An Emerging Bump

My bump has officially emerged. I feel like it just grew a lot in the past week actually. Now people don't have to look at me and question whether the bump is just too much red velvet cake or a baby. LOL! It's an undeniable baby bump that would have the tabloids buzzing if I was some sort of celeb. I am eventually going to take a pic of the bump for anyone who is interested. So now that the baby is making his presence known more and more, I have been concentrating on getting my baby registry together. I actually finished it last night, it seems like everything we need and some of what we want has been covered. My mom looked at it this morning and I am sure she was rolling her eyes at all the "organic" items but she didn't mention anything in the e-mail reply she sent. I used the book "Great Expectations", a complete guide to pregnancy and childbirth as my guide in what I absolutely would need before little Bojangles makes it on the scene. Today I didn't make it to the gym because I was so sleep deprived. So I plan on going to the aquatic aerobics tonight, forcing myself to go because exercise after work has always been a struggle for me. That's why I normally go at 6 am before work to get it out of the way. And I normally feel energized for the day after my morning workout. But I woke up around 3am and didn't fall back asleep until 4:45am so the thought of getting up an hour later to hit the gym just seemed cruel and unusual. I try to workout at least 4 times out of the week, 5 being optimal. I will still be on point as long as I go tomorrow and friday. But I am hard on myself so I really will probably end up pushing myself out the door tonight at around 7:10pm. I mean once I am there and in the pool, I feel good. It's just getting myself to go. I am so unmotivated in the evenings. It's like sitting in my cube at work in front of the comp just drains my brain so by the time 5pm rolls around, I am like a zombie. So hungry right now, but what's new? I've been so curious about how the baby is going to look. I almost feel like cheating and getting one of those 4d ultrasounds that show what the baby actually looks like. It would be fun to have the photos at the baby shower. Everyone says that they think I will be a great mom. Really? I mean I guess they wouldn't tell me if they thought I would be a crappy mom, lol! "Oh you're pregnant? I feel bad for that baby!"...Can you imagine if someone said that to your face? I mean I know people who would probably say that about someone but not TO them! But who knows, I've known some bold tactless people in my time. I mean I am old enough that it is not like my life is ruined and I am an afterschool special, but I am also young enough to be considered a "young, hip" yummy mummy whose body(keeping my fingers crossed!) will snap back within 6 months of delivery. I plan on being in the gym up until the day I go into labor so that should help my cause! Okay, time to pick up my lunch! A bientot!
