hi

I've been so bad at writing recently.  I haven't been posting here or on the message boards.  I've been bad at commenting, and I haven't been responding to emails.  I don't know what it is!  I have been reading and keeping up with all of you, though.  I'm going to try to be better.

I'm 22 weeks 3 days now!  I still don't feel like I am showing much, but I saw a video B took  from the weekend and was surprised.  To me, though, I think I just look fat again most of the time.  I'm feeling baby move often, which startles me and I love.

We just got back from a fun weekend camping by the beach.  The weather was beautiful with temperatures being in the mid 70's during the day and pretty reasonable at night.  We put an air mattress in our tent, so sleeping was nice and comfy.  The shower was so nice when I got home!

In baby news, I think we have a name!  Right now, the thought is that we will go with Juliet Elyse.  It may change, but we both really like it.  I still really want to get stuff done with the nursery, but it is hard as we've been pretty busy on the weekends.  B is refusing to paint the room, out of stubbornness.  We painted the whole house when we moved in 3 years ago, and he thinks that is sufficient.  I'd prefer for the walls not to be gray though!  I want to go with a light sage green.  We are doing purple bedding for the little miss and I think green can last a long time and goes with any other colors that she likes later.  I'd like to get stuff done in the room while I'm not too uncomfortable.

Speaking of uncomfortable, holy heartburn batman!  I am really glad to have preemptively purchased tums.  They were great to be able to pull out when it started.  Other than that, nothing to report!

    Good to hear from you! Happy you had a good camping trip. You are tougher than I, camping never crossed my mind while preggo =) Have fun getting the nursery set up, I did that in 2T and it was so exciting to put more touches on it as time went on. Sorry about the HB, at least you're getting your calcium from the tums ;-)

    I love Juliet Elyse!! SO pretty and feminine!!

    Too funny about B being stubborn about painting the nursery, hehe.

    And sorry about the heartburn! It hit me at 24 weeks, so pretty close. Once I changed my diet a little bit it was a lot better though. Hopefully you'll find something that works for you or it just plain goes away!!

    Names are so much fun. We are just starting iui cycle #2 and chose girl and by names this weekend. It makes it all feel so real and hopeful!

    Hey - I've been thinking about your mommy pig and those cute little babes - will they let you hold them yet? I'd love to see some more picture of them - i"ll bet they grow big real fast!

    Also, I wrote my pen and paper challenge post a while back, but got grumpy and anti-social for a while afterwards. I am just now following thru on asking for contact info of my favorite bloggers so that I can send you a little something, if you are comfortable sharing you can email me direct at foxypopcorn@gmai.com.

    Take care!
    xoxo - Foxy

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
