tums = my best friend

peanut butter & jelly = heartburn
toast = heartburn
sometimes even water = heartburn

It's going to be a looong summer.
This kid better be glad I like him.

holy moly!

Take a gander at the little floating baby to the right...if you click on the numbers it tells you how many weeks pregnant you are, how many days so far, how many weeks you have left and how many days you have left. I have 100 days left. That means tomorrow I'm in double digits. Holy Moly!
Just a little news flash. You may carry on with your day now. :)
Just a minor freakout, no biggie.

25 weeks

Here is 24 weeks and 25 weeks respectively.

seriously? a whale?

So on the way to the crawfish boil yesterday (at which I totally gorged on crawfish and shrimp), some song came on that said something about a big blue whale. My dear, dear husband looked over at me, resung the lyric and said "and look, you're wearing blue!" Really? He better be glad I don't take half of what he says seriously...or at least that I was having a good hormone day. Especially when a few hours later, I was on my either 3rd or 4th plate of crawfish and this jackass of a guy is like, "Man it's funny to watch a pregnant woman eat...they just don't give a sh!t. They just eat." Really? Dude, I don't even like you. Go away and leave me to my crawfish or I just might rip your head off, then your tail, peel off your extremities and EAT YOU! That'd be pretty funny to watch, wouldn't it? :)

Belly pics to come...

random stuff

View of my feet...can't see em? Yeah, me either.


Memory board I made



Shadow boxes in nursery. I need more stuff for them...I'm not leaving the stuff in the right one. I'm probably going to do something else with those.



Justin stained and attached the letters. The E is a little crooked, but he hasn't had a chance to fix it yet.

Who will Cole look like?

newborn Lacy


newborn Justin (supposedly) I don't think it looks like him...


yes, I looked like a boy


stupid hat.


it's not a baby pic, but he's just so cute


poor little guy's got a mis-shaped head...and he's giving the finger.

24 weeks

Here are my 22 and 24 week pics respectively. I didn't post the 23 week picture b/c I looked so horrible in it. :)

butt kicking

Okay, so a few days ago I posted on my facebook status "pregnancy is like having your butt kicked from the inside." I saw it on someone's blog and thought it was hilarious. Little did I know...
For some reason, Cole has started kicking me in the butt. At least that's what it feels like. Instead of feeling the kicks in my belly, it feels like he is kicking backwards...in my butt. I don't know if this is normal or not, but it's definitely nothing I had ever even thought about before. I always wondered what it would feel like to be pregnant. I love it. I love feeling him moving around in there. But, there are many things I never even thought about happening...like getting kicked in the butt.

survey

How far along? 23 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: up about 8 lbs (I think)
Maternity clothes? Yes, my favorite and most hated thing at this point.
Stretch marks? Not yet...
Sleep: Between my coughing husband and peeing 4 times a night, it's not great...but when I get it, it's good. I have started cocooning myself in pillows.
Best moment this week: Feeling Cole kick
Movement: Cole likes to kick when I lay down at night. Other times are just random.
Food cravings: Unfortunately sweets. Right now I would love a piece of red velvet cake.
Gender: boy!
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? In-barely...last night it got kinda flat. Justin was so excited.
What I miss: margaritas
What I am looking forward to: being able to breathe again
Weekly Wisdom: stop eating till you can't breathe...
Milestones: umm...just lots of kicking...

23 weeks

Here are my 22 week and 23 week pictures. The middle picture was taken sometime this past week. I included that one since my 23 week picture is so ugly. I had just gotten back from Wal-Mart (bad idea on a Sunday afternoon). I was in a really bad mood so I didn't even change into my token black shirt. So I posted the middle pic to redeem myself somewhat (even though I'm smiling stupid in it).

I'm having a little attitude problem today...and have been having self esteem issues. I'm feeling a little not cute these days. I have no clothes to wear and I feel like I just look fat. Whatever, I guess I should just suck it up and get used to it for at least the next few months. It'll all be worth it.

Cole has been very active. He's quite the little kicker.

Amanda gave birth to Parker late March 31st. I can't wait to meet him and see Amanda and Steven. I know they are so excited that he's here.

I guess that's it for now...I need to take a shower and go to bed. Hopefully I'll have a better attitude tomorrow.

hmmm...

So I'm wearing a shirt similar to this today...

I walked into the bathroom and thought, hmmm, I bear a striking resemblance to this guy...

It could be worse, I guess. At least it's not this guy.

gummy worms

I think my kiddo loves gummy worms as much as I do.

MMM...gummy worms :)
