These are true!!

Okay, these pictures are true! They are from a child who is actually inside me!!!

We just had this ultrasound Friday and until this point I have been kind of floating along sort of in disbelief that I am pregnant--but these pictures proved....there is a real baby in there!! He or she even says, "Hi Mom and Dad!!!!"--well actually our ultrasound tech wrote that, but anyway...

This child was crazy! Flipping over and moving constantly (weird I can't feel it) so we didn't get the best pics...but here are some of the better ones.

Jamie noticed the good arch support--that comes from me :)

It was covering his or her face almost the whole time so we couldn't get a good look at it's nose. We have been so curious whose nose it will get--Jamie's or mine. Jamie's would be okay for a boy, but if it's a girl with huge Bohemian nostrils we might have an issue. :) 

One other note--it weighs 12oz now so almost a pound! Now I will probably start packing on the pounds!

Warmth

Nothing warms up a home like the glow of Christmas lights!! The dark is no longer scary when there are small twinkling lights filling it up. Rex is basking in the light emitted from this little tree I put in our bedroom. It still needs to be decorated and I will probably add some color, but I am going to sleep with the white lights of the holidays tonight :) I am so THANKFUL for everyone and everything!!!

PS this is typed from my phone so I will be curious to see what it looks like...sweet dreams!

Do you buy this too?

I like adding "health" where possible. On Friday night Jamie and I were having delicious, home cooked Mac and Cheese :) Of course we had to go with the cheesiest, but I tried to hide the boxes from him so he wouldn't know. I made...

the three cheese version of the veggie pasta...

and this delectable whole grain original...

Jamie unfortunately saw the boxes before we ate. He questioned what we were eating and chose the whole grain--which surprised me, but to him it must have been the lesser of two evils. Do you buy this kind too or am I a freak??

Twitter??

I got Twitter just in time to see the news of Kim's divorce straight from Kourtney and Khloe. I sometimes think of funny things to tweet--but then I realize that I only have 2 "real" friends (other than my 30 close celebrity friends I follow) and it would be pointless. Anyone feel like getting Twitter?? @charlenesoukup

hmmm....

I have been in a bit of denial about my stomach starting to show--but I think it really has started to expand in the last week! Today a girl gave me a hug and said, "Whoa! You're full!!" haha--luckily it isn't just my lunch :)

Another girl was touching my stomach (don't ask--I get touched all day) and she said "are you pregnant?!" To which I replied, "if I wasn't how do you think I would feel if you asked me that?"
It continued...
"Well, are you?!"
"Good guess :)"
"You're not..."
"I am..."
"Oh my gosh! *hug*"
"Can you keep it a secret?"
"No!"

Oh kiddo's...this week is off to a better start. Last week I had some older girls saying that other girls were trying to treat me so disrespectfully that I would quit...
