"She's a (pregnant) lady, and ladies shouldn't be messed with"

If anyone has seen my Facebook today, you know I'm having a wonderful, idiot-free day. I hope you all caught the sarcasam.  This morning, I was at Old Navy, minding my own buisness, trying to find me clothes in general and Ryan some jeans.  I'd already picked myself out some things and was carrying them around the store with me.  I had them folded across my arm and the band was in plain view - this is an important detail to the story.  I was standing in front of the men's jeans trying to find some and this sales clerk walks up to me, takes my arm, and says "Aww! Are you pregnant?"  Ok, really? I just stared at her in shock and disbelief.  After a few seconds I smiled and told her that yes, I was indeed pregnant and looked back at the jeans, hoping against my better judgement, that the conversation was now over.  As any pregnant woman knows, the conversation didn't end there.  It never does.  The sales clerk then asked me how far along I was and what my due date was.  I told her and looked back at the jeans. She just stood there looking at me then asked me who my doctor was.  And let's not forget the list of people she felt the need to give me who had birthdays/anniversarys on my due date.  Lady, I DO NOT CARE.  It's none of your buisness who my doctor is. And it's certainly not a pillow I have stuffed under my shirt. 

Now, of course I don't mind discussing my pregnancy with people I know.  I'm a pretty open book, but if I don't know you then there is absolutely no reason why your hand should be any where near my baby, you should be asking me about my medical chart, and who YOU know who thinks May 31st is significant.

How far along?  30 weeks
Total weight gain/loss? I've gained 16 pounds as of my last doctor visit
Maternity clothes?  I don't have that many (which is starting to become a problem!) so I'm trying to wear as many of my clothes as I can!  I'm down to Soffees, Running shorts, and t-shirts (notice a pattern?)
Stretch marks? Still none.  I'm VERY thankful!
Sleep? I've found that the most comfortable place to sleep is the couch - which I hate!

Food cravings?  FRESH FRUIT!!!
Gender? Girl
Labor signs? None
Belly button in/out? It's starting to pop out..
What I miss: Being able to roll over in bed!!

Our First Baby Shower

Last Saturday we had our first baby shower.  It was a joint shower with my cousin, Kelly.  She is 2 weeks ahead of me - with a little girl also!  The whole family is excited for the addition of 2 new little girls very soon!

Hannah got some great gifts!  We got our travel system, bathtub & a few washcloths, some monogrammed burp cloths, a few cute outfits, and a HOT PINK halloween trick-or-treating pumpkin (Coral was VERY proud of her gift to Hannah!) - just to name a few!!  We're very thankful for all the gifts and can't wait until Hannah gets here so we can use them!!!

My mom & I BOTH forgot our cameras so the pictures I have are from Kelly.  I'm so thankful someone thought to bring a camera!!

My mom & me



My cousin, Kelly, and me. I am 28 weeks, She is 30!



Our travel system from my uncle & grandma.  My uncle doesn't understand why we need a nursery if we have this. :)

I was so excited about this baby shower and felt so loved by all the family that was there!  I can't wait for my next shower - also a family shower on April 2nd!

Drum roll please.....









We have to fix the drawer that's on the floor still.



Ryan is getting a rocking chair from his grandma that will go here.



It's hard to tell in the pictures so here's a close up picture of our painted border.
