Here is a picture of the little guy and I at 29 1/2 weeks. We get to put the crib up tomorrow so I'm very excited about that. Pretty soon the room that isn't at all a nursery will be his little home :) Now all we need is to come up with a name. Ha!

3-D Ultrasound

Introducing the latest picture of my little man. Isn't he handsome? His little hand is hanging out by his cheek. I hope that he's this mellow after he's born...haha :)

Sick of the growing bump..

I went to the doctor's office on the 8th, and even though it was the best appt. so far since we got to find out...it was the worst for me as well. Up until that appt. I really hadn't gained all that much weight. I didn't gain a ton of weight, but I gained just enough in the 1 month that I think I'm going to go crazy. That is all that is on my mind, and I can't seem to quit obsessing about it. The sick thing is that I'll be gaining close to 20-30 more pounds and I don't think I'm prepared for it. I compare myself to everyone else here in SD, home in ND, pictures of friends on the internet, etc. and I can't stand myself.

I know that I'm pregnant and gaining weight is a good thing when your pregnant, but I'm a wreck. In the doctor's office that day I was speechless, and my husband goes, "Wow..that's great hunny...the medicine must be working." Aka: "Wow...you're a cow."

I just want to quit being pregnant. I want to be able to go on a diet. I want to lose all this weight and everything that I gained since 2005. I'm done with this new Savannah. I feel depressed because I'm not where I want to be and it's my fault that I let myself get out of hand. I should have had more control after I got out of the center and I let myself go and I am so unattractive that I make myself sick.

Everyone says that pregnant women are the most gorgeous and how can I be gorgeous when I nearly punch the mirror everytime I stare at my reflection?

It's a.......

BOY! We will be bringing a new little guy into the world due May 8th.

When I first saw this on Brie's page, I didn't want to do it since I didn't think I had read too many. Then I saw it on Jenn's page so I decided I would go ahead and see how many I have read :) I haven't read near enough of them, but I actually read more than I thought I had considering I thought my count would have been 5 or so. I really need to read some more of them though. Have a Merry Christmas everyone! Happy New Year!
