We had our 4D ultrasound today. It was the coolest thing! He was snuggled up against up my placenta and really didn't want to show his face. Luckily at the very end he decided to move around and we got some good pictures. He was practicing breathing movements and kept moving his mouth.

I haven't posted any belly pictures before. I generally save them for my Myspace page, but I'm bored and I thought I'd share them with you guys. There's quite a few, but they are work safe.

1. People trying the door handle on the bathroom, realize it's locked, and then knock to see if anyone is in there. YES I'M 5 MONTHS PREGNANT AND I'M GOING TO TAKE MY SWEET ASS TIME IN HERE. Knocking won't get you in any faster. Right now this kid is doing jumping jacks on my bladder. I have to double void. It sucks. It takes a little extra ( Read more... )

I love music. I love how when I listen to certain songs, memories flood into my head like looking at pictures in an album. Sometimes these waves of nostalgia are nice, others make my stomach feel queasy, and still others make me miss a time and place when things were more simple. There are two songs in particular that remind me of my ex-husband ( Read more... )
