Aww Shucks

Sweet daddy picture, huh? Do ya like my big ole Buddha belly? That's what I get to see whenever I look down. A giant tummy. It's hard on a girl who is as vain as I am. I'll admit it. I've lost my girlish figure. But whenever I feel my baby boy kick and squirm in my big momma tummy, I forget all about how gross I feel and remember that I've got someone growing inside me! Crazy. (And it helps that my Tim looks at me differently too. He gives me proud daddy eyes. That's something I really like...)

I still feel HUGE. I've gotten some nice complements at work lately though and I just need to focus on those... (that's the nice part about working as a children's librarian at a public library!) But it's hard on a girl when you gain 30+ pounds in less than a year. It sure does a number on your self esteem. Well, today a coworker and I went out to dinner and our waiter asked me how far along I was. He guessed 4 or 5 months, because his girlfriend was also pregnant - just over 6 months. I told him that I have 8 weeks to go and he said that I looked fantastic. (We made sure to give him a big tip for that.)

Anyway, next week I take my last ultrasound and I'll get to see my little jellybean. The doc will get an estimate on his weight and size and all that good stuff. So far, so good. I can't wait to see my little fella!
