On a softer note...
Ok, enough about me, lets talk about this little cantaloupe-yes he is the size of a small cantaloupe this coming week as saturday will be 25 weeks!!
We finally cleaned out some room for the little man so we can get started on his nursery soon. I have to switch the bed out of the guest bedroom and move to the next bedroom, but at least it's walkable in there and ready to move! He already has a few baby clothes ready for him! We got an amazing deal from a family off of Craigslist on his swing, bouncer, travel system and a glider chair. And we have a crib and changing table to set up as well. Meghan even got me a jumperoo, jungle style! We are getting there!! You should have seen Ben trying to work the travel system last night. He wasn't stopping until he figured it out. We didn't have instructions for it, so we had fun with it. Ben was determined to know every button, every latch, every snap. It was cute!
Been getting the emails and phone calls about baby showers! How fun! I cannot even wait! And getting the cute little outfit gifts are so much fun!
We registered at Target, Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us. Target because it's everywhere obviously, Babies R Us because it's a classic here in bham and Buy Buy Baby because it's new and fun. And they take competitor coupons, Bed Bath and Beyond coupons and they match competitor prices. Which I think Target does too. I think I registered for entirely way too much, but Ben and I are hilariously clueless! We did pick out our favorites though and had a ball!
Doing his room in khaki, blue and green. Picked out a comforter set at Buy Buy Baby that's cutest-it's all khaki and has jungle animal embroidered into it. I talked to a few of my artsy talented friends and fam to help with some artwork for the walls. Thinking about the jungle theme and incorporating those three colors into it instead of the norm. Very suttle and sweet, I like it!
Lucas is moving around like crazy these days, I can even see him through my clothes sometimes-very faintly, but he let's me know he's there! Ben has felt him and seen it too. So wonderful!
My next appointment is on the 24th this month...glucose testing. Yummy!
I will post some more pics soon. I have some on my camera but haven't downloaded them yet. Just call me Stretch Armstrong-that's how I feel these days!
Love!!

feet, heart, skin, emotion...
Ok, no-I wish I were talking my little Lucas, but I'm talking about myself...
My feet are swelling on the daily now, not too bad, but it's little funny looking, talked to my sister Brooke about hers (a week behind me) and hers are bigger than mine, so can't complain too much there. But it does look funny especially when Traci tells me that I have nubby feet that looks like it's only half of a normal foot so when they swell, it looks extremely wierd.
My heart...well, my heartburn. This a daily thing now too, and Tums are my best friend. I love spicy food but my esophagus would have to disagree.
My skin is glowing.....hahahah! NOT!! It's actually broken out with urticaria at the moment, a skin rash almost like small welts. It's not that bad but they itch like crazy!
Emotional is the word of the 10 months I believe. Before I even thought I might be pregnant, Ben told me that I was being a little on the "not so nice side" so that's when it all fell into place. I've always been the type to try to be patient, justify situtations, and give second chances....HA! I've been leaving that up to Jesus lately. I try so hard, but I swear there are times when you can see steam coming out of my ears. Patience hasn't been in my vocabulary for quite some time now. Ask Ben about it. But don't believe everything you hear from him. hahahah!! To make myself feel better I just tell him that people became a lot more rude in January.
