And the Baby Grows...

Yes, I am joining the blogging bandwagon. I had great intentions of doing it before Renae, and even had my site up, I just hadn't posted anything...but alas, Renae got hers out first, so now I look like I'm a copy-cat. Oh well...You'll have to put up with my postings as well :)

There's really no hiding now, that I am carrying a giant. I have thoroughly enjoyed being pregnant...most of the time :) The 3 am bathroom trips leave much to be desired, but oh well. After a week of watching every calorie that I eat, and obsessing about gaining 18 pounds in 2 months, I have decided to chuck it all and just go back to enjoying the pregnancy. Now don't worry, I am trying to be reasonable as I make food choices, but I was starting to only think about food, and had quit thinking and praying for my baby...little Eli. (Yup, pretty sure that's his name, unless he comes out lookin' like a Placido or Carlos...or some other Tiger) He has been moving around so much lately! He seems like he rarely takes a break-he must have his father's energy. Fortunately, little keeps me from falling asleep at night, so he can move as much as he wants, I'll still go to sleep at night. We have our next Dr. appointment a week from Friday, so hopefully all is still well.

The last couple of days he has made me quite tired, and a little sick...I went to the dentist, and the poor hygenist had to stand and clean my teeth while I sat up, because I felt like I was going to be sick. She was pretty nice about it. Apparently I can no longer lay on my back without feeling quite sick. Yesterday he was treated to an Iced Marble Mocha from Seatle's Best Coffee...(decaf, of course) BOY DOES HE LIKE SUGAR!! I thought he was going to jump right out of me and do a dance on the table :) Edgar assures me Eli won't like junk food...I beg to differ...The other thing he seems to enjoy is music. He moves quite a bit when I am in worship team (perhaps because I stand right in front of the drums...) Hopefully he will be a music fan. He did, however sleep right through a recent Tigers game we went to...we're gonna have to work on that...

I do hope to get some video of my stomach moving around...you can see him when he kicks. It's pretty funny. It is a little hard to catch, though, so I might have to wait a few weeks.

Anyway, hopefully this will help keep you updated with our family. So here goes...my first post to my blog! YAHOO!
