25 week belly

Ta-da!

Also, "ta-blah" applies. Thankfully she's just pushing out forward, not sideways too.

It's a regular Tae Bo gym in my tummy lately. I can see her karate chop from the outside now, which is strangely endearing. Mostly just strange though. Squirrel is still being such a good girl... she lets me sleep all the way through the night. Keep that habit, child.

Went through a mess of nesting this past weekend. Bought paint for Squirrel's dresser, new stuff for the house and started sorting through Random Boxes of Crap that have been sitting in our closet for 2 years. I put a bunch of stuff up on Freecycle for porch pick up, but nobody wants it... at least not yet. I'll give it a week then it all goes to Katy Christian Ministries. Also started rolling ideas around with Mom for our girl's first scrapbook pages, starting with the ultrasounds. Once I get those put to paper you can bet I'll be posting them!

Also, I've forgotten to post this because I didn't have it scanned until last week, but... for my birthday I got a 24 week ultrasound. You can see her little face...the first pic is a sweet smile, the second pic is a death metal scream! Expressive little Squirrel!

I'm late. Again.

I told you guys I was terrible at this.

Since last update I have...

*Played awesome hostess at a killer July 4th party. Here's a picture of all the pregnant ladies at the party, due November, September and June (born July 7!) in order left to right.

*Turned a year older (now 27)

*Gazed nervously at the still unfinished pink baby headband, afraid to do the final finishing stitch

*Most likely eaten my weight in Pringles

*Started crying MUCH easier than I ever thought I would

*Purchased this super cute crib bedding for Squirrel's room

*Popped

That's right, the dreaded "pop". When viewing my from the side, my boobs no longer stick out the farthest on my body. As evidenced below...

Whiiiiiiiiine. Everyone says I look great. I certainly feel great, and I think I look ok. It's just hard to watch yourself go through so many changes, no matter how expected they are.

So that picture was snapped at 22 weeks, 3 weeks ago. And this is at 24 weeks, taken after a night on the town for my birthday, July 15...

Next up? I want to start sanding and preparing to paint the dresser that will eventually go in Squirrel's room. And paint, definitely paint.
