23 weeks 3 days

Wow, it's been too long- I intended to post at least once a week! I have just been incredibly tired lately, by the time I get home from work I can barely form a coherent sentence. I haven't been sleeping well most of the time, between all the mini earthquakes here in San Diego, Braxton Hicks, and a hyper baby I am lucky to get a few precious hours, and after being on my feet all day that is hardly enough :P Other than the fatigue we've been doing pretty good ( and by fatigue I mean myself- not Kellan, the kid is going to be an Olympic athlete ). I look like octomom these days, I can barely tie my shoes. I don't know how I can have 4 months left, it feels like I couldn't possibly get any bigger. This weekend was a family girls' weekend for my Nana's birthday, and I had a great prenatal massage... if only the next 16 weeks could be one continuous massage! Mom and Dad offered to buy all of Kellan's baby room furniture/bedding, which is so exciting and such a blessing! Hmmm.... what else.... my belly button is starting to look like a cat's butt :P and I have started to get the lovely "pregnancy mask" which consists of some nice brown spots under my eyes, which go great with the broken blood vessels on my nose and forehead. I've been eating everything in sight as usual, last weekend we went to Outback and I ate a bloomin onion ( besides a steak, lobster, salad, and loaded baked potato- noms )- that onion was a MISTAKE. It was soooooo good but I was punished the whole weekend for my crunchy spicy delight! I was up sick all night Friday after eating it, which messed up Kellan's sleep schedule. For the next few days he mostly slept all day and then went banana sandwich in the middle of the night. When this kid starts going he is like a ferret in a paper bag. Only bigger. Brandon has been having fun reading baby magazines and books and informing me of baby facts, as well as his plans to buy organic fruits and veggies and make his own baby food. He is going to be the cutest dad. Well, that's all for now- hopefully it won't be too long before I can gather enough brain cells to write again :)
