Well, not me exactly, but Charlie. He is officially 30 weeks now and I am beginning to think I may not actually be pregnant forever. I had another ultrasound today and apparently he measures bigger than that so my due date is now June 23rd instead of July 3rd. But due dates are just a big huge guess anyway, so I'm sticking with July 3rd. Things I will not miss once the baby is born:
1. Maternity Nylons. Before Jerel and I got married I warned him that a woman putting on control-top pantyhose was one of the most unattractive sights he would ever see. I have now had to change that because putting on maternity nylons is way worse.
2. Throat burn. That is what I call heartburn because I don't really feel it in my heart, so why call it heartburn?
3. People rubbing my belly. Do I look like a genie lamp or something?
4. Smiling when people say "Wow, you're getting so BIG!"
5. Taking iron supplements
6. Being enormous
I'm sure there are more but that's all I can think of right now.
Anyway, everything looks good with the baby. I thought he took after Jerel because in today's ultrasound he really did have his hand covering his face when she was trying to get pictures, but then she also said that the baby must be eating a lot because his stomach measures bigger than any other part of him so maybe he'll be like me after all...
We did, by the way, finally settle on and purchase a crib. They had to order it so we won't have it for a couple more weeks, but it is nice to have that done. If you're so excited that you can't wait to see it, here's a picture of it. Except ours will be white. I thought it might never happen. In fact after we finally settled on which one to get I suggested that Jerel call the store to place the order. "Now?" "Yes, why not?" "Well, it just seems so, you know, sudden." Of course, because we'd only been talking about it for four months...Now that we have a crib, all we need is, um, everything else! Not really, we have received many wonderful gifts and we are now the official hand-me-down recipients for my nephew Cooper. He is a very stylish little fellow so we're very fortunate there.

Wow Manda,
I don't know which to say is more beautiful...your precious baby or the crib! I guess if I have to be honest, right now I would have to say the crib really is prettier, but perhaps it was because Charlie isn't very photogenic right now. I'm quite sure that once he makes his arrival he will get used to having his picture taken frequently and he will be gorgeous (for a boy!)
