Oh Month of May, Won't You Come Rescue Me from the Boring Abyss of School that is My Life???

Why don't I ever write anything on my blog anymore besides updates about my baby? My life is really boring. Besides the excitement I feel for the pending birth of Little Buddy, all I do is go to school, then come home and do homework, or do homework, then go to school. Night classes are a B. Like today: I sat on the couch and did homework till 2:30. Then I took a shower. Then I went to school. For 6 hours... When I called Matt to tell him I was on my way home tonight, he told me all about how his night went- just a little trip to the beach with friends, then out to a delightful Thai dinner. The highlight of my day, you ask? I'll tell you: discovering that if I sit a little slunched over on the couch, my belly makes a perfect table for my Cheese-Its. The Cheese-Its I eat while doing endless hours of homework. wow.

Just about 21 Weeks...

He seems to get more and more active! I've noticed over a few days that he gets especially active at around 10 in the morning. I just sit there and watch him make me bounce!.. it's so strange but I love it!

It's a BOY!!!

Yes that's right! I get my very own little buddy! I have tons of pictures of him but I have to wait till I can scan them to post them. But I will. He's so freaking cute you won't want to miss out on his cuteness. He had the most precious little hiccups during the ultrasound. OH gosh he's the cutest. She said his feet are 1 and 1/2 inches long already! He's getting so big. Everything looks good; we saw his heart beating, his spine, his brain, the umbilical cord and his little hands and feetsies! When we saw his face, his mouth was wide open. Matt thought it was spooky but I thought it was precious. Anyway, we couldn't be more THRILLED knowing that we're having a little boy! He becomes more real all the time and I just can't wait till he gets here!!!

18 Weeks Pregnant tummy shot

I love how I don't look pregnant at all yet- just a little extra fat... it's my favorite.

Ok so on Valentine's Day I felt the baby move for the first time and since then he/she's been moving around the clock! When the baby is moving a lot, I'll put my hand where it's moving to see if I can feel it from the outside, which so far I haven't been able to. Anyway, just now I was sitting here, minding my own business, when the baby starts doing somersaults and karate kicks like crazy. I put my hand on it and boom! i felt a kick on my hand! It was so hard that I quickly pulled up my shirt to see if I could see it move and I totally did!!! A little part of my tummy just popped out all of a sudden! It was the coolest thing I've ever seen! After those two raucous kicks the baby settled down. I think the little baby was just uncomfortable and trying to get into a good napping position :)

Just call me a Mitten...

Who was at church today in the good ol' 7th ward? Oh just Mitt Romney... He and his wife bought a house in La Jolla so we thought we may see him at church at some point- there were Mitt sightings in the ward a couple weeks ago.. but then today.. he got up and bore his testimony! It was a really nice testimony and I assumed he probably skipped out after sacrament meeting so he wouldn't get bombarded with people, but then as I was sitting in the car after church waiting for Matt, I saw him sneak out the back. Anyway, it was pretty cool :)
