going back in time

wanna belly wrestle? I was always forgetting how big my stomach was and would bump into everything. ended up with a burn mark from the oven on mytummy....thank God that went away...but still have the stretch marks that didnt show their ugly selves untill after the baby was born. (sneaky bastards)


me just not giving a crap about anything but trying to get comfortable...I would take long baths to help relieve the leg cramps and alieviate some of the weight and strain on my poor bones. Here i'm about week 40 and worried that my water could break while in the tub (most doctors arent that worried just because statistically, the chances of it happening are slim)


Me in full hormonal swing at the baby shower when I was 38 weeks. I broke down in 'happy' tears when I recieved Avery's first little Snoopy from my Dad....that's kinda his thing.
and the cake tasted wonderful despite the expression on Jamie's face....he was copeing as best he could with the swollen, moody/uncomfortable incubator that I had become.


The day I took the pregnancy test for the second time and was starting to actually believe I was pregnant. I was already 12 weeks along and hadn't noticed any nausea before except I almost passed out during a long session at work. It was 1 1/2 hour massage with a great lady client and my hands were shaking and I had tremendous heat flashes because I skipped lunch that day...Not good when your body is being taken over by a pregnancy. I didn't finish the massage and felt horrible having to excuse myself like that. My client Teresa was the one who insisted on me going and taking a pregnancy test....I was in denial. So I had to take a second one a couple weeks apart before it sunk in.
