Oi, It's a Big Boy!


We're at 22 weeks and today I reached a major milestone...  I can no longer button my regular pants.  So, here is the "fat belly" picture that was requested by the birthday boy.  I think the camera is hiding a few pounds, because I feel much bigger than this looks!  The baby is now the size of a spaghetti squash and weighs almost a pound.  I read that he now follows a sleep pattern (sleeps 12-14 hours a day, lucky kid!) and is starting to look like a miniature newborn.  I've been talking to him whenever I'm home and I feel like I'm getting to know him through his kicks.  Plus, I think he really likes Olive Garden, because it's pretty much all I can think about. I have a thesis defense (just the proposal) tomorrow morning, so I hope he lets me sleep tonight!

You're not going to believe this- the baby just tapped out, "Happy birthday, Uncle Sean!" in morse code.  Impressive.

Mmm.  I smell pizza.  Going to go eat.

  1. Erin you look great! I cant wait to watch your belly/baby grow. Make sure you use lots of coco butter lotion on that belly so you dont get stretch marks...I swear by it! I am getting excited to see my first nephew on my side!!

    Happy Birthday to your brother.

    PS: Dixie send you her love :)
