belly shot - almost 26 weeks

well..here it is... i feel like a bowling ball! LOL

Desperately seeking ... ME!

HELP!

Im in search of …. ME!

Somewhere out there is the woman I have grown to love in the last few years. She’s been taken hostage by an alien life form inside her. This life form that has basically taken control of every aspect of her life... Eating, sleeping, and even peeing! She’s also taken the liberty of being overly critical, nit picky, a constant backseat driver, and just a plain ole’ bitch ALL the time (mostly about the peeing ALL NIGHT LONG thing).

Her husband is desperately seeking solitude from the nagging...

...the constant nagging...

...the never ending nagging...

....you can see it in his eyes.

The "MY GOD WHAT THE HECK HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU WOMAN" look.

But alas, he holds his tongue, smiles and mumbles "how much longer do we have of this?".

But she cant help it... the alien life form inside her has control over her every thought and action...She can't even drive without getting angry at the slow driver in the left lane or the van three cars ahead changing lanes without even signaling... She hates them ALL I tell ya! Every single darn one of them... And she’s out with a vengeance to tell it like it is!!

So beware... somewhere out there is the REAL me and she WILL return! Someday! Somehow!

Hopefully!

Her (or Him if you really want to be fair)

As i began to write my a new blog post, i realized all i was doing was bitching and moaning about all the symptoms I have been having over the last week or so and how they are gradually getting worse.

UGH...

After considering this for a while, I realized there was something much more interesting to talk about.

My baby and the miracle of life.

I have been following the overall development of my child and it is just so amazing.

How does a bunch of cells know to develop into a complex human being....

How does it know to form a heart or eyes or ears...or fingernails...

Here I am at my 5th week and my baby is merely the size of a seasame seed and already she (cause yes - its a girl!! I swear it!) has a two chamber heart and a tube that will later form the spinal cord. By the time I go for my ultrasound in two weeks, Little Baby will have a heart beat.

If I am really blessed there will be more than one heart beat (and I mean that half sarcastically). Though, even with the medication i was taking, it is somewhat rare for twins.

I am so thankful for this blessing we have been given.
