No pictures or anything (because of course, I'm at work again), just me here, feeling giant. Maybe it's the outfit today, but I looked at myself in the mirror after one of my million bathroom trips per day, and went "geesh!" I have a feeling snowp was going through a growth spurt recently because I have been utterly pooped (don't know if there is actually a medical correlation between him growing and me being tired, but hey, I'm going with it.) and now I look like a condo/small house. I've also noticed that my belly button appears to be sprouting a bruise. Probably not really a bruise, but the skin around it is a darker color than the rest of my skin. I think all of my abdominal skin is now reaching the "freak out" point, wondering how much more I plan to put it through. Ha ha, just you wait, skin, just you wait...
Shopping news: after registering for, and receiving, the wrong size sling, I returned it to amazon for credit. Well, I found out that it would be cheaper to buy it directly from the maker (with a 15% discount because I'm addicted to celebrity baby blog) than getting it on amazon, so I bought it from the maker and decided to spend the refund on other useful stuff. Interesting choice, seeing as it then took me about a month to decide what to buy off amazon. I finally settled on: Oprah's newest book club pick (shut up!), an additional boppy cover with ocean friends and stripes, a swaddle-me wrap (so cool! Olivia didn't think so though....couldn't even keep her in it long enough to get a picture), a nursing tank top, and nursing bra. I've now received everything but the clothing and am quite pleased. I look forward to starting on the book this evening while Bri does his swim workout. I'll have to take some pics soon.
Well, that's all for now. I promise an updated picture will show up sometime in the near future.

New pictures galore! [20w4d]
Well aren't you just some lucky blog fans? Today you get not only a picture of my giant belly with prime example of funky belly doing measurements, though, Brian managed to catch a glimpse of just what hebutton-ness, but you also get new ultrasound pictures! And some news!!!
First off, here's the belly pic. Now you listen here, this is not just baby in this picture. There are also two mugs of yummy root beer! So here's what you get when you add root beer to snowpea. And please, don't look too long at the terrible belly button....it weirds ME out!
Now, what you really want to see! Snowpea's most recent pictures!!! Snowpea was very well behaved so the ultrasound tech could get all the important measurements necessary....well, besides jumping around like a kangaroo for the first while, but that can't be helped! It was mommy's done with work, I must now dance and play time. The ultrasound tech said snowpea was very photogenic and made for some pictures so beautiful, they could be in a textbook! Yay! Taking after me already. Ha!
Here's little snowpea's skeletor face:
And here's one that's not quite so skeletor-looking:
A beautiful picture of my beautiful baby's perfect little foot:
A lovely profile shot - just look at that cute face!!
And another, because that face is just too cute to not look at twice:
And finally, we were able to easily find out the sex! Snowpea cooperated very well and showed off:

BOY PARTS!!!!
Yes, yes, we shall be gracing the world with a mini-me of Brian. This totally explains all of the triathlon practice in my uterus...I was actually kind of surprised because Brian had thought it was a girl for so long, I had convinced myself of the same. While the ultrasound tech was still was looking for. He didn't say anything though just in case there was a chance he was wrong. I think the picture's pretty clear though. :) We are very excited! Not that we wouldn't have loved having a baby girl, but a boy is just so cool! We promptly went to the mall after the ultrasound and picked up a new pair of work capris and a shirt for me, plus two cute little Carter's outfits from Kohl's for the wee one. I'll post pictures of them later on. For now, I guess I'd better get this posted before people start rioting and knocking down our door! Thanks for reading!!

I hate my belly button [16w4]
I seriously used to have a cute belly button (if there is such a thing). No more! This thing is ridiculous! While I've read that belly buttons can pop out like a thanksgiving turkey thermometer, it's not supposed to happen until much much later. Well, my formerly normal bellybutton has now decided that it is a half-innie, half-outie. AND, it's super sensitive! Oh well, what can you do?
Here is a picture of the cards little snowpea has received so far (or we received that mention snowpea). Yes, one of them is actually a father's day card for Brian. Hayley, you're a doll!
And of course, since you have been so deprived for so long, here is the newest belly shot. You still can't tell anything with clothes on (unless I'm feeling particularly bloated, that is), but there is definitely something there that wasn't there before.
Everyone at my office now knows the news, and it's been nice reactions all the way around. Now I even have an excuse to not have to push around the gigantic cart full of pop at Sam's club. Mwa ha ha!
Our next doctor's appointment is in one week and the big ultrasound is coming up in four weeks!!!
All in all, I've been feeling pretty good. Although a walk in the sun to the park pretty much wiped me out yesterday. Probably a half mile each way and I was nearly falling asleep walking on the way back. Brian was not impressed. :) I've still been grazing all day long while I'm at work, and usually by the time Bri's back from his exercising at around 7-8 pm daily, I am no longer hungry and throw a fit at him. Oops. We need to figure out a better dinner time that works for both of us.
That's all for now. Will write again at least next week.
