Brownie Batter Anyone?

I think all pregnant women should indulge in a little brownie batter every now and then, don't you? I made brownies for a potluck tonight and I just couldn't resist that deliciously smooth, chocolaty batter! Now I have a headache though...do you think I overdosed?! Hee hee.

We have another doctor appointment next week. I'm looking forward to that and hope we get to hear the baby's heartbeat. My life before the baby was so focused on trying to get one. Now it's focused on trying to keep it! And, probably when I have it, I'll be focused on trying to survive. I'm excited for that life though.

So in other news...we had a great Easter and conference weekend. We went to Pleasant View to visit my family and also Greg's. Greg went with his dad to the Priesthood session and they both said how wonderful it was. My mom made a totally yummy brunch! I need to remember to post the recipe here. It's so easy and good and involves a crock pot, eggs, bacon, mushrooms, cheese...you get the idea. And do you get the idea that food is sort-of a focus of this pregnancy? It's weird because sometimes I think I'm hungry and other times I think it's all in my head, which I guess is what a craving is sort-of. It really is weird and I haven't yet figured which foods are easier on my stomach (well, really my bowels!) than others. I just go with whatever I have that sounds good, and basically healthy, at the moment. Plus a little dose of brownie batter every now and then!

    Sounds like my cravings with Dylan. Pregnancy really is an interesting ordeal, isn't it? I'm glad you had a good Easter! Ours was so weird being on vacation, but it's an Easter I'm sure we'll never forget. :)

Almost To the Home Stretch

Here I am at around 30 weeks or so. I can't remember exactly when Greg took these pictures. It's hard to believe that I only have six weeks and five days to go before this little buddy will make his entrance into the world. I'm excited and nervous. I'm doing really great still. I think, after talking to Sarah today, that I'm probably having some Braxton-Hicks contractions but didn't really realize it. I'll have to start paying closer attention. Gotta love Zantac! It's been helping with the heartburn. I pretty much waddle around a little these days. It's hard not to. I'm still sleeping well at night for the most part. I laugh at myself trying to turn over though! It's like a beached whale! Really. I have to like literally try to flip myself over without everything going, "Snap! Crackle! Pop!" The same thing happens when I've been sitting at my desk and get up to walk around. It's like all my joints want to just...

Can you see that baby bump?

Man! Full body shots are not at all my fave. I have to do a better pose next time where Greg's not looking up at me while laying on the couch. That's always been like my least favorite camera angle. But can you see that little belly showing? This is 17 and a half weeks. My waist is disappearing and it for sure seems like my already well-endowed bust line has expanded! I'm just trying to take it all in stride even though it's sort-of weird that your body isn't your own anymore in some ways. But I think it's totally awesome that my body is designed for this. Go women! Every day I really feel like it's a miracle that I'm even having a baby. That's such a cool blessing that I wondered if I'd have, and now it's happening, and it's really surreal at times, but totally awesome, too. Other than the fact that I've had a horrible sore throat (due to allergies) I feel great. (Well, still headaches here and there.) I'm not sure if ...

Half Way There

Wow! I can't believe it's been 20 weeks already. That's halfway, right? I have had a terrific pregnancy so far. I have some of the common "aches and pains" but have done really well. It's awesome. I will have to post another picture again soon, because this bump is getting harder and harder to hide. Sometimes I feel a little self-conscious about it in a way, but I think I need to embrace it more and not try to hold it in! (Not that I do or can anyway!) The best thing lately is feeling the baby move more and more and knowing that's what I'm feeling. I totally notice movement after eating, and also sometimes when I play the organ. I think it's just louder so the baby can hear it and reacts a little. It will be fun to see if that continues and let's all pray they get Greg's awesome singing voice! We went to a movie last night, and the baby was really moving during that. Probably because it's so loud in the theater. A week or so...
