Week 21

Today my baby is the size of....



A carrot!

this week's symptoms:

1. ice cream ice cream ice cream! yum. still on my ice cream kick. moved from weight watchers to the full out full fat ice cream.


2. sweet tooth came back. some goodies jae brought home. rainbow cookies are my fave!


3. GAS, GAS, GAS. i am the human gas machine. its gross. one time i was singing in the car and burped in between words. jae gave me the "dude, thats gross" look. most times i cant even hold anything in... so i have to let it out. its really gross. this is the part of pregnancy that is not pretty. at all.

4. Incontinence - man. i can't hold my pee in for shit. the other day, i woke up for the first time in the middle of the night to pee.


oh so i'd like to document how wonderful my husband is. we are at buy buy baby on sunday....we pull into the parking lot and right in front of the store...FIRST SPOT...what jae would call "rock star parking", there is an open space. It is labeled "for expecting mothers and parents with children".

Me: "go park there!".
Jae: "its not a spot.."
Me: Yes it is, see the lines on the floor. and look at the sign. thats me!
Jae: hmm im not sure.

He proceeds to drive by the perfect spot and park ACROSS The parking lot making our walk to the store fairly far

Jess: *stunned*
Jae: What? what if someone is like 9 months pregnant and really needs the spot?
Jess: *super stunned*

So we continue to walk to the store, past the perfect spot, which has now, of course been taken.

Jess: I bet the person who took that spot is only like 2 months pregnant. I can't believe you would rather give up that spot for some random 9 month pregnant lady you dont even know instead of your pregnant wife!
Jae: I wasn't sure if that was a spot or not. the snow was covering the floor.
Jess: Well, I told you it was a spot. So now just admit you were wrong.
Jae: What? I wasn't wrong.
Jess: you said it wasn't a spot, but now you see it is. so admit it.
Jae: (laughing) No.

so when i get to his sisters house i proceed to tell her the story. shes laughing and yelling at Jae.

of course her husband says "Well in Jae's defense..maybe he thought..."
Me: Stop right there Paul. Save it.

everyone starts laughing. Men!
