So I took an unplanned break from blogging, as I'm sure you've noticed. I have no real reason for this, just the lame excuse of being busy. I don't want to dwell on that topic very long since I'm working overnights still and really don't have much time to type a good post. So, without further ado, look at the photo of Alicia! We're at eighteen weeks now, if I'm remembering right, and she is seriously showing. Let's go through a fun list of what has changed during my blogging hiatus!
Alicia's tummy is noticeably larger, as previously mentioned. It's starting to really firm up and look like a preggers belly. Unlike my belly which is looking much like a flesh bag full of marshmallow cream.
That whole "pregnancy mood" I keep hearing about? Dear FSM, no warning was quite enough to prepare me. That said, I've likely signed my death warrant, or in any case got dinner, laundry, and dishes duty from now on. In all seriousness, she was remained quite patient with my whining (WINNING!) butt, so I shouldn't complain.
It's almost time to start filling our child's developing brain with music through the womb! That said, I haven't added any songs to the playlist since I last mentioned it. My brain fails at multitasking interests. I should really fix that.
The sabotage and absolute takeover of my body by Alicia's hormones. Or at least that is the excuse I'm using in order to watch America's Next Top Model. And buy Vogue magazine. In all fairness, I could develop (!) a lot as a photographer by learning from high fashion photographers. Just saying. Stop laughing at me!
Speaking of photography, I'm back into photo mode full swing. My Flickr has been bombarded lately with a ton of new photos from me, so be sure to swing by there and check it out.
We are still planning on moving down to Collierville, TN. It's a matter of jobs at this point, so we're keeping our fingers crossed. We recently visited down there for Alicia's sister's wedding shower. It was great, as always, to see family and relax. I went to mass for the first time in a long time and it wasn't bad. I cringed at some mentions of Genesis, but overall it was nice. Certainly more bearable than any Baptist service I've ever been to.
OH! I almost forgot, we heard the heartbeat recently! Maybe it's just my love for electronic music, but that is such a magical sound. Like a washing machine. Or some saying "SKOWSKOWSKOWSKOWSKOW" through a microphone and then distorted. No? Maybe just a little? Anyway, I have an audio file of it on my phone that I need to upload. For great justice.
Oh yeah, ultrasound in a matter of a couple weeks. Alicia has agreed to find out the sex of the baby. I has a happy now.
