Bumpity bump bump

Between weeks 14 and 15, my "maybe bump" has transformed into a real bump. Now that we're 16 weeks and one day, this kid's getting a little bit bigger...
 You'll be happy to hear that I've now begun taking "pregnant" shots of my belly. The tummy is still looking slighty abnormal and not-so-pregnant, but it's there. This shot was taken at week 15, the first day I discovered the rise of the overnight bump. (Yes, my face is really that chubby, pregnant or not.)


Okay, so I'm wearing black and my stomach isn't showing. I just can't get myself to show my stomach completely in this "in between" phase. It's so strange looking to me. Maybe by month 9 we'll get a real shot. :)

This picture was taken today. (Yes, I'm at work, YES, I've now moved onto sneakers every single day and YES, we have lime green walls in my office.)


I've also begun feeling lots of butterflies in my tummy (especially when I lay on my left side, which ironically, is the side I sleep on these days) and I'm almost sure this unfamiliar feeling is the baby. I'm anxious and excited about finally being able to feel this little baby kick. Although it's not quite a kicking feeling just yet, these butterflies are providing A LOT of excitement!

Reminder: March 16th we find out the sex of the baby (hopefully). So let us know what you think it's going to be and we'll see who gets it right! (Disclaimer: The only prize you will win are bragging rights for, well...being right.  And if you're anything like me, that's the best prize of all.)

God Bless,
Kat

    It's going to be a boy! I say that cause you can already tell you're pregnant this soon...! He's a natural leader. ;)

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
