Number One: State Testing since March (I'm a school counselor)
Number Two: I"M PREGNANT and I had to make sure my friends and family knew first before I blogged.
THIS PICTURE...its the best one we got of the bump and I!!!
I'm stuck in between "Is this real?" and "Omg, I'm going to be a mommy!" I'm use to being TeTe Shawn, Shawn the daughter, Shawn the niece, Shawn the granddaughter, Ms. Dedeaux the school counselor and wife Shawn (Mrs. Norwood) but soon I will be "Mommy." I've also picked up the name Lil' Mama from coworkers. Oh yeah, I'm due Sept 24 =)
How far along am I?
I'm 21 weeks preggo. Whoot, whoot!!! I'm super scared but eternally grateful to be chosen to be your mommy! ( Please be nice and let mommy sleep...that's my only request...I love my sleep) I haven't bought any maternity clothes, I can pretty much fit into my pre-baby-bump clothes expect for a couple of jeans. I'm pretty much into dresses now (HAHA). I've heard plenty of old wives or is it wise tales to last me forever. Here's a few: if you carry it in your hips it's a girl, if the bump is high its a boy, don't reach up...the umbilical cord will be around the babies neck.
The daddy:
Rubs my tummy on most days and says" hey jr" because he wants a boy..BAD!!! "I can't deal with two of you" is something that I hear on the regular. I'm kind of a handful. HAHA
How I'm Feeling?
I feel okay on today, but I've had a couple of nauseous (can you just throw up already) days. My cravings haven't been all that crazy but I guess they are still cravings. I wanted Doritos with a pickle for the longest (worst breath...EVER), smoothies from Smoothie King, and recently corn. I love all of the preggo love from everybody, you guys are the best.
I love sonogram doctors visits they make my entire day. Because we stay in the country and there's no Chic fil a I have to stop there after EVERY doctors visit. I hate when they take my blood it never goes well. We're having a gender reveal party soon and I'm sooo excited. Cross your fingers for a girl. Theres a bet in my household #teamboy against #teamgirl.
I see ya' Bean!!!
Message from mommy:
That's your daddy poking and shaking you. He just wants a kick. I say kick him already =)
Live...Laugh...Love,
Le'Shawn
