What. Happened. Here?

Pre-Pregnancy
No baby bump. But still a tendency to flock towards the food. Gotta love a roasted marshmallow. Little did I know that in a few short months this marshmallow fetish would evolve into a full-blown Lucky Charms addiction.


3 Weeks
Yes, at 3 weeks pregnant, before I had any idea there was a little somebody inside me, I was rolling with the big dogs launching myself down a massive slip -n slide. Like my daddy always said, "Make memories. Live hard." Poor Newbie.


4 Weeks
At our good friends' wedding. The night before we found out we were pregnant. No wonder I felt so icky during the limo ride...


Still 4 weeks
I just can't pass up the opportunity to post a pic of me and the Hubs post-Hannah Montana HoeDown Throwdown at our friends' wedding reception. Between that and the Thriller routine we pulled off, Newbie already knows some seriously groovy dance moves.


5 Weeks
First came the news.


Then came the reaction to the news.


8 Weeks
There was a tan and a trip to the Caribbean. And pirates. And apparently I still felt like a bathing suit was do-able. *sigh*


Newbie at 8 weeks...what a little gummy bear!


16 Weeks
Oh, 16 week baby bump. You cute little thing. You are greatly missed.


20 Weeks
At our 20 week ultra sound when we found out Newbie was a BOY!

Newbie at 20 weeks


21 Weeks
I had a small love affair with cranberry sauce for a good three weeks after Thanksgiving. This was the first batch with a side of baby bump.


23 Weeks
Christmas time when I thought I was huge, (GUFFAW!) and we discovered Newbie was the size of the Hubs' snowboarding Santa.


27 Weeks
The glorious week when I gave up on trying to pull myself together and opted to wear the velour suit to the grocery store. Not one of my finer pregnant hours.


33 Weeks
Aww...still a fan of Opie and still fitting into my maternity clothes. Those were the days.


36 weeks
It was at this point becoming evident that I was going to severely regret all of those Dairy Queen drive-thru runs. The only thing is, it's hard to regret it when you are still preggo and want an Oreo Blizzard RIGHT NOW.


37 Weeks
Full term and rooting for that little boy to make an appearance before I pop. Soon. Please.


Sorry to keep you hanging in suspense, but there are no 38 week pictures yet. Because the men's basketball shorts and messy pony tail I'm sporting today don't make for great pregnancy belly documentation. So you'll just have to visualize last week's picture plus: one Oreo Blizzard, a 1/2 ounce per day gained by Newbie, and the inevitable effects of sitting on the couch for a week because waddling is a lot of work. Waala! There's your 38 Week mental picture. =)

And now we wait. Pre-pregnancy to Dairy Queen domination has been a long exciting road. I'm ready to get off this bus and meet my baby boy! And maybe work out. A little. Because picture 1 in this post to picture 18 was a little bit of a shockER. Eh, there's always Spanx, right?

Update: After browsing through the above pics, I just have to ask myself: "What the heck is wrong with a little make up every once in a while, and will you please do something with your hair?!?!" That's all.
