It's 2011!!!

well its finally 2011!  What a TREMENDOUS year this will be for our family! :)
Our Baby Rodgers will be born on June 6th, and maybe a September wedding could be in the works.... (spoiler!)

Ordinarily I get irritated with the people that constantly rave about how awesome and perfect and blah blah blah that their lives are...but I kind of understand now.  When you think things couldnt get any better, and then they DO...sometimes rambling about it cant be stopped! lol

Ryan and I are getting SO excited to meet the baby, we received TONS of adorable baby things for Christmas. my mom got us both our own diaper bags full of baby necessities, and Ryans mom got us baby clothes and the sweetest softest blanket that I can see myself holding the baby in!  Getting all these baby clothes and putting them away is the most crazy feeling... They're so small and delicate and soft, and when I pick them up and hold them I find myself drifting into a daydream imagining how warm the baby's belly will feel and how soft his or her little hands will be, sticking out of the tiny sleeves......... gotta pause the blog to daydream in the nursery for a few...



Aaaaaaand Im back. :) another super-neat thing is that I've felt the baby move finally! I was worrying that it would be FOREVER...but at 18 weeks, i've felt little popcorn like pops, which make my heart race. Seriously, it blows my mind.  Ryan and I have started reading and talking to the baby, and Ryan absolutely cracks me up when he talks to the baby.  He lays down by my belly and usually starts with "Hi baby, its me, daddy."  then he rambles off about whatever it is he wants to talk about...aliens, political debates, sports, his family..and of course how much he loves the baby. adorable!

Something else- while I've been pregnant, things have changed, obvi.  I cant (and honestly dont feel like) go out and party/drink/stay up late, and it's really shown me who my real friends are and arent.  Im RIDICULOUSLY excited to spend some time with a certain amazing bestie of mine to ask her to be our baby's godmother... it is actually because of her that I pursued a relationship with Ryan... we cant wait to ask her :)

Lastly- a list of ridic cravings that Im trying to avoid eating WAY too much of, so maybe typing them out will help relieve them....ha!
cinnabon - pickle juice - pbj on wheat - salami and potato salad sandwiches on crossaints - pierogies - loaded baked potatoes 
these foods could be eaten at any time of day in my opinion, its 10:30am and id be fine with a fatty baked potato with pickle juice on top. mmmm!
