk to someone and this guy, who is probably in his early sixties, whom I'd never talked to before comes up right next to me (so close that his side was touching my side) and with his rancid breath says to me "Looks like we're having a baby! When are we due" Apparently I was a feeling a bit snotty because I looked at him and told him "I'm due in December...When are you due?"

Please pray for my friend!

I have a dear sweet friend who has struggled with infertility for the past year. After changing doctors several times and being on hiatus between doctors, she became pregnant with a miracle baby and discovered the pregnancy a few weeks ago. Since then she's had several complications but on Friday was able to go in to hear the heartbeat for the first time. Yesterday her blood work came back with bad news and she's most likely going to have a miscarriage. I'm absolutely heart broken for she and her husband. Please, friends and family, pray that they will be comforted and strengthened in this time of grief.

Before we found out what we were having Matt and I were pretty much set on a boys name and a girls name. Now that we know that we're having a boy, Matt wants to make sure we've chosen the "right" name. So basically that means we're back to square one! The middle name is set because it's a family name. Kay is Matt's middle name, his dad's middle name and his grandfather's middle name. Because of this I feel it's appropriate that our son's middle name will also be Kay.

Hendrix Kay was the name we'd chosen before we found out it's a boy. Now our list has grown from Hendrix to:

Hendrix Kay
Brodrick Kay
Cohen Kay
Greyson Kay
Holden Kay
Maddox Kay

Randomness...

So I had my regular monthly doctor's appointment today. Surprise surprise I'm still measuring big-Bigger in fact! I'm now measuring 3 weeks ahead-I think I'm going to give birth to a 2 year old! Can he be potty trained too by the time he comes out? One good thing about it is I'll get to have yet another ultrasound! Hooray! I've got one scheduled next week just to get the measurements they weren't able to get on July 31 and then the next one will probably be some time late September.

I had a funny case of prego brain today. I packed my lunch this morning and left for work. On my way to work I got to thinking about what exactly it was that I'd packed in my lunch. I looked in my lunch sack, there was a small bag of chips, some grapes, an apple and a brownie. That's it. I'd completely forgotten to make and pack my sandwich! Oh when will I get my brain back?

I also had an interesting encounter with a coworker today. The demographics of the people I work with is really interesting. They're mostly 50+ year old men. So this one oldish man whom I've never met nor talked to walked by me-not really close, about 20 feet away or so-kind of hollered at me "You look good in that red thing". I was wearing this beautiful burgundy red shirt that my mother-in-law got for me for Christmas so I'm assuming that's the "red thing" he was referring to. It was an unusual compliment-TOTALLY creepy!

The pregnancy dreams continue. My belly button is really strange to me right now. It kind of makes this LARGE indented circle under my clothes and I hate it. I dreamt the other night that I took some cotton balls and scotch taped them into my belly button to flatten it out under my clothes. That morning I seriously considered trying it out but figured it'd probably just itch!

That's it for now, I'll keep you posted if any further randomness comes up!

To my dear sweet little boy...

Please oh please sweet baby please stop using my organs as trampolines! Though my bladder may get full frequently and infringe on your personal space, it's not necessary to bounce continually on it until I sprint to the bathroom. Let me tell you, little boy, my full bladder isn't fun for either of us and I'll empty it as soon as I'm able!

Also darling, thank you so much for not making me look hugely pregnant yet. Three different people told me how tiny I look today. I love the word tiny!

Your assistance with the bladder problem will be greatly appreciated.

Love you little boy and can't wait to meet you!

-Your Mommy
