First post

So I decided to start a blog.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to keep everyone important in my life updated on things with the more pregnant I become, the busier we all become, and the more people move away!
Myspace and Facebook are nice for quick updates, e-mails and pictures, but I'm not really fond of their blogs or notes for really keeping people updated.

Yesterday when I decided I wanted to start this I had about a million things I wanted to write about. Now I can't even think of one.
I'm staying at my parents this weekend. Matt is away on his annual camping trip with the guys, and I HATE being home alone overnight. I'm screwed if he ever gets a job where he has to travel.
He'll be back tomorrow and hopefully he had a good time. He works so hard, so he deserves a nice break.
I'm also 27 weeks pregnant tomorrow. Sometimes it feels like it's going fast, other times it really feels like it's dragging. But I suppose I'm 2/3 of the way done with it, and that's pretty impressive. I'm kind of sad that I didn't get a cute little belly like most of the other people I know. I've been carrying very low the entire time (which people CONSTANTLY feel the need to tell me, hmmm.....don't you think I already know this??). So I had held off on taking more pictures until I had a cute little pregnant looking belly to show, and really, it barely looks like I'm pregnant in my mind, I personally think it looks like I've just put on weight. I'd also like to know by the time most normal women are at the 6-7 month mark how much weight they have put on. I know what you're supposed to gain according to your prebaby weight and height and all.....but I don't want a chart or quoted weight. I want to know REAL women's actual weights!! Most women at work told me that with their first they gained WAY too much. One said 70 total. Another said almost 100. Well, I'm nowhere near either of those. And while I do have 3 months left, I am not too too worried, because I put a lot of my weight on in my first 4 months, and have been holding rather steady for the last 2 months or so, with only small gains. So anyway, I just kind of look fat at this point, and keep waiting for my "cute" little belly to pop, but it's looking hopeless. So no pics there. Plus when I went for my 20 week U/S, by the time she was done taking all her measurements, he had moved face down, so we only got 2 pictures of him. I was kind of upset. Well, not kind of, I was really upset. I cried later when we were home. I tried not to let it get to me too much though, because hopefully we are going to go to the place that does the the 3D ultrasounds. You can get pictures and CDS and all that of the baby. I've heard it's fabulous. So hopefully we can do that here really soon.
I've got my glucose test on the 27th. Oh joy.


Okay, well, I'm going to go eat my chocolate cake and my vanilla ice cream with reeses now.
