i am bad

i know it's been like a week since i have posted. the hub & i went to visit our friends with their 3 week old over the weekend. it was awesome- she is very sweet with the cutest big cheeks & lips! seeing the hub holding her & interacting (well- as much as you can really interact with a 3 week old!) was heartwarming- as cheesy as that sounds. it has made it all a little more real for him & he keeps talking about 'my daughter'. he didn't however- change any diapers. he was too nervous to mess it up! i told him he will have to do it with caiden- there's no avoiding it. he claims he would rather learn on his own kid than mess someone else's up... he's stubborn so there is no arguing about how you could possibly mess up a diapering session with 3 other adults watching you do it!

i need to take my 24 week pic still. my best friend was supposed to come over this week to have a maternity/couple photo shoot, but her grandmother died so we are postponed. i have been very tired & lazy but i will attempt a ghetto cell phone pic at least today & post it tonight. i feel like the bump has gotten huge! we're both feeling her more & more. i call her my kung-fu monkey. (monkey because i am sure she will be hairy like her mom & dad)

i know i harp about my weight- especially those last two posts. believe me- i am fine with gaining 8 pounds in a month if that's what my body needs to do. it isn't even so much the weight (although honestly there is a former fat girl in here that gets heard every now & then) it's the fact that i just knew i hadn't gained that much since the scale jumped overnight. i have a control issue with being right. i don't need to be right all the time or anything- but when i know i am right i can not let it go! and since the hub gets tired of hearing it- it comes out here! i also know that i have had a very small weight gain & somehow i don't want to feel like i am rubbing it in or anything irl. so unfortunately- it sounds like i am neurotic about it here. which is fair in a way- i am! from now on though- since there's only 15 weeks left (holy crap!) i will only update for record, no more neurosis! (okay- maybe one or two, i can't go cold turkey!)


and yes- nancy- there's another paragraph about it. but it's the last one. ;o) i'll update later with a photo to literally overshadow it with my ginormous belly!

I remember freaking out about my weight gain especially once I reached 3rd tri. I was gaining like a pound or more every week. In the end it turned out to be mostly water and went away quickly. So definitely don't worry. As long as you are eating well and not overindulging you'll be just fine.
