3D Pics of the Boy

Thanks to my sister, who is an OB/GYN, and her willing U/S tech (who stayed late for me) I got a 3D ultrasound today, for free! Insurance doesn't pay for these things and they are expensive. They are purely for entertainment purposes. Keep in mind the picture tends to look a little distorted, as you can see he has a different nose in each picture. These are the best three that didn't look alien-ish and I think he looks pretty cute. His chubby cheeks and adorable chin in the second picture remind me of my sister's boy Ben. As I was saying about the distortion... in the last picture you can see his brain.

I think I'm 28 weeks, maybe 29... And a Big Belly Button

I haven't been very good about documenting milestones during my pregnancy. I can't even remember how many weeks I am. But that doesn't mean I'm not really excited about this little boy! I'm just not sentimental enough to write down every detail, although I know I'll probably regret it some day. I have, however, reached a milestone worthy of documentation: my belly button popped. Yep, it sticks right out. Especially after dinner and when I stretch. Last week at my doctors visit I was told I needed to take it easy with the eating. I have never really been told that before. It kind of surprised me, but she's right. I gained nearly 15 pounds in 2 months. I think there might have been an error with the scale or I was just weighing really heavy that day because I'm down 4 pounds. I have been eating vegetables like crazy and staying away from sweets as much as possible. I also reached another milestone: up-sized in underwear. I have been meaning to go get some for awhile but it was my blogger friend who unknowingly motivated me. I love new underwear. Have you heard of "cheeky" before? They are the new style of underwear at VS. I thought they would be perfect for me; being "cheeky" surely meant they were for people who were a little more cheeky than usual... no. They SHOW more cheek! If I wanted to show more cheek I would just keep wearing the ones I have that I've nearly outgrown. I went for the ones they only display in the back half of the store; there is NOTHING wrong with comfortable coverage when you are pregnant! Or any time for that matter.

Baby's Blanket

Here's pictures of the almost finished baby blanket for the nursery. I just got it back today. I paid someone to top stitch it. That's when I found out I had to do the edging by HAND. My finger tips are killing me, 2 hours later. I still have about 1/8 of the edge to do before I can go to bed. I lost the cable for my good camera again, so the pictures are horrible.
