Will Cry Over Cookies

My husband comes home last night and tells me that his coworker offered him a box of Thin Mints. He said that he didn't really need or want them.

I started to get teary and upset over the fact that he turned down one of my favorite cookies. I could not honestly fathom how he could turn down such refreshing chocolately goodeness.

He finished his story by telling the person that he would take them though since I would kill him if he turned them down.

How sad is it to cry over cookies?

I See You

Yesterday I saw my son's face. He was being difficult so it wasn't for long but I could see the eyes, nose and mouth. It was amazing to see it for the first time. He even looked a little angry since the technician had been trying to get the measurements she needed. It was hurting me since she was having to press so hard so I imagine it hurt him too.

His lips looked larger than either mine or my husband's but he also looked like he makes the same mean face that I do. At least we know who he takes after = ) I love him so much!

More Dreams

I had another dream last night about the baby. Well, it wasn't the baby so much as it was another baby. For some reason, I gave birth and put the baby in a trailer (I live in NYC remember) and left it alone all night. When I went to go get it the next day it wasn't my baby. It was a Hispanic baby girl. My husband didn't seem worried and said someone probably got mixed up and took our baby by mistake. So, I didn't worry either.

First, why did I leave my baby alone all night in another building? Second, why weren't we more concerned that someone took our baby?

I am tired of dreaming. I just want to sleep through the night for once without getting up to pee at least 2 times. Stop laughing, I know I won't get to sleep again for another 18 - 20 years even after I'm not pregnant.

I have another doctor appointment tomorrow and the detailed ultrasound on Monday. I hope to get some great pictures and for them to confirm that its a boy. We have so many boy clothes from the showers that it better be a boy or else I hope the little girl likes blue!

In unrelated news, it was in the upper 60's yesterday and its supposed to snow 3-6 inches tomorrow. WTF? Just stay normal already. Geesh.

I'm A Model You Know What I Mean

To begin with, I was a little nervous about the maternity photo shoot last night. I've never let someone else, well other than a doctor, see me naked within and hour of meeting me (I usually require a few drinks first, kidding!). The photographer was great though. He was very professional and put me completely at ease. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at all shy but it really was okay. He took over 500 pictures with me wearing various shirts, draped fabric, and nothing at all. I saw a few of the photos on his camera and they looked great. I can't wait to see them all. I think that part of letting someone take these pictures of me is that I feel like my body isn't my own right now so I'm not as shy.

Also, did you know that America's Next Top Model is educational? I used a lot of the things I've learned from watching the show while at the shoot last night. I try to keep my hands natural, mouth not always hanging open, expression in the eyes, give plenty of movement etc. The photographer said I did a great job. Who knew that reality TV was useful?

I put a link to his website on the side bar. Please consider him if you are having maternity photos made. He also does kids pictures too. Enjoy!

Push Gift

For those of you not familiar with the concept, its a gift your husband gives you after the birth of your child. I am torn on this idea. First, I think its nice to get something since after all, you've done so much work and still have a lot in front of you. On the other hand, we are trying to save for a place so I'd rather my husband not spend a lot of money on me. I will be giving birth around the time of Mother's Day so I know he will get me a little something.

What's your opinion? Do you think its a must? And if so, what type of gift do you expect?

I have the maternity photography session tonight. I'm excited and nervous since I'll be nude in front of a stranger. He's a professional though so I'm sure he'll put me at ease. I'll post a picture up here at some point (cut out to just show the belly, so don't worry, I'm not showing you my boobs!).

Seven weeks to go!

Next Month !?!

Today begins March. When people ask "When are you due?" I can technically tell them "Next Month." Wow.

I have my 32 week appointment tomorrow morning. I'm hoping they tell me how the baby is measuring. I'm really curious to know if he is small or large at this point. I'm already in my 33 week but I figure being a few days late won't matter.

The shower was lots of fun. I was so happy to see my friends and family. One thing that I didn't expect though was that almost everyone bought baby clothes. I always buy stuff off of people's registry because that's what they need. Some people bought an item or two off the registry then bought clothes also which was very nice. I think my son has more clothes than my husband (he'll never beat me ha ha). I need to go through them to see exactly what sizes we have. Hopefully not everyone bought 0 -3 months which he will never get to use most likely. I could look at it like this, I won't have as much laundry to do since I'll have a ton of clothes for him.
