{Blonde Moment vs. Prego Moment}

So being a blonde I've obviously heard every blonde joke in the book - people feel it is their duty to tell them to you (I still haven't quite figured out why?).

Now that I'm pregnant people keep telling me about "Prego Brain"... I must admit, I'm intrigued. Does this now mean I can take my Blonde Moments and blame them on Prego Brain?! If so, are you ready for Prego Moment #1?

C and I are in Visions buying our Anniversary presents to each other (more about that later) and we had to fill out our information in the system. The lady asks, "Can I get your last name?" I reply, "His, or mine?" .... seriously D... you're buying ANNIVERSARY PRESENTS.. you have been married for just shy of an entire year, YOU HAVE THE SAME LAST NAME!!!!

{I'm Pregnant}

I had my first ultrasound today... It was unbelievable. There is aaactually a baby in my belly, who woulda thought!? I feel so relieved... like I can finally stop worrying (although I know I never will). Baby dragon was moving around lots. He kept chomping at us - opening and closing his mouth. C loved that part, he was laughing and actually said "He looks like a dragon!" (the tech laughed). I was so happy to see his little body up there on that screen, I could barely take my eyes off of it. When the tech finally let us hear his heartbeat I cried. It felt like I'd been waiting forever to hear those little babybeats. I have never heard anything more amazing.

I guess even though I've known for months, it's actually real now.

Oh my god... I'm Pregnant.

*[we do not know the sex.. we just say he because we think he's a boy and I don't like to call him "it".]

{Oh Fudge}

5 Reasons Baby Dragon Needs to Stay Put 'til December:

[aside from the real reason - like growing]

1. Sleep is my friend

2. A friend told me her daughter hit her in the face with a remote - I asked if she hit her back (her daughter is 1)

3. The same friend told me her son was being a brat - I suggested locking him in the closet

4. I swear too much

and last but certainly not least....

5. I forget to feed the cat - all the time

I wonder how long it will take me to start using the word fudge?

{Ice Cream & Pickles Are So Last Year}

Saturday nights dinner:

Cucumber slices and Mr. Noodles

Last nights dinner:

Corn on the cob & greek salad

Tonight's dinner:

Ham & Cheese sandwiches for an appy. Main course - baked potatoes with sour cream!

Random? I'm aware.

Good for me? Probably not.

Necessary? Very!

For some reason, lately I cannot decide on what to make for dinner. I get my mind set on one thing and that's all I want (ie: corn on the cob, baked potatoes, etc.). Luckily I eat healthy throughout the day and have a balanced breakfast and lunch so I know I'm getting the nutrients I need and I suppose it could be worse.. I could be having ice cream and pickles for dinner, right? But I do worry about C. I feel bad that he's having to eat these random things because that's just what I make and he really has no say. I know he's quite capable of making his own dinner, and sometimes he will, but usually he just eats what I make and doesn't make a fuss. He's a good sport that husband of mine.. perhaps I'll keep him around - and feed him vitamins!

{Dragon Ears}

As I sit on the couch, bored out of my mind, watching C play videogames I start thinking about our baby's ears. They say babies are often soothed by mom's voice because they hear her speak daily, or by whatever music you may put up to your belly, that's kinda cool!! Then a thought occurs to me...

Will Baby Dragon ever be able to sleep without gunshots and explosions in the background?

I wonder if those things you attach to the crib that make lullaby noises come with the soothing noises of "World War 2" and "The Wild West Shootout".

Just a thought.

{Could Somebody Find My Dignity?}

Dear Baby Dragon,

You better appreciate this.

1. Wake up at 630 am (after not sleeping all night because your bladder is the size of a sunflower seed) because you're so nervous/worried/anxious for your doctors appointment.
2. Get ready for the day, pack your school stuff and head for the bus - in the rain
3. Get to the doctors 10minutes early for your appointment..
4. Pee in a cup
5. Weigh yourself - wonderful, up 2lbs. ugh.
6. Undress and put on hospital gown, lay down on table and wait (for the doctor, and your husband who is MIA).
7. Husband arrives - still waiting for doctor.
8. Doctor arrives - an hour after you've been nearly nakid on her table.
9. Doctor listens for heartbeat - no heartbeat. Baby Dragon, you're a brat already.
10. Convince doctor that you need an ultrasound to make sure there is actually a baby in there.. doctor agrees.
11. Get your oh-so-sore boobs molested by doctor - not ideal.
12. Stir-ups out, legs up... Cold metal in.. Ugh.
13. Swabs, fingers, and the kitchen sink - also in.
14. Good news: "Your ovaries are where they are supposed to be and your uterus is growing nicely!" - Awesome!
15. Check for ridges that the baby could get caught on when coming out..... Ridges?? WTF!.. and OW! (no ridges!)
16. All done! Any Questions?

....Only one: Could somebody find my dignity?
