Some things about being pregnant. Like all others in Mormondom, I made cinnamon buns (we CDNs prefer "buns" to "rolls", and really, shouldn't everyone? I mean come on, buns!!) over conference weekend. And I don't know if it is just pregnancy hormones or perhaps the buns, but man was I feeling that conference! I was weepy the whole time, thinking "boy, am I ever spiritual". I haven't had such a spirit'chal conference since the mission. This draws the conclusion that pregnancy is just like a mission. Amen.
Also, here is a photo of me at 18 weeks minus 1 day:
And behold you can see ma' bump. It feels strange, but really, the only thing that feels pregnant on me is my big ham hock legs. I swear, by butt and thighs are pregnant too. Le sigh. I was rocking out with some girls in Zumba today, and did it ever look funny to see me in the mirror, shakin' that thing to dirty rap songs with the bump out front. It will be even better in a few weeks!
Because pregnancy is just like a mission, I thought it would be a great time to grow out my hairs. I mean, honestly, I have had variations on the theme of my style for the past 10 years. Mostly I thought growing out my bangs would be appropriate to bring about the change I wanted, but people I am going crazy trying to grow them out. They are just shy of being long enough to tuck behind my ears so I am forever pinning them back or wearing them down and looking weird. I need some encouragement to know that I am doing the right things.
And then this week I felt the baby move/kick... I'm really not too sure what it is doing down there- but it feels neat. We find out in two weeks to see what kind of kid I'm cookin', for I am not one of those that can wait. Please, do not be misled by my name.
Lastly I shall leave you with my song of the week. . . even though Beyonce stole my thunder, I found it somewhere in my heart to forgive and still love.
4 woot-woots!:
I just loved feeling dixie and lulu kick! Best feeling ever! Enjoy!!
