39 inches and counting...

I measured my belly today. I'm 39 inches around the belly button, which is unfortunately 50% an outie now. I'm 27 weeks pregnant and loving it. Scott and I haven't picked a name yet so, our baby girl has been nicknamed by family, Biscuit. Biscuit is moving around all the time. When I first started feeling her in January, I sometimes got motion sickness. Now it's gotten so normal that I think I might suffer withdrawals when she's no longer in there. Although there are several things I won't miss. We are so excited for our new arrival. My sister Cassey is 9 months pregnant, due April 16. My sister in law due April 22. So pretty soon I will be surrounded by newborns with 2 months still for mine will come. I think it will be an interesting test on my patience. We had an ultrasound this week. Everything is looking good. The baby is just over 2 1/2 lbs. It's an amazing thing having life growing inside of you. It all became more realistic after I started feeling her move. Now it's a lot easier convincing myself that drinking enough to fill a small swamp a day is necessary.

First posting protocol

So what exactly is the first post of your blog supposed to be like? Is there certain protocol one is supposed to follow? This is my third attempt at a blog and I still have no idea. I decided to start once more and actually remain faithful to it. I've been following my sisters and seeing the easiness with which they discuss their daily lives, thoughts, and feelings makes me envious. And I thought how about instead of being envious of them, why don't I try (again) So here is my attempt. We'll see if it lasts more than a week, cross your fingers.

One of the reasons that my last two attempts at a blog failed is that I simply did not think I had anything worth saying. But as I've gotten older and wiser(I hope) I've been able to realize all the wonderful things that I do have to talk about. And the times that I think I don't have anything special going on are the times that I've failed to recognize them. I am hoping that this blog will help me to grow in many different areas. I'm also hoping that it will fill up the lonely days when my hubby is at work or school and I am procrastinating the things I really ought to be doing. I also hope that I can keep it as a record of my life right now, as it is a novel idea it is more exciting than a traditional journal. Hopefully I can look back on it to help me remember this stage in my life and all the special things that were happening.
