Ooooh yeah...

Just when you thought being pregnant couldn't get any more attractive, along came The maternity belt!

(aww, give me a break... at least get a cute model wearing one!)

(DO NOT EVEN mention the similiarity in our hairstyles/color/skin color... I will kill you!)

That's right friends, stalkers, and frenemies who read my blog for some unknown reason, I have purchased my own maternity support belt! It cost me dearly (so not in the budget right now; whatever) but I couldn't stand the pain anymore. I'm not sure if this baby is in a different position from Nicholas, or whether it is common for a second pregnancy, but my belly has been literally aching as it grows. The sensation is akin to having your skin stretched daily to its limits, as if a small person were rapidly growing inside my stomach ....(wait a second...)



Well, at least if I ever work at a Walmart in the pallet zones I wont have to take the cost of a support belt out of my paychecks........

No pictures on this one... sorry. Want to know how huge I am? Take me before, then hide a basketball under my shirt... And make my rear end bigger. Got a visual? Good, that's me right now. Remember, I have brown hair with bangs too.

This period of time is lovingly termed "the calm before the storm". I occupy my time with mondane internet window shopping and trips to the park while waiting for the baby to grow and for it to become august when we can move. Fortunately time has been fairly kind to us, by passing a bit more quickly. Nicholas keeps me as busy as ever running around getting into things and climbing on tables, chairs, etc. I'm beginning to reach the point of discomfort where bending over to pick up toys for the zillionth time sends me to the couch for an hour.

Jared's been working some serious OT (that's "Over-Time", for all you ignoramuses), and then returning home only to ignore me for Kobe Bryant, his first love. True, he was around before I was, but still, we do have a child together after all. Oh well, when Sims 3 gets here next week I'll return the favor...

That's it for now, folks. We'll see if I can't muster up enough energy to take a photo next week... No promises though!

Biker Dudes and Big Babies Part 2

Our boy is turning into a real man's man. He is totally crazy over motorcycles, tools, the outdoors and getting dirty. Grandpa will rev the engine on the bike, Nicholas' absolute favorite. He literally wakes up making revving noises.

In other news, at our baby appointment I measured big (surprise, surprise). Due to unusual circumstances, we don't have a really clear picture of our baby's due date, but this new measurement could mean he is really due more toward the beginning of august, which is awesome. I do feel quite a bit bigger in the belly, and he has been very active for a while too, making us think he's about two weeks ahead of schedule. But who knows! At least this has got my doctor listening to me about inductions if he looks big later on.

And....

Despite all our predictions, we found out we will be adding another boy to our family this august.

And I'm sorry this is short, but I have some returns to do....

Sorry I can't come to the phone right now, I'm eating.

Are you hungry, too?

I had better be careful or else.... I can see my future now-
