Sometimes I look at myself and am amazed at how much I’ve grown and how “normal” I’ve become in the fourteen years since I graduated high school (yikes that’s a long time!). And then I have a conversation with another human being and I realize I haven’t changed much since I was that nerdy awkward girl walking the halls. I swear my brain stops working when I have even the slightest interaction with an acquaintance or stranger. I jumble my words into one…the other day I told my coworker her necklace was “preautiful” (yup, that would be pretty and beautiful…duh). It’s very Brian Regan “take luck” (listen to this and fast forward to 1:50). And you should see me talking to servers in restaurants. It’s like George Costanza, complete train wreck. So go ahead and look at my pictures and make believe that I’m a confident, well-spoken individual. Ha!!

Since it’s the thing that is on my mind the most these days, here are some random pregnant facts floating around my mind:

-This baby makes me sneeze…everyday. Is that even possible? Normally, I only sneeze when I’m about to get sick, but since I’ve been pregnant, I’ve sneezed at least three times every day. So weird.

-I want a girl so badly that my amazing friend Jenni (also my outstanding hair stylist) jokingly keeps telling me I’m ugly, since we’ve heard people say that you “lose your beauty” when you’re having a girl because they “steal your looks”. And I love her for it.

-I’ve decided that since I want a girl SOOOOOOO badly that I’m not going to find out the gender of this baby and just wait until the end when I have a baby to cuddle with. This is incredibly unlike me since I HATE surprises, but I have an overwhelming peace about it, so I am assured it’s the right thing. Other people are having a hard time with it though. Sorry.

-This kid loooooooooooves being under my ribs, like it gets up in there every chance it has. Not my favorite.
