So I just went to my own blog to blog-stalk all of my blog friends (blog, blog, blog) and I officially got freaked out by the floating fetus on my page. No offense, Wyatt, but at 24 weeks, the rotating, spinning, cartoon baby that is supposed to be representing you is nothing less than terrifying. I have no doubt that you are already about a MILLION times cuter than that scary little cartoon baby, but I feel the need to apologize to all of my loyal readers for the creepy hovering baby spinning around to your right. YIKES!
In my defense, I added that little widget (I love the word "widget"...it's just fun to say) because I can click on the specific week and read all sorts of fascinating information about my pregnancy, Wyatt's development, etc. This week specifically, the first paragraph even said, "It's totally natural to be freaking out. Voicing your concerns about mommyhood will help you actually get used to the idea." So there, my fears are justified because my baby countdown ticker said so. Don't even get me started on the whole birthing process though...we'll get to that later and that's all I need to know right now.
My "What to Expect" app on my iPhone told me that Wyatt is the size of an eggplant right now. Sam and I decided to check that WHILE we were in the produce section of Walmart last night, so of course we had to take a picture of me with the eggplant on the produce aisle. Hence...
And just for kicks, we decided to go ahead and take the 24 week belly picture in the exact same spot. Who doesn't like a little variety in background for the famous belly pics?? (And it sure beats all the pajama belly pics I've been taking over the past several weeks...)
So that's me at 24 weeks--obviously starting to show a bit more now than before. Can you see the little eggplant in there? Wyatt has started kicking around A LOT, and he's very nocturnal--just like his mommy and daddy. Last night Sam and I could actually see my tummy poke out, move around, and go back to normal as he made himself comfortable in there...it was so fun to watch!! We just happened to be watching the episode of the Office when Jim & Pam's baby is born, so I think Wyatt was particularly enjoying the show...
Okay, that's about all the time I have for now. One last thing before I go...if you read my blog and I don't have you on my friends list (and we're friends--that's an important stipulation), please leave a comment so I can link your blog to mine. I haven't been very good at updating my friends lately, and I know there are a few people I need to add! Have a lovely day! :)

Hey Crislyn! You look GREAT!! I agree that the widget baby is a little freaky, but don't worry- Wyatt will not be so scary- I'm sure he'll be just perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI have to keep telling myself that this is your FIRST child and I've already been "stretched". But goodness sakes! You are so much smaller than I am and we're the same far-alongness. (I just made up that term.) Anyway, I'm jealous. :) Isn't a little weird that they always compare babies to produce. Then whenever you eat an eggplant or a lime or a jelly bean you think, "That's how big my baby was!"
ReplyDeleteI think it's so funny that you took a picture with an eggplant, ha!! Happy 24 weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou look so great! It was fun seeing you last weekend! I'm happy you're enjoying the pregnancy so much. Yaay!
ReplyDeleteHey Crislyn! Congrats again! I love seeing your belly pics, you are too cute!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a blog for you to link me to, but I like reading your updates. I remember last year when Sarah and I were there. Enjoy it while it lasts. It goes too fast after this. You need to get Sam to post with some musings about his future fatherhood. I'll be interested to see how he's feeling.
ReplyDeleteIt was so good to see you last night! You look so awesome for 24 weeks!! I used to love watching my belly move around. It was a little crazy to see those elbows and knees poking out all over. I'm so excited for you guys!
