19 plus 2

Much like how you count the miles when you are a runner... "at mile 1 I did this, at mile 10 I saw that"...and so on... you just don't say "at the first mile... or at the 1oth mile"... you just don't... well, when it comes to babies... it's how we moms-to-be keep track of exactly how pregnant we are.  19 plus 2 means 19 weeks 2 days.  There is never a 19 plus 7, because 19 plus 7 is really 20.  Get it?

Anywho.... I had my 19+2 ultrasound on Monday and am happy to report that the baby is STILL A BOY.  Yes, loud and clear we saw it... and there is no doubt that he is a he, especially since we caught him touching himself.  I guess, in a way, that is all the verification we need.  Ha. 

All things statistically are in check.  Although I am 19+2, he was measuring more like 19+6... so, my theory that he will be born 3 months old still holds true.  If he was truly 19+6 on Monday, that would mean his due date is January 27th... let's not forget that originally his due date was February 6th.  What in the hell am I eating that is making him grow so fast?  Heck if I know...  it's probably all of the crack I smoke.  

SO here are some pics from the photo shoot... 

from left to right, top to bottom we have:

profile; thumbs up;

profile with a foot in the air; profile with arms and legs;

legs stretched out; boy junk;

curled up in a ball, hiding from us; a pair of feet (awww....) that happen to be 1 inch in length at this point.

We will start booking photo shoots as early as February first... so book early, the slots are filling up fast... 

more pics from CE...

OK... I tried to create a fancy slideshow....but I can't spend more time on it while at work... so just go check out this link...

Well...  the long awaited Creative Escape '08 has come and gone.  I can't believe it's over already.  It's so sad.  I think I have post-CE depression.  Focusing on the GOOD... it was, once again, an AWESOME event!!!  Here is a video of the whooooole event.... 

You can find me at 11:38...
Creative Escape 2008 Photo Slideshow from Bazzill Basics Paper on Vimeo.

Basically a weekend filled with some of my favorite things... friends, a great hotel and, hello?  ARTS and CRAFTS!!!!  What else can I say?  

Arizona was as hot as Haiti's this time around (it always is, isn't it?) and my pregnant feet were NOT happy with the amount of time I spent walking, standing and sitting and swelled up to SCARY proportions... OMG... I was scared.  They looked like meatloaves at the end of tree trunks (my legs swelled up too).  Once I got back to Cali, things simmered down... so it must've just been the heat or over-use.  I also brought home a nice little COLD.  Ummm... yes, I know I have sounded like I have had a cold for the last 5 months,  so my sniffles and congestion seemed like nothing new (to the untrained professional) but I felt like POO.  I even skipped the Saturday night festivities for BED.  As Murphy's law would have it, I won a huge raffle prize.  Luckily I have honest friends and they brought it to me.  Sweet.  I also won two other prizes during the event, so this was definitely my lucky year!

Here's another pic of Mabelle and me caught in the act of SHOPPING.... don't tell my husband!  Ha!

 

During this trip we also were lucky enough to stop at Sprinkles for some DE-lish cakes.  Mmmmm... mmmm.  If you EVER get the chance... please indulge.  They are SO worth it!!!
I'll be sure to post more pics once I download them... I am BARELY recovering enough to blog right now.
