Whoa-ohh, We're Halfway There!

Long time, no update-- what else is new, really...

I'm right between 19 and 20 weeks along which makes me at the halfway point. That is just so hard to fathom! The baby's size is between that of a mango and a cantaloupe. Just nuts right?

I can now officially state that I feel the baby bouncin' around from time to time. That is just totally weird too. My bladder is already working overtime and the lil' kicks to it aren't helping matters!

Besides the constant bathroom trips, getting tired early, and heartburn, I have to say I'm feeling pretty good. I guess I should enjoy these little nuisances while they last!

Last night we finally put our beautiful stroller together the way it will be for the baby. I say 'finally' as if the baby will be here tomorrow or something, lol. Ah well. It's just exciting stuff.

Here's a picture of my belly and a picture of what our stroller looks like right now - except ours is black with light gray detailing.

Enjoy :-)

Not Much to Say

I'm finally starting to look like I'm pregnant instead of just chubbier :-)

I am currently 17 weeks along, closer to 18 weeks! I will have to post a belly pic on here eventually I guess...

Tomorrow I am visiting my old cronies at HBO. It's always a little weird to go back, but I just love meeting up with my girl Nicole and having lunch at our fav Chinese buffet place. Mmm mmm good! I hope they have my dumplings tomorrow!

Then, tomorrow night Jay and I are heading down the shore for a little getaway. Our friends Mike & Tammy will be joining from Mon-Wed as well. That should be cool. I'm really looking forward to some quality beach time, assuming there are no evil biting flies this time!! There were last week when I went with my mom...

Sorry about being a Debbie-downer in my last post. I think there are just some people, even if you didn't know them personally, whose death can really have an impact on you. With Heath, I think it's a culmination of things. We were very close in age, his death was untimely and accidental, and he just seemed like a genuine, sweet person. For now, he lives on through his daughter, who looks just like him. In one of his last interviews, he said this about having her:

“You’re forced into, kind of, respecting yourself more,” he said. “You learn more about yourself through your child, I guess. I think you also look at death differently. It’s like a Catch-22: I feel good about dying now because I feel like I’m alive in her, you know, but at the same hand, you don’t want to die because you want to be around for the rest of her life.”
