Belly Pic Update

Okay, here is what I think will be last belly picture for all of you fans of my belly. A little over 2 weeks and baby girl will be here!





And just for fun, here is what I looked like with Samuel at about the same number of weeks...


I have every intention of posting one more time before Christmas, but in case I'm a complete loser and do not do so, Merry Christmas everyone!

Samuel brings such Joy

Samuel broke his first Christmas ornament. For some reason this is noteworthy to me, just one of many firsts. Unfortunately it was a rather new ornament, fortunately I hadn't grown any sentimental attachment to it.

I couldn't get mad at him. It was my fault he was even in the room with the Christmas tree (we finally found the most awesome baby gate that he can NOT break through, no matter how hard he tries).

Besides, when your kid has this much fun with a spatula and diapers, you just learn to appreciate the small things.

You know you're pregnant when...

-Your husband, who is usually a walking heater and gets annoyed when you stick your cold feet under him to get warm, is now curling up to you to stay warm...
-And sticking his cold feet on you - and you don't mind one bit because it feels good
-Same husband then calls you a "freak of nature" because you have the fan directly pointed at you, the covers kicked off, and it's 40 degrees outside.
-You turn the heat on in the car, then turn it to the air because it's too hot, roll down your window because the air isn't cool enough, then turn it back to heat because you got too cold all in the same 5 minute car ride.
-Think a baked potato topped with baked beans and french fried onions sounds good, and you actually eat it.
-Have a sudden craving for rice krispie treats at 9pm, make yourself some, sit on the couch with the pan and proceed to eat half of the treats...
-Then wake up around 3am and wonder why you feel so nauseous...
-Go to the bathroom 3 times in a 30 minute period
-Laugh along with your husband as he teases you about something and then the next minute start crying because he's "being so mean."
-Cry because there are too many raisins in your bowl of Raisin Bran.
-Know you're completely exhausted and need to go to bed but you don't have the energy to walk the few feet down the hall and so you just sit on the couch and start crying until your husband has compassion on you and picks you up (yep all XXX pounds of you) and carries you to bed.
-Wake up in the morning feeling like someone beat you up during the night
-Wake up feeling more tired than when you went to bed...

While at the Doctor's Office today...

Doctor (while measuring my belly): "You've officially run out of room."

Does this mean I can stop growing for the next 7 weeks?

Spoiled

My husband spoils me.

Last night he took me out to dinner and surprised me with a pearl necklace.

All because he wanted to thank me for being me.

And I fell in love with him all over again...

PICTURES!!!

Finally, I have the pictures for the previous post:



Yes, he's laying on the floor because he was mad at me for making him wear that costume again and right before his nap! And once again, blogger has a mind of its own and has rotated my picture for some odd reason...



The gorgeous colors and the perfect weather has made taking walks and playing outside so pleasant and fun right now!

And last, but not least, a belly pic. Taken today at 31 weeks and 4 days.

No Camera

Equals a sad Aubrey. We can't find our camera, so while this post would be full of pictures, I unfortunately have nothing to share.

Samuel was an adorable little dog for Halloween... couldn't find my camera so no pictures. As soon as I find it though I'm dressing him up again and taking pictures.

I would update you with a belly pic - I'm soooo big. Although the doctor said I'm looking good and right on track. That's not how I feel.

We actually have Fall happening here in Oklahoma. The trees have turned amazing colors that you just don't see that often around here. The weather is amazing and has offered many beautiful walks with Samuel.

But alas, no pictures.

Okay, so the irony of ironies. My feet fell asleep on me while writing this post and while trying to massage the tingling feeling out I found the camera shoved down amid all the cords under the computer... Looks like you will be getting those pictures sooner rather than later.
