belly talk
so not too much has been goin’ on around here. we’re just enjoying our christmas tree, making popcorn strands, and working on homemade christmas gifts. actually, it’s been pretty fun. 🙂 we’re even going to take our christmas card picture soon.
anyhoo…since i haven’t really talked about my expanding waist line much, i decided to finally take the time! plus, i keep getting asked what i look like or how big i am. i’m technically 25 weeks, which i just call around 6 months, along, so i’m not GIGANTIC yet, but i do have a pronounced baby belly now. which is kinda nice because before i just felt lumpy and bloated. 🙂 i even got my first “when are you due?” question at the supermarket. i haven’t been felt up yet though, probably because we don’t know anybody.
anyhoo…things in my stomach are going fine a guess! i had another u/s on wednesday to look at something, and another doctor’s appointment this morning. my usual doctor’s appointments consist of putting my purse down, getting weighed (oh gosh…..it keeps going up), peeing in a cup, getting my blood pressure taken, answering questions, then chatting with my practitioner then my doctor, then getting jelly squirted on my belly and listening to the the little fellow’s heart beat, which was around 150 bpm this morning. fun times! so far i only go once a month, but pretty soon i’ll get to go every two weeks. i also get my blood glucose tested after christmas…fun times. 🙂
ok, so here’s that picture of me. my shirt flared a little so i’m not *that* big, just close, but you get the idea.

(if you’re wondering why the chair is facing the wall, it’s because leia likes to jump on it and chew the arms of the chair….she’s a chewer!)
another thing i keep getting questions about is where i’m registered at. well….ok….i’m registered at two different places, both equally important. well, kinda three, but i’ll explain.
first there’s target. just search for either my, or eric’s, name.
second, there’s wishlist.com. yes, the very same wishlist.com where my christmas list is located. but the baby registry is located here. the password is “Tangerine”. i’m sorry about the password, but if i take it off, then it jumbles my christmas list with my baby registry. this list includes a link to my third registry…
third! my diaper service! my diaper registry can be found here. please don’t forget about this registry! it is very important! 😀 not only can weeks of service be purchased, but also all the accessories for cloth diapering and butt accessories, too (and yes, i said cloth diapers, don’t give me sarcasm, disposables are yucky).
whew! that’s it! 😀 now i’m going to go update the pug’s blog! 😀

jakki’s recipe for the meatballs is from her family–i’ll see if she can send them your way. 🙂 they’re super tasty.
and by the way, i was a cloth diaper baby! 🙂
