How could anyone say no to a bulldog in a bow tie?  I mean, as if he doesn't look 100 times more adorable than usual when he wears this thing, but it has freakin alligators on it.  Did you hear me?  Alligators.  I can die now.

And I thought my hair was crazy in the morning...

Letter to Baby Girl: 30 Weeks

Dear Baby Girl,

We've made it to 30 weeks!  Can you believe it?  Only 10 weeks to go!  Don't get me wrong, I'm so excited to meet you but I feel like your Dad and I need 10 more weeks to prepare for bringing you home...so sit tight please.  You must have hit a growth spurt recently, because my belly has gotten BIG and hopefully it's you and not the boxes of Girl Scout Cookies your Daddy ordered.  You have been rolling around a bunch lately and your Daddy and I can't get enough of you.  I've been staying pretty active this entire pregnancy, still running (although it's pathetically slow) and still cross fitting (also unimpressive) so hopefully you're not too bored in there. 

Love, Mom

Due Date: May 28, 2013

Gender: GIRL!!

Movement:  Movement has changed from the kicking and punching to more rolling and stretching.  She already loves her daddy, b/c anytime he puts his hand on my belly, she puts on quite the show. 

Feeling: I'm feeling great! I'm still running and cross fitting and overall, I have nothing to complain about.

Food Cravings: Nothing really, with the exception of Juice.  I have had gallons of juice during this pregnancy, but mostly, I think it's a substitute for my nightly alcohol consumption. 

Food Aversions: Nothing (unfortunately)

Clothes: Mostly maternity jeans, leggings and skirts.  I bought a few maternity tshirts that are okay, but I'm still wearing some of my pre pregnancy tops.  

 
Stretch Marks: None for now.  Fingers crossed.

Sleep: Sleep has been kind of sucky.  I'm a back sleeper and that's a big no no for pregnant women.  So, I switch from side to side all night trying to get comfortable.  Fun times.

Symptoms: No real symptoms, other than a belly 

What I Miss: Beer, Wine and Turkey Sandwiches

Transitioning

This guy is not dealing well with the adorable white bunny just sitting in Baby Girl's room.  I mean, this penguin is great and all, but HE.WANTS.THAT.BUNNY.  BAD.  LIKE OBSESSIVELY BAD.  IT'S TAUNTING HIM.   And I'm just not quite sure how to deal with it.  We're all learning I guess.  This preparing for a baby in the house is affecting all of us. 

Requested to Return

Once upon a time I blogged.  Like regularly.  Then one day I got busy with work and mildly overwhelmed with life happenings and bored with the stuff I was writing about...I mean, how many photos of Munch do you really want to see??  So I stopped.  And I enjoyed stopping b/c I had no pressure to create something interesting enough that allowed me to hit the publish button.  But then things in my life started changing and OH MY GOD I got pregnant and even more crazy, OH MY GOD IT'S A BABY GIRL, and now my family and a few others are requesting my return to blog world so they can all see what's going on with us, and by us, I mean baby girl.  I can't promise anything I have to say will be interesting and I can't promise you're not going to be bombarded with pics of my handsome little Munch and I can't promise you I won't talk about how huge I'm getting and how poorly I'm dealing with it, but hey, you asked for it. And just because it doesn't seem right to have a blog post without an obligatory Munch pic...and don't mention his weight, we're both sensitive about it.
