Sorry

I promise I'm not trying to delay posting a belly photo. I just got new photo manager software and I can't figure out how to find my photos to load them to Flickr to link them to a post to show them to you. I think I may have to retake a photo and try this all again. The photo I was going to post was from 21 weeks, so I think I'll go ahead and take another one anyway because I'm 24 weeks yesterday.
Winky says hello (that or he/she thinks my uterus is a dance studio and is taking full advantage).
Okay, running out of time, but I'll post a belly photo when Kevin gets home and can take one of me. Cheerio!

The votes are in....

...and a belly photo you will get! I will take one tonight (I'm officially 23 weeks along today) and post it this weekend. No new Winky news really. It occurred to me that next week I'll officially be in my 6th month, which means in a month, I'll be in my third trimester, which means the end is coming much sooner rather than later. Holy labor and delivery, Batman! I guess I better start amassing the baby stuff soonish.

Question for my "fans"

Hello out there! I have a question for you all (all five of you who read my blog - I love you all). Would it be weird to post a photo of my protruding belly? I had someone ask to see what I look like with a little baskbetball belly, so I thought, Hmmm - is this blog appropriate? So I'm leaving it up to my readers to decide. Yay or nay. Leave me a comment. Toodles!

Closet Cleaning / Time's a-flying!

This is a posting about two totally unrelated topics.

Topic #1: Closet Cleaning
You'd think that since I work in a clothing store that I would hate to come home and mess with my own clothes (and believe me, some days I do). But usually I get more motivated to play with my clothes, organize them, rearrange them, etc. I've been meaning to clean out my closet since I've been about 3 months pregnant so that the clothes I can wear are more accessible, and the clothes I can't are put away, so I can see my options each day. Well, I finally did it this afternoon. I got rid of bag of clothes and refolded everything in my dresser and tried on everything to see what had pregnancy-belly-capacity and what didn't. Yay for closet cleaning!

Topic #2: Time's a-flying!
As I was cleaning out my closet and singing along to 80's and 90's music on the radio, I was just letting my mind wander. And it wandered right over to the fact that I'm 22 weeks pregnant today. Usually I think about how far along I am every day (e.g. only 3 more days till I'm 15 weeks along or I'm five months and 2 days along today) because I'm impatient and 9 months is a loooong time to wait for something (whether it's a deployment or giving birth). Well, apparently time is just scooting on by because I didn't realize that I'm already 22 weeks pregnant today. Last time I thought about this was a week ago. Now 7 days does not sound like a long time. But what hit me was the fact that everyone keeps telling me "Oh, it'll go by so fast" and usually I smile and think to myself "Um, it doesn't feel like it." But today a whole week going by without much thought about it made me think that maybe the 2nd half of pregnancy does go by faster than the first. Holy crap, that means birth-day will be here sooner rather than later! Argh!!!!! Help! Holy cow! Freaking out!!!

Okay, I'm calm now. Oh, and by the way, my belly button is about to pop out any day. Yuck. I don't want an outie. I'm gonna feel like a turkey timer - ding! All done baking!
