Embracing the boobs!

This is a girl-to-girl conversation. So, if you are a dude (besides my husband) reading my blog just click the little "X" on the right-hand side of the screen (or left-hand side if your using a Mac). And, dude, why are you reading my blog?

So. . .on to the girl-to-girl conversation. . .

I always thought a huge PLUS of pregnancy would be boobs! Yes, I said it! Boobs. B. O. O. B. S. Tatas. Breast. Boobies. Big balls of fat! I always thought it would be great to actually have boobs for a change. Mine have always been relatively small. Not tiny. But small. Like A when I'm really in shape and B when I let myself put on a few el bees (or pounds). A lifelong member of "The Itty Bitty Titty Committee" small.

I am no long a member of that committee. . .because since becoming impregnated I have jumped 2 sizes! And, I'm not liking them very much. And, I will say it now. I. Do. Not. Ever. See myself getting a boob job. Never say never, blah blah blah. But, really I don't see myself ever wanting big boobs! Unless, of course, my boobs are hanging down to my knees after I'm done reproducing. Then I will have surgery. But then, even then, they will be small!

I will tolerate them now, because I know they are doing their job! Their only purpose in this world. They are getting ready to fatten up a sweet little baby come February and that to me is amazing. It truly is a miracle! I am floored EVERYday at God's creativity! He is, honestly, the Great Creator!!! If I wasn't a believer before, I definitely would be now!

With all that said, I wish I could wear half the clothes in my wardrobe without boobs popping out the top or having to wear a sports bra to keep them from spilling out. I know a lot of you read my blog and know me and see me on a weekly/daily basis and don't think my boobs are big! But, in comparison, they are! And, I am not used to it. Not used to it one bit. And, I'm ready to be able to NOT have to dress around my boobs! But, like I said before, I can deal! I would have the biggest boobs in the world forever if it means a HAPPY, HEALTHY baby!


Seriously! This could be me in 5 months!

Yes, you are right. I searched Google Images for boobs. But I searched "boob cartoons" hoping to not see to much pornographic material. This is as bad as it got!

Chubby Nugget Babies

This morning I was catching up on my blogs. . .my favorite part of the day! I was reading my friend, Sarah's, blog and she posted about her son (who happens to be one precious little boy)only being in the 50th percentile at his last check up. She continued about how she just loooooooooooves chubby nugget babies. As do I! The chubbier the better. . .is the way I see it! If only that were true for us grown-ups! Ha! "Soft" is not so flattering later on in life!

So, in the spirit of Sarah's post, I thought I would show you one of my favorite chubby nugget baby pictures!

Without further ado, here is the chubby nugget himself:


Who is this, you ask? Its my hubby! When he was around 6 months old (I think)! Is this what I have to look forward to? Oh, I hope so! Have I mentioned? I. Cannot. Wait.

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday! I'm just getting through this day! Ha! I am so anxious to get my hair did tomorrow! Tomorrow's appointment is WAY OVER DUE! But, don't expect to see anything drastic. . .I'm trying to grow it out! I'm just trimming and going darker. And, yes, I am DYING MY HAIR WHILE BEING PREGNANT! Call me crazy! But, I look like I should be living in a trailer park with these dark roots. I'm coloring once and I am done until February! That is why I am going dark!

Weekend Wrap Up

We had a nice, relaxing weekend! It was absolute PERFECT weather.

The weekend started with some friends, The Floyd's, at Mellow Mushroom. My absolute favorite pizza joint! We got the Coco Loco, something, pizza! To. Die. For. Hummus base with mozzarella, feta cheese (yes, I know preggers aren't supposed to eat feta), sundried tomatoes, and spinach. SO YUM! I want to go back. Floyd's?

So Saturday, we went to Eureka and met up with Aaron's friend and co-worker, Clare. She is cool. She has an iPhone, like every other person on the planet, with a really cool application called "Shake It". It is a picture application that looks like a Polaroid picture. Shake it like a Polaroid picture. . .

Here are some of the fun iPhone pictures she took!


the crazy TinMan! if you are ever in Eureka, you have got to check him out!

some Bluegrass band!

A and I enjoying some music!

This week is looking to be pretty uneventful! I hope to start organizing "nugget's" room! We bought paint. I'm ready to paint! We are also setting up a guest bedroom for my Mom to live in once baby gets here! Ha! I. Cannot. Wait.

Hope everyone has a great week!

I could have slept all day!

Already wearing

Maternity jeans and they feel soooooooooo good! Its like freedom for my tummy! I can just let it all hang out! Thanks to my SIL for letting me borrow lots of nice maternity jeans (including a pair of Citizens)! That helps. . .helps a lot!

Getting ready to go eat with my good girlfriends! Ever since finding out I am pregnant, I do not want to do anything EVER. . .especially after 5 o'clock! I have been just so tired. Exhausted. Slowly, but surely, I am starting to get energy back. And, I'm feeling more like socializing and being my old self! I've been walking with my cousin at night, after the heat dies down a bit and I think that is really helping!

Aaron and I have plans of going to a Bluegrass Festival this weekend! I am getting really excited about hearing some good music and spending time with friends!

Happy Hump Day!

SUPRISE!

My survival kit:
lots of ginger for the little bit of nausea
BeBand. . .my pants don't fit! Its quite sad!
Pregnancy books and mags! I like to know what's going on with my body!
cute skirt. . .well, that's just because it was really cute! I could not pass it up!

Yes, I AM GROWING A HUMAN! Woo hoo! Aaron and I just got home from our doctor's appointment. I am 13 weeks and 3 days today. We heard our baby's strong and fast heartbeat. 160 bpm. Such a sweet miracle. Amazing! We are so excited!

I have had a good pregnancy so far.I have been so very tired, but that's about it. A little nausea here and there, along with headaches (and sore boobs). . .but not bad enough to complain!

Sorry for saving the news until now! I have been a little apprehensive about sharing until I heard the heartbeat. Now it all seems VERY real!


A little baby bump for you (from several weeks ago)!

I asked the doctor today if he thought I looked big for 13 weeks and his response. . .I will not answer that, but everyone shows differently! Ugh. . .what in the world? So, basically I guess he thinks yes! That's okay, I will get huge. . .I don't care. . .just as long as I have a healthy little nugget!

So, I always said that when I had a baby that I would not turn my blog into a baby blog. Well, I'm afraid I'm going to eat my words. I will TRY for it not to become something that I focus on constantly, but its so hard, because in real life it is what I am focused on constantly!

What an awesome new path my life has taken!!! Glad that you are there to enjoy it with me!

Love and hugs,
