Maybe It's In HERE!!!

Ok, so I have a theory on why there is no baby here yet...MAYBE I AM THE PREGNANT ONE! Let's look at the facts here people...on second thought lets leave facts out of this, what have they ever done for us any way. Maybe my wife just has a VERY strong affinity for carmel apples! There is the possibility that she just can't get enough of my cooking, and always wants more! I am the miserable one here, the stretch marks, the back pains, the mood swings, the strange cravings...I just don't know what is going on with my body these days!

Hear anything honey? THERE IT WAS! Did you feel it kick you?

What? That was just gas? You mean...It is ME that is just fat?
"DADDY!!!!" The kids all yell in exacerbated frustration at my foolishness.

I suppose you are right, I have no superpowers like my wonderful wife. I am sure my wife is excited to give birth to our 6th child...and raise all 7 of us. My wife is so amazing. She has a 40 pound bag of water and baby parts strapped to her, and she still has time to love me, take care of our kids, do her transcription AND Gagina classes, keep the house clean, and she even finds time in there somewhere to sleep!

I love you Wifey!

23 weeks

Okay...here is the first of many catch-up posts. These are my 23-week pictures and another of my cute shirts I told you about.

An "action shot" of me walking. Greg's such a nerd. :O)


The 23-week belly in all its glory.

One of my three favorite shirts. I find it even funnier because I'm not wearing any!

22-week Pics

Here are my 22-week belly pics. I had them taken at the Young Musicians Choir Camp {new post regarding that awesome event will be forthcoming} at Pine View High School. They are a couple of days late because I was so busy organizing YMCC.

I wish the shirt would have been a little bit longer, but unfortunately they don't make polo shirts {for embroidery} in maternity sizes...go figure!

Swelling :O(

I've had some swelling already in this pregnancy, which I think is directly related to the increased heat lately. Here's what my cute little feet normally look like {sorry for the unpedicured toes...not something you get to do much when you've got five little kids}.

And here's what they looked like last night before I went to bed. I'd been sitting at my computer blogging {entirely too late!} and didn't have my feet elevated. :O(


So now I'm drinking tons of water and making sure I keep my feet up. Greg let me sleep in this morning and then made French toast for breakfast/lunch. :O) Isn't he just the coolest!?

Edit: I updated pictures because these show the true swelling better.

Pregnant Pictures

I want to use this blog to keep everyone updated on the size of my ever-growing belly, so I'll start with a picture of me a few days ago at 21 weeks and compare it to my 5-week picture.

I got the shirt here. I bought a couple of other cute ones so I'll try to get pics in those soon.

And here's me at 5 weeks. What a big change already. You'd think my body knows how to do this whole pregnancy thing or something!
