4 Months From Today....!!!!

Our due date is exactly four months from today! (But who's counting right?)
Some odd things I've noticed about my pregnancy....
-You're actually pregnant for ten months. 40 weeks=10 months. I often wonder where nine months came from?
-My body temperature is through the roof and Jon isn't much a fan of cuddling at night cause I make him so hot.
-Sometimes it literally feels like this baby is running, jumping, somersaults, acrobatics, you name it. The "quickening" phase, or "light flutters" only lasted about a week. Even Jon has been able to feel her bouncing off the walls for a couple weeks now.
-I was actually excited for cravings after going through morning sickness. The idea of enjoying food again sounded wonderful. Cravings haven't been so strong, which has been disappointing. But I definitely do enjoy food now.
-I already feel like my stomach is stretched to its limit and I get what I call "growing pains."
-Some of the books I've read say the mood swings calm down in the 2nd trimester, but I think mine just started in the 2nd. (maybe that is a question for Jon though). I watched Notebook a couple weeks ago and cried the entire two hours!
Needless to say, pregnancy has been a crazy experience. I think it will go better the 2nd time around, when it isn't all so new!

22 Weeks

I am slow posting this. We took this picture almost a week ago. It's our first picture of my "bump." I swear it is already bigger but it always looks huge to me, so who knows.

Excuse Me?!

I have to tell this story because even though it WAS quite offensive, I realize it was really funny too. So I had court today for one of my cases and we were waiting out in the lobby to go into the court room. Mind you, we are sitting in the lobby with about six or seven other people. So my client, who is not sitting anywhere close to me and who talks loud anyway, asks me "so when are you going to have kids?" I responded with, "in May." He said "May? So, you're pregnant?" I said "yes." He proceeded to tell me that he knew I was but he wanted to be polite so he asked in a round about way. But the kicker is that then he started to tell me that he could tell I was pregnant because I have been gaining weight here, here and here. (That is him pointing to his butt, thighs, and stomach!!!!) All I could do was shake my head. I mean, who doesn't love being told their gaining weight right?! The worst part is that I really don't look pregnant. I really do just look like I'm gaining a little weight. Geez, what do you do?

Jon and I made 2009 collage calendars for our parents for Christmas. They took a lot of work! But we were really pleased with the result in the end. I just wanted to share these two because they were my favorite from each calendar. The top is from the Purdy calendar and the bottom is from the Brady calendar.

Happy Anniversary

Jon and I were married one year ago...a couple weeks ago. It's kind of a crazy time of year and I'm beginning to see why it may have been a good idea to wait until Spring. But then again, that would have meant more waiting and obviously, we like to be quick about things. Our anniversary was great. We were thinking of going snow shoeing but I was sick :( So we settled on Pf Changs and a movie. Jon also got me a very sweet pink jazz jersey. He's turned me into a serious Jazz fan. When I'm awake for the whole game, I really enjoy watching them! We have both (maybe I should speak for myself but I think Jon agrees) that we love being married and are more in love today than we were a year ago. I have the sweetest sexiest husband in the world, so what's not to love?!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JON

Today, almost exactly 26 years ago Jonathan David Brady was born. And now he is absolutely the most amazing husband in the whole world and he'll be an awesome dad too. I'll put some pics up later but I just wanted to wish my hubby a very happy birthday!
