Growing up & Out

For those of you that still check my blog. I bet you are suprised I'm actually posting. Me too! It has been since October. I'm a horrible horrible blogger. But I'm making a mid years resolution to try and be more active on this sucker. There are a couple reasons for this.

1. My mom and friend Brittany keep hounding me to start blogging. I guess hounding is a strong word, maybe encouraging is a better term.

2. As Barry and I are expecting a baby in December I feel its necessary to try and document the pregnancy.

Yes, for those of you that just choked on your drink. Barry and I are expecting, I'm pregnant, knocked up, with child, or however you want to put it. Crazy right. I totaly agree an I'm as shocked as you are. I'm really excited but totally terrified all at the same time. When did we get so old, and when did I become a responsible adult old enough to raise a child? I was still scared to tell my parents. I felt like a 16 year old girl, although my mom had me at the same age I am now.

I'm 15 weeks as of yesterday. So our due date is 12-12-12. I really hope that baby actually arrives on that day!!

Here I am yesterday, with a bit of a belly! (I would like to preface the picture with "wow this is horrible, I normally do not look like this")

Haha, I laugh looking at myself. My boobs are actually much bigger in real life then they appear on the screen. It's scary really, I hope they stop growing.

Sidenote: if you remember a post from last May, that cute giant puppy next to me is Doc who is now over a year old.

Moving on. We don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl. We currently refer to "it/baby" as a "he" becuase Barry is 100% sure that "it/baby" will be a boy. I'm rooting for him, but I don't have any idea at all.

I actually found out about being pregnant 3 hours after Barry left for Vegas in March. I had to keep the secret all weekend, and over the course of that weekend took 5 pregnancy tests. I'm very happy I did test it though as I was really excited to a wine filled girls weekend!

I will be back next week for 16 weeks, and hopefully I will have a sonogram picture to share. Actually I don't know if the doctor does a sonogram at 16 weeks or not. It will be a suprise!
