Buddha Belly

That's right. I am writing it in black and white...I have a Buddha Belly. There. I feel better now. As of today, I am embracing my lovely, new Buddha Belly. Afterall, it really is Baby P. in there, and if you rub a Buddha Belly, isn't it supposed to bring good luck?

Baby P. turned 12 weeks on Sunday. Most all of my friends and family are aware now, as well as work folks. And because Baby P. has reached this milestone, I am ready to put some thoughts out there, keep track of what is in my anal-retentive brain, release the inner mom-to be.

So, this blog will be my journal for the next six months. I hope you enjoy my comments and are able to keep in touch with what is going on in my mind, my heart, and my uterus ;-) until Baby P. arrives.

Here are some things I know about Baby P.:
Baby P. is strong, as Jason and I heard the heartbeart last week, and its little heart was pumping away at 162 BPM. (160 is good)
Baby P. likes to eat. I am eating more, but I haven't really gained weight yet, so the food is going somewhere (There is no such thing as a Buddha Butt, is there? ;-)!
Baby P. will be born on or around July 23.

Jason (with only slight reluctance) and I decided to wait until the birth to ascertain the gender.
So, thanks for hanging with us while we ponder the possibilities.

Until next time...C
