Two years

Reposting my blog link from one year ago today...because I just can't believe it's been two years.

Dancejam

I made Dancejam today with a couple of friends. We each made a stuffed giraffe from a pattern one of the girls found online. I love him. I planned to make him for babypav but he turned out to be a little small...and perfectly Fela-mouth-sized...so I think I'll try again and make a bigger version for my bebe. I'm sure Fela appreciates that Dancejam was hand-stitched.

He is a giraffe, in case you couldn't tell.

Unemployment + Pregnancy

I woke up around 4:30 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, so when Matt's alarm went off at 6, I got up with him. I made myself a big, healthy breakfast: two hard-boiled eggs (from organic grass-fed farmer-massaged blessed chickens), a piece of Ezekiel bread with peanut butter, 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt (Brown Cow Cream Top yogurt - buy it - you're welcome) and a banana. AND a glass of OJ. I ate it all and started thinking about how productive I was going to be today, since I got up so early and started myself off with such a healthy breakfast. I took a shower, and then, around 8:30, sat down on the couch to plan my day.

I woke up on the same couch at 11:30 and then sat on the internet until about 3:00. I ate two bowls of cereal and threw on some clothes and went to the grocery store. At the grocery store, I dropped a giant bottle of barbecue sauce and it shattered on the ground and all over my Chucks. That's my big productive day.

Also, since everyone's been asking about my pregnancy cravings: Twix bars.

It's a BOY!

Matt saw the family jewels before the ultrasound tech saw them.



Everything looked normal and healthy. What a huge relief...so happy. The ultrasound tech was going down his body from head to toe. Matt saw the boy parts first and said "What is thhhhaaaat!!!!" (in a rhetorical way). As soon as she tried to actually save a picture of them he crossed his little legs so we couldn't get a penis picture. But Matt wants everyone to know that the genitals are VERY large. We think his profile looks like my dad...nose and forehead. You can even picture a little mustache and glasses on there.

O really?

I'd always wanted to know my blood type. It's O positive! Now we both know...you and I. In one hour, I'll be finding out the sex of baby P. Who will probably also be an O. Because I think my husband is the same.

Everybody look at me! I'm huge.

Bank teller: "Is it a boy or a girl?"

Me: "We'll find out next week."

Teller: [dumbfounded] "Next week?!? But I thought you could find out at, like, five months?"

Me: "Yes...I'm 20 weeks."

Teller: [jaw drops] "But you're SOOOO BIG!"

20 weeks

The necklace is a gift from Matt for our 5th wedding anniversary. My gift to him was Grand Theft Auto IV for the PS3 (that's also why he is not in the family picture).
