It's a....

So much to recap and tell. :) Most of the juicy deets will have to wait until we're back from vacation but I'll cover some of the basics quickly while I have my feet up and give the Babe a few minutes to wallop me.

1. Babe will most likely make her appearance sometime mid August or very early September but it's tough to say for sure at the moment. I couldn't even begin to guess at the "official" Doctor's date as this kid is an overachiever and doesn't seem to believe in percentiles or how she measures up against others. Regardless, I'm sure she's got her mind made up on what day she wants for a birthday!

2. I have maintaned a green tint since finding out about the little babe and honestly, the last thing I really felt like doing was talking about it. Didn't really want anyone inquiring how I was feeling, which would only serve to remind me how miserable I was. My height and long torso has made it a fairly easy topic to avoid up until the half way point and then some loose blousy tops has kept it from being obvious until we could facilitate an annoucement.

3. The number of people who say "I knew it!" when you do to tell them you are pregnant and who quite clearly had no idea are really annoying. Supremely annoying. No one likes a know-it-all. Why do some people think that is an acceptable response? Not that it's come from anyone reading this. I think next time I won't say a word to those people the whole time.

4. #2 most annoying comment? "You can't even tell you're pregant." Hmph. If I had a penny for the number of times I've heard this I'd be a very rich person... Worst offenders are the people who say it and who see me every day. My stomach was TINY, my waist curved in It now curves out. Blatantly. Which is terrific cause I want this babe chubbing up but ugh. Brent has given me full permission to just smack the people that keep saying that because really? Not complimentary at this point.

5. Our princess has made it abundantly clear to Brent and I that she is a true PRINCESS and belongs exclusively at the center of our attention. She has been making sure we don't forget about her or relax for a second. Little girl seems to like causing drama and is already keeping us on our toes.

Alright, afternoon seista is coming to an end. If there's something specific you want to know, leave it in the comments and I'll do some detailed posts this week.
