Heh.

So, in just 4-7 weeks, we're going to meet the contents of mah belly. Weird. It seems sooooo long from now and I know it's really not. I'm nervous. What if PM is jealous? Like green-eyed, mean-spirited, violent jealous? What do I do? I only have my Momma and little brother here for maybe a week after I come home, if I'm lucky. I won't be able to chase the little bugger, he's reallyreallyreally fast. Do I lock us in the house and pray for sanity? (maybe I should start praying for that now.) I bought him some picture books to help with learning about babies and what they need and how to be a big brother but what if after 4 years as the ONLY child, he decides to punish me for making him an older brother? GAH! (Note: I am not at all worried about having a baby in the house. I can't bring myself to worry about someone I haven't ever laid eyes on!) Perhaps I'll be pleasantly surprised? My fingers, eyes, toes, legs and arms are all crossed!

30 weeks 5 days

I don't think it's getting any smaller. I'm kind of afraid of how big it's really going to get. This was as big as I got when I had the Pirate Monkey and that date is still 6 weeks away. Oh. My. Gosh.

I love this.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;

forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;

be kind anyway.

If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies;

succeed anyway.

If you are honest people may cheat you;

be honest anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

do good anyway.



Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the end, it is between you and God;

it was never between you and them anyway.

Pregnancy Update: The Lazy Edition

Total weight gain? no clue, i turn my back to the scale
Maternity clothes? Absolutely!

Belly button? Almost flat
Gender? No clue, I think boy everyone else says girl
Labor signs? None so far.
Best moment this week? The party in my abdomen that I was not invited to!

What I look forward to? Meeting Bebe and being able to take a deep breath :)
Milestones? We're in the homestretch. Only 9 more weeks to go!

how time flies.

I'll blink and this bebe will be here, this much I am certain of. PM had a checkup today, he's huge (we knew this), he's smart (we knew this too). He's incredibly tolerant of getting shots. Nary a tear or tantrum to be seen! It was amazing! Love that little guy. Such a proud Mama. And as I type he's eating bubbles in the bathtub, I don't know why. Still, proud.

kiddo turns 4.

Oh

Wow. It' May. May is a big month for us. I'm now 7 months preggo. PM turns 4. PGY1 joins me at the 29 mark. And let us not forget Mother's day! I need to actually write a post, like an honest to goodness post soon. Or maybe just put a photo up :)
