Open letter to baby clifton...

hi baby, 

I'm your future mom. That is so weird to even type. MOM. When I think of mom, I only think of my mom. SHE'S a mom. I'm just ...i dunno....not. So that's weird right? you are gonna be the first run at me trying to crack this mommy thing. Sorry. Ahead of time. Yeah, let me get my sorry's out the way. Sorry for the time, I let you cry more than you want to, for under/over feeding you (at any age) sorry for dressing you in clothes you might later hate, sorry for the first time I say, "it's for your own good", and for everytime after that, sorry for making you eat food you hate because it's good for you, sorry for not understanding you when you are a moody teenager, sorry for the time you are at a school dance and I bust out in the funky chicken and you die of embarrassment...I of course will think it's HILARIOUS! 

Anyway, this time is going by so SLOW...I just want to meet you already! I seriously can't wait. another three months seems like forever! I mean, take your time, stay in there for as long as you are supposed to, but, in all honesty, I can't wait!!!

so, this is what you have done to your moms cute figure...

I mean...not cool baby. not cool. And I know you have to grow...blah blah blah...but if you have any control over how big my boobs get...I think it's safe to say we can lay off now. ok? All set on the boob front. Thanks! you're a peach. 

This letter brought to you by,

 future mom and the letter R

BOY OR GIRL?

           is it a BOY?

            is it a GIRL?

I think everyone in the WORLD knows except Travas and my mom! COME ON you guys!!!! I wanna spill it!

maybe....

????? nah.....

Here are the things I have learned thus far being pregnant:

*it is tiring! I can fall asleep on a DIME!

*I get full really fast and starving just as fast. 

*my boobs are HUGE. 

that's about it!

Oh how the mighty have fallen....

So, Travas and I decided to take a mini -break. So, beautiful, scenic New Jersey was calling our name! I know! I'm spoiled! So, we went away about an hour and 15 minutes north to Mountain Creek, where they boast snow, and ....um. That's it. So we went tubing. We actually had a great time. Here we are... In all our tubing glory...

   

So, the reason we went TUBING and not something like, I dunno... skiing or snowboarding like normal adults, is obviously, I can't. If i were to take a spill or fall of, that would be very bad....so tubing it was. Even though Travas was green with envy watching all the swank boarders in all their gear walk by...

that being said. sometimes ...there can be tubing accidents. and sooooooometimes, it's caught on video. 

 

So, yes. I took a spill. I was seriously just STANDING there. And I slipped. From a ...STANDING position. So it turns out...tubing IS quite dangerous. 

Have you ever had that combination of crying and laughing. Yeah that was me for about 15 minutes. 

actual tears. very sad. BUT baby is fine...I feel it moving now...which is CRRRRAZY! mostly at night. Apparently, it's taking after it's (i HATE calling it "it" when I know what IT is!) parents as night owls!

hope all is well!!! "The Bachelor" tonight. I am a PARTY animal! Thanks for all your comments, I love reading them!

and it's a......

ok. I can't tell on this blog. because my mom reads it and she doesn't want to know....but I will tell you if you email me! Oh yeah...AND travas doesn't want to know either. SO this is my biggest secret keeping adventure YET! So please don't spill the beans if I do tell you...he's old fashioned...who knew?

here are photos taken today of the little whipper 

snapper...

It has 10 fingers, 10 toes, a good heart, and nice round head (hopefully not big like travs)

AND.....DRUM ROLL.......

IT SMILES!!!!!!!!!!! LOOK!!!!! IT'S SMILING!

SO, this next part, you might not want to look- scroll at your risk...they gave us a 3D picture and though I love my bambino this kind of looks like night of the living dead style. Some might say it's beautiful...I think it's kind of gross! but here is baby Clifton in all it's glory....

I told you it was kinda gross. I'm sure he/she will look way better in person. 

till my next update!
