Pictures, stress and crawl spaces

I am posting some shots of me and the baby bump. That is a pretty polite term for it. The bump lasted for about two days—and then turned into a large mound. There is another girl in my office that is pregnant (well there are 3 others). However, one is only about 3 weeks ahead of me. I thought at first that it would be fun to have a co-worker that was going through some of the same things—but I find myself constantly thinking things like “she isn’t always wearing maternity clothes”, or “My stomach is bigger than hers”. I know- I need to grow up.
House update- this has turned into a mess. The deal is close to falling through. We should know by tomorrow what is going to happen. I will keep you posted. Let me say the last two days have been very, very stressful.
I have a doctor appointment tomorrow—I think it will be pretty routine. According to the internet, the baby is currently about the size of an apple! Side note here: the baby feels like a watermelon on my bladder. Then the next appointment is September 29th. Ben and I will go to that together because it is our ultrasound. We hope to find out the sex of the baby that day. Yea!
Ben is doing some last minute things around the house. We have an inspection tomorrow (he has to dig out a bigger crawl space under the 2nd bathroom. The previous inspector said it was too small to get into (hmmmm. It is not too small for me to get into).

    I love the baby bump!! Don't worry, I was always comparing myself to others. I always felt I was the one with the bigger baby bump too!! Good luck with the house...Keep the pictures coming

    I'm not a big comparer, but my children on the other hand...
    I usually have at least one friend who is pregnant at the same time as me. This time it was my friend Dorcas, who delivered in July. When she was about 8 months along and I was about 18 weeks my children were telling me how great she looked and one of them was amazed that I was almost the same size as her, although she was 4 months ahead of me. I let it go for awhile, but after she kept on and on, I finally said, "Yes, well, talk to me when she's on number 10!" (This was #5)
    Okay, maybe that was a little childish, too, but I had had enough! LOL!
    I will say that I've generally run a little larger than most of my friends, but my babies are usually larger, too. Not counting Wallace, who was a hoss as you know, my babies have always been a nice, plump, healthy size. They are always larger than my friends' babies. But I've also found that I don't worry about them as much either because they don't seem so "breakable." Maybe a bigger bump just means you're going to have a nice-sized, healthy 7 to 8 pound baby, which is ideal!

Rosaleen Grace McLernon is here!

Hi all, it's Ben.  I told Sunny I would never blog…so... Here are a few pictures of MY DAUGHTER! She is so perfect! I cannot believe she is here and I can hold her. Sunny is the best mommy ever and we are having so much fun and love with little Rosaleen. Now I know what it feels like. Parents always say they cannot describe how it feels. Well, I really can’t either. Words don’t express enough. Rosaleen is perfect, sweet, beautiful, HUNGRY (eats like a little barracuda), wonderful, great...I can go on! She will make you cry if you look at her face to long, just warning you. Sunny’s water broke at 12:30 a.m. on February 11. We had nothing ready to go. Sunny called her mom, while I packed everything in like 30 seconds. We weren’t expecting her to come and surprise us for Valentines Day. We finally got to the hospital at around 2 a.m. I watched the entire delivery and it was amazing. As soon as she was here, the midwife placed her on Sunny’s chest and we got her all to our se...

12 week ultrasound picture

Attached is the 12 week ultrasound picture that I mentioned in the previous post. You can see above the head is a hand and if you zoom in you can even see fingers. To the other side, up above the baby you see a little thing. That is a foot. In the ultrasound the baby was kicking her legs and moving-- put when the picture was taken, the leg was out of sight, so you just see the foot up top. But I promise- that is a little footsie. SO CUTE! In other news, my very sweet mother sent me a set of new maternity clothes today—AND I really need them. I had to wear a suit to work today for a meeting- and it was terrible. I had rubber bands and safety pins holding up my pants but it still wasn’t working. By the time the end of the day came I was so stressed and uncomfortable I couldn’t take it. What a perfectly timed surprise to find new clothes on my door step. Thanks Mom.

Lazy Summer (not)

Image
Sitting up in the back yard!  It has been a busy week here. Rosa has not been sleeping great.  Last night she fell asleep next to daddy with a hand full of his hair.  The car has been in the shop all week. They still can't seem to fix it right.  Rosaleen is almost a pro at rolling all over the place. Once you put her down, she doesn’t stay put for long. Also, her attention span is starting to get a little longer, so she can occupy herself for longer periods of time—maybe 20 minutes or so on a good day.  If she drops something she will look down looking for it and can follow things around now.  Her favorite things to watch are Fred (the cat) and Casha (the dog).  She squeels in delight when she sees Casha. We are still giving Rosa rice cereal.  Yesterday Ben gave her sweet peas. She loved them.  There is a video of her eating at the bottom. MMMMMMMMM!  Ben and Rosa are still staying home ...
