the dude abides

K Lacey, here are a couple pics for you. They're not very recent, I'm about a month behind on getting pictures from my camera to my computer. He's 14 pounds now. If we get together I promise not to let him eat Eddie as a light snack.

this drummer is at the wrong gig

I really hate shopping, but this might make it less miserable. Think it might really be this easy some day?

On a completely unrelated note, do any of you compost? I think I want to start composting outdoors (not on my counter top) but have very limited space and budget. Anyone?

Hello my friends!

Hey everyone. I am back from Mars to say hello. Congrats to those knocked up! That's great!
I decided that although Facebook is totally lame, it was time for me to get on & talk about randon junk that nobody really cares about. Well, maybe my family lol.

Anyhoo, be my friend:)

Don't everyone pass out, but I am about to make a post...
I am 12ish weeks pregnant and would love to add my comment regarding Angie's 'bump' post. I already don't have a waste, In the mornings I just look fat, but by the end of the day I look like I should be nearing my 25th week. My other symptoms included the need for nothing but cheese and grease the entire 1st trimester (thus the fatness), headaches that won't go away, and a real lack of motivation for anything and everything. Other than that life is grand! :)

Happy Valentines Day, Wusses!

Since my default mode these days is to cry at the slightest hint of sentimentality (damn you, Poppin Fresh Dough commercials!) I was going to make you all a playlist of the sappiest, cheesiest love songs ever for Valentines Day. But AOL already did it for me! Here's a list of the 111 Wussiest Songs of All Time. I have been totally exposed as a wuss because there are a few songs on here that I really like. Busted. This list is a few years old so it's missing some of the more recent drivel but I bet you'll find out you're a wuss too.

About a Bump

I think everyone on here knows I'm pregnant...um except maybe Heather (Hey Heather, guess what! I'm knocked up!) Ok so now everyone knows.
Anyway, I've been thinking my bump is unnaturally big already. I have always had it in my mind that you "shouldn't" start showing until around the 5-month mark.

Quick digression {I'm 99% sure this idea came from something Claire Huxtable told Denise Huxtable in a "very special episode" of the Cosby Show in 1987 but that seems like a reliable-enough source of pre-natal information. I'm mean Cliff was a doctor, after all...}

Anyway, I've been all concerned about my belly size so tonight I went online and found a forum on whattoexpect.com where all the other chicks that are due the same time as me talk about every single hiccup, fart and tuna sandwich they've had since conception. I found the thread where everyone posted pictures of their 'bumps' and everyone is pretty damn big. So NOW I'm freaked out that I'm not big enough for how many weeks I am (which I think is 15???) Like the little guy stopped growing or something. ??
So my question for you gals is how far along were you when you started 'showing'? And by showing I mean, when could YOU first see the bump? and then how far along were you when other people could see it?
Also, when did you feel the first 'flutter' of movement?

I know there are books about this kind of stuff but I think I'll get more/better details by asking real people.
