Neglect

Wow!  Have I neglected this blog!  But I knew I would - so much to do, so little time.  This weekend is our Baby Basics course at Candler.  All weekend long - Bret is such a trooper.  Although, tomorrow I'm solo b/c it's his last tennis match (don't judge the man...he's gotta play).  The baby course is interesting - not a waste of time, like we thought.

I had an amazing shower a few weeks ago in Atlanta.  Kudos to all of the hosts - I couldn't have asked for a better party.  Next weekend is the diapers/wipes couples shower.  Bar-b-que and beer - a true Bell party. 

Baby Bell is def. a soccer player - he kicks all day long, which is a good sign.  I always thought soccer players had great legs - so here's hoping for a cross between Bret "skinny" legs and Adrienne "overly muscular" calves. 

Weight is hovering at 145lb.  That's right - you read it correctly.  I'm up about 30lbs and I'm really okay with it.  I can't really do anything high-impact anymore, so I'm sticking to spin, swimming, yoga, and weight lifting.  I'm loving the new Savannah Power Yoga - although everyone in class looks at me like I'm going to give birth right in the middle of class.  What would they do?  What would I do?  Could happen....

No more nasty comments from stupid people - just well wishes.  I like to tell people I have 6.5 weeks left instead of telling them I'm due in March.  March just seems so far away - but 6.5 is right around the corner.

Lectures

The girl at the bank drive-thru today says "honey are you pregnant or is your jacket just puffed up?"  I said - "I'm pregnant, but if I wasn't, I'd be really pissed off at you." 


Oh how time flies when you're eating a ton of food.  I'm hungry all of the time - but trying to make better choices.  I'm making a little dent in my Lovin' Spoons Yogurt gift card ($74 to go!).  Thank God the death-by-chocolate holidays are over.  We had another ultrasound on Tuesday and Baby Bell is about 2.5-3lbs.  Big Bell! 

I got a nice weight lecture from my OB.  I know he's concerned about women getting depressed when they can't lose the baby weight, but I'm on a mission!  Does he know what I do for a living??!!   So the scale is measuring 141lbs.  I'll probably top 150 - 155lbs by the time this big boy arrives. 

The nursery is cute and almost done.  Check out Bret's cool artwork (not his - but cool nonetheless).  We are staying home this weekend, I'm a bit under the weather with sinus stuff.  Next weekend is my first baby shower in ATL - so psyched.
