well here it is folks, that belly of mine that seems to be growing at an exponential rate these days. there are times when i absolutely love my little pooch and all the wonderful things it means, like when chris and i lie in bed and watch the little man doing the wave under my skin or when i feel his little kicks and movements throughout the day (and night). and then there are times when the belly is not so pleasant, like when i step on the bathroom scale in the morning to see combinations of numbers i've never seen before or when the 27th outfit i try on doesn't fit or look right around my growing spherical self.
but in all honesty, i can't believe how quickly this whole pregnancy thing is flying by. at first when i was constantly nauseous and while we were waiting and hoping for the time in limbo to pass, the days dragged on. i often thought that december seemed infinitely far away, it might as well been on pluto. yet, here it is, well into the 24th week of this 40 week long engagement and i find myself wondering, worrying about what the future holds and how much our lives are going to change in just 16 short weeks--or sooner! december is looming and every day slips by almost as quickly as i outgrow my non-pregnancy wardrobe.
i imagine chris is already sick of my constant pestering about all things baby boy. the crib, the nursery, the stroller, the carseat, his name, nursing, epidurals, and the list could go on forever. chris has been on ob/gyn the past couple weeks at the hospital and so people often think that this is somehow perfect timing because he's learning to deliver babies and all that goes with labor and delivery. i have to pleasantly remind them that even though my husband is 1/2 doctor, there is no way he is going to be on the doctoring end of this baby's entrance into the world. as the baby daddy he will be up by my head where the baby daddy belongs, stroking my hair and feeding me ice chips on demand. i'm not one of his patients, i'm the angel bringing his first born son into existence. and that should qualify me for some extra special attention, don't you think?

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
embrace it. make sure to get some prego pics done. seriously. you won't regret it.
demand all the attention you can now because you will never get it in the same way again. take naps, take naps, take naps. sleep in. basically sleep as much as possible right now. you will always look back on these days with awe.
so exciting. you are doing beautifully!
PS GET A BOB. you won't regret it. best baby thing i ever bought. don't regret it.
ha ha. it is wise to keep him by your head, though he probably won't be able to help but look down below. the problem is that if he is down below and you watch his face you will probably be convinced that things are going very wrong. but in fact his face is just showing horror not because things are going wrong but because he is watching the doctor's entire arm disappear inside of you and wondering if things will ever be the same down there again...
your belly is so cute by the way!
You look adorable!!!! You have the cutest baby bump. Since your non pregnancy wardrobe is beginning to not fit, go stock up on some cute maternity clothes! I LOVE my maternity clothes, in fact, I am looking forward to the day my tummy is big enough for them :-)
You are smokin hot babe! Every mother can sympathize with you. Just a fair warning the end is what kills you. It is so close but still the days drag. I hope, for your sake the mister is early. That would be awesome and I'd be a little jealous :) I hope things continue to go well. You are such a great mama already. I love you to pieces! Let's do lunch soon? xoxo
I totally agree! Husbands should stick by their wives! They get plenty of that on the rounds, though Andrew hadn't done that yet when Emma was born, and I could tell he was itching to see the "medical" side of it.
Looking cute, as always, Stabi.
