Week 19 Belly

Its week 19 and I managed to get a belly shot from Jonathan before running out the door. Again, not the best and the printed dress (by Weston Wear, who I LOVE) probably did not help... or maybe it did. My perspective is too skewed to tell anymore.

Anyway, during my last doctor visit, the doctor said my belly measurement was perfect so, I'm goin' with that.

Aaaaaannnnd, last week during the ultrasound, the tech said that Wackadoodle was 8 ounces. He actually did not call out baby Wackadoodle but that what we call HIM!!!!

I think I am too Old to be a Groupie

Jonathan and I have tickets to see Harry Connick Jr next week and I am very excited. I love Harry.

When Jonathan and I first started dating, HCJr was booked to play at Chastain Park in Atlanta. Chastain Park is a wonderful outdoor venue with built in tables and you can bring a picnic and wine. Jonathan put together a great picnic and we were seated next to some really fun people. It was starting out as very romantic until a few songs into the concert, the skies opened up and it poured down raining.

We made up for it a few years ago at JazzFest! We caught not only HCJr's set but also an impromptu session in one of the tents with Wynton Marsalis and Trombone Shorty. We have been Trombone Shorty fans ever since!

 Now this time around, we are headed backstage. My mom is friends with HCJr's dad and he managed to get us passes. While this is all unbelievably thrilling, it has also created a little panic for me.

What on earth am I going to wear? I will be 5 months pregnant. Seriously need some help in the going out while pregnant clothing department.

Also, what does one in their late 30s and 5 months pregnant do backstage?

Advice is welcomed!

It's A.....

Another boy! And everything is in the right place and he looks healthy!

So you may have guessed, we had our big ultrasound last Friday afternoon. Almost everyone who offered a prediction on this baby's gender thought it would be a girl. I don't know why except that since MRA is a boy maybe they just wanted us to have a girl.

Everyone also assumes that I want a girl. Which was not necessarily true. Having a girl was pretty intimidating and seemed like a lot more work. After all, we are already set up for another boy.

I don't know if I just jumped on the bandwagon or what, but I thought this baby was going to be a girl and so did Jonathan. But then... the ultrasound, and the unmistakable anatomy. I saw it and knew immediately.

I couldn't be happier or more excited. MRA gets a little bro to play with and I get to be surrounded by all my sweet boys!

Week 17 Day 4

So getting a baby bump photo is pretty hard to do.

I should clarify, getting a baby bump photo that I can accept for posting on this blog is hard to do, especially when the photographer is my husband who has less patience than MRA.

I am seriously considering phoning a friend to take the picture if I am going to continue this trend. At this point, I promise nothing.

But here it is - the bump at 17 and half weeks. Its true, at least with me, that you "show" quicker the second time around. The good news is, I am no longer in "the in between" and clearly in the, "She has to be pregnant realm".

Not completely in maternity wear but heading that direction very quickly.
