A very jelly last hoo-rah

Oh no I didn't.  Yes I did.  I told myself that I would have one indulgence before this Bell arrives.  And it came in the form of a Jelly Doughnut.  Not any jelly - specifically a Dunkin' Doughnuts jelly.  I hadn't had one in YEARS and they are my favorite.  However, the closest DD is on HWY 17 and 204, otherwise known as North Jacksonville.  So my fantastico husbando and I ventured out today - first stop Target - second stop, DD for the jelly.  Now, anyone who knows Savannah, knows that Target is in the same parking lot as Krispy Kreme.  So, it's KK vs. DD.  KK is 30 seconds away, DD is 30 minutes.  KK it is.  And here's the proof:
Weight is still at 154lbs - we'll see what it is tomorrow after the Jelly

Heavy D

Well, it's more like Heavy C - which is what my cup size is now.  I went to Target and bought new bras, but refuse to take the tags off, as I'm still in denial that I will wear them. 
Weight is up to 154....Yup, I'm a cool 40lbs up.  I'm seeing the appearance of another chin, but as my friend Ali said - it's all about Baby Bell right now.  Only 3-4 more weeks to go.  Had a great swimming session this morning.  Thank God I'm swimming with all old ladies who don't care that I haven't shaved in 2 weeks.
We did TONS of great baby things this weekend...like:  car seat check, glider purchase, stroller assembly (two of them!), and calking Baby's door frame.  Of course, most of this was the work of my insanely awesome husband - but my supervision skills were essential. 
We're laying low for the next few weeks - maybe Heavy C will become Heavy D.  Right now, I'm def. Heavy A.

Cankles, Thankles, Diapers and Wipes

Whew!  What a week!  My cankles arrived on Wednesday.  There's a pic below.  Bret took it next to Winslow's leg - I'm not sure why, but I bet it was just so you avid readers could get a real picture of how swollen I am.  The Hermans, Kennickells, and Konters hosted a Diapers/Wipes shower last night and it was AWESOME.  Check out a photo of Jen's diaper wreath.  I think she should give up lawyering and do showers full-time.  Her husband disagreed with me. 

The weight is now up to about 147lbs.  I have a checkup tomorrow.  Of course, I won't let them weigh me, but I'll be fairly honest. 

My mom is coming to town on Thursday.  Can't wait - she is even more organized than I am - or is it OCD - not sure which.  Bret will head to Gloucester next weekend for Aunt Holly's memorial.  It'll be a sad time - but also a time for celebration with lots of family and friends in town.  I'll miss him for V-Day - but did we ever really celebrate it?  Nothing more than a Bret Bell dinner and a creative card.  That's all I need.
