Eating in public

I normally have no problem eating a snack or meal in public. But recently I feel like everyone looks at me when I walk around eating something. Case in point - I went to Target last week, had a coupon for $1 off at the snack bar. Most of you know I can not pass up a bargain, so I got a hot pretzel and drink. (Only cost me $1).

As I walk around the store, I can feel everyone looking at me while I eat. Now, if I did not have this protruding belly, no one would look twice at the fact that I had a snack. But one women actually voiced what everyone else was thinking. She said 'We know why you're eating that! When are you due?' I know she meant well, but I was eating the pretzel because it was lunch time and I had a coupon....not because I am prego and stuff my face at any chance I get.

So, to all of you who are out in public and see a prego eating....don't stare, and don't think she eats all the time. Just tell yourself 'she had a coupon' and keep on shopping.

He's growing

I went for my weekly Dr. appointment on Tuesday and he was very impressed. I only gained 0.8 lbs over the Thanksgiving holiday. (Not sure how I did that because I felt like I ate a lot more and my mother even commented, 'You look bigger now then when I first got here'.

I had an ultrasound to measure the baby and found out two things.

1. He has a lot of hair. The technician kept commenting on it and showed us the white dots on the screen around his head.... and she does these every day, so it must be a lot of hair for her to keep saying things. (And no, I have not had a lot of heart burn) He is going to have my thick head-o-hair.

2. He has grown since the last measurement 4 weeks ago. He was about 3.2 lbs then and measuring right on schedule. This time he measured a little more than 5 lbs and he is at the 36.5 weeks size. (How they can type in things to this ultrasound machine and it tells you how many weeks you are is beyond me and a bit fishy...but who am I to say anything). So...it's great that he is growing, but when you are laying there and you hear the technician say 'He's measuring Big'...it kinda gets you worried. I am only at 35 weeks, which means he is 1.5 weeks bigger than most 35 weekers. oh well....we'll see how much he's grown in two more weeks.

I have a lot of thanksgiving pictures I'll try post later this week to show you all the fun we had with our family in town.

Bobs new toy

We bought a pressure washer to clean the siding of our house.

Bob set it up for me one day so I could wash the siding while he stained the deck. He left me a message...isn't he cute?



Yikes..I know it's super dirty, and our poor neighbors had to look at this way to long, but when you're not home during the day light, and you don't walk around your house that often, you don't realize how bad it's getting. Its much better now...except for the really tall stuff. Need to borrow high ladder from our neighbors to finish it up. (No...i will not be on the ladder, Bob will be doing it)

We'll be washing the cars with Bob's new toy tomorrow.

My favorite game!

Bob took Monday off and we went to Tallahassee to shop. Here's a picture of all the goodies!

Crock pot

Memory disk
6 Maternity shirts....(I know I am almost there, but they were all single digits)

Two pair of cute shoes for me
Nike Basketball shoes for Bob
Wii Game for Thanksgiving (Smooth Moves if anyone is wondering)
Comfy pants for hanging around the house (Which is what I will be doing!!!)

Green Computer

I don't know when it happened, but when did 'they' change it from Trash Bin to Recycle bin on your computer desk top? I mean...come on......when you put a file in there you don't recycle it. You get rid of it. But of course the green thing to say is Recycle.

Bet you never really thought about it, huh?

Update on that growing belly....
