My Favorite Girl

She made the holidays so much fun this year!!!

Holiday Fun

Hope everyone had a great holiday! Happy New Year too- 2009 will be a great year!

20 Weeks In, 20 Weeks Out!!!!

I am halfway pregnant today- well all the way pregnant but halfway done with being pregnant. The stork will be bringing Baby G in 140 days.

What the hell is a diaper genie, where does it go, how does it work, why do I need one....

Just a question....or two or four thousand. Will I ever know how to use any of the stuff at the baby store? Will I ever even want to read a manual or assemble something? Lately I've been thinking of alternatives using very basic household items rather than all of these products they sell at the stores. You'd be amazed what I came up with involving my ceiling fan. I've been doing all of this thinking in between crying, having scary dreams, crying some more, then laughing like crazy, going to the bathroom, drinking apple juice, oh and then some more crying.

Boy, Oh Boy!

I knew it! From embryo to duck to lentil to cashew to Baby Boy G!
According to the doctor, "It's a boy and he's not ashamed to show it." Matt and I are too proud for words...Not that I could tell it was a boy- I thought the kidneys were the eyes!!!

Being a Shih Tzu is Just So Hard

Coming Along

Things are moving right along, developmentally that is. I am just over 18 weeks pregnant and go for the big ultrasound on Wednesday. Hopefully what's growing inside of me will cooperate and we will be able to find out if it is a boy or a girl. I haven't really started doing anything else to get ready (what am I supposed to be doing anyway?) but I've at least started making a mental list of things to do. That's a start.

Other good things going on...Thanksgiving...Doing all the Christmas stuff...Celebrating birthdays...And just being.

By the way, this is the same belly I have been trying to hold in for 31 years, now I just can't do it anymore. It's weird /sad it took so long/ and completely great to finally feel proud of it!


Am I having a girl or a boy?
