18 weeks and 4 days

Today is the big day! Boy....or Girl?? Lame of me to make a 4pm appointment though. I tell ya! Been waiting for months and then I make the last appt of the day so I just sit here and wait...and wait...all day long! What was I thinking? I should have been there at sun up ready to show me that baby! I told the baby this morning to spread those legs! We need to see your stuff. Today is not the day to be bashful...mama needs to know what you are! I'm trying to convince Brent to participate in a fun way of telling my family back home what the gender is...so far he just says (in a very monotone voice) "sure." I'm trying to capture memories here and have a little fun and he says "sure." Well he also knows we'll do it regardless of "sure." As Bill Engvall says "she wins because she has boobs!" He's so smart!!

So I started reading Jenny Mcarthy's Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and let me tell you it's hilarious! I find myself on the couch cracking up thinking..."yup! That's exactly how it is". Every pregnant woman that needs a break from the "don't eat this or do that" should read this light hearted...yet vulgar...book.

This morning I put on my new yellow maternity shirt that I love so much....I looked like Big Bird! Brent thought it looked nice...yeah for a big yellow bird. So I changed. Twice. It's hard trying to wear your normal clothes for as long as you possibly can and then realize that shirt is a lot shorter on you now than it usually is. I mean my stomach now sticks out farther than my boobs. This is something I vowed never to come to. Granted there's a baby in there...yeah I know.

Belly Shot for the week:I'll be sure to post the little something we want to do to tell everyone the gender. Stay tuned...
