Comparison belly shots

I am not completely insane (prove it!)

Here is a picture of my at 10, 12 and 15 weeks. Talk about a growth spurt between 10 and 12 weeks.


The scarry thing is that I didn't have a belly before getting pregnant and I grew so fast.

Labor play list

I've been hearing a lot about women who creat a play list during labor. I don't know if this is to help relax them or they want their babys to be born into certin types of music.

Jay thinks it's a great idea, well kind of.

He wants the playlist to be Salt and Pepa's Push it.

I thought he was joking at first but OMG he's serious (I think).

First of all yes you are thinking of the right lyrics

Second, I swear on everything that is holy if he does this I'm going divorce him right then and there and I doubt that there is a single attorney or judge that wouldn't side with me. I'd do this right after I stopped laughing; which might take me a while. He should also be glad that I fully indend to get drugs so I won't be able to move for a while and he'd have a decent head start.

The lyrics for your viewing pleasure...
Ah, push it


Oooh, baby, baby

Baby, baby

Oooh, baby, baby

Baby, baby


Get up on this!


Ow! Baby!

Salt and Pepa's here!


[Now wait a minute, y'all

This dance ain't for everybody

Only the sexy people

So all you fly mothers, get on out there and dance

Dance, I said!]


Salt and Pepa's here, and we're in effect

Want you to push it, babe

Coolin' by day then at night working up a sweat

C'mon girls, let's go show the guys that we know

How to become number one in a hot party show

Now push it


Ah, push it - push it good

Ah, push it - push it real good

Ah, push it - push it good

Ah, push it - p-push it real good


Hey! Ow!

Push it good!


Oooh, baby, baby

Baby, baby

Oooh, baby, baby

Baby, baby


Yo, yo, yo, yo, baby-pop

Yeah, you come here, gimme a kiss

Better make it fast or else I'm gonna get pissed

Can't you hear the music's pumpin' hard like I wish you would?

Now push it


Push it good

P-push it real good


Ah, push it

Get up on this!


Boy, you really got me going

You got me so I don't know what I'm doing


Ah, push it

15 week belly shot

Yes, that's right I'm HUGE. I'm convincing myself that I'm super bloated since this was taken at night. I'm am going to need a fork lift in a few months to carry this baby around. I'm not a small woman by any means either so you can imagine my shock when I saw this picture.

This baby is obviously going to take after my side of the family and be HUGE(like it's mom). I can only imagine what this baby is going to do to me. Payback my friends, payback....this is also why the kid was flicking me off in the sonogram picture.

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: I started going to bed early however I started waking up in the middle of the night for no reason. It sucks.

Best moment this week: Being able to spend time with friends and enjoying chicken at the BBQ. O chicken how I've missed you! Unexpected jewlery from friends and Jay buying more to complete the set.

Movement: Still to early.
