Excuse me ladies but you've seem to blossom over night!

Name that movie????  Ok, I'll tell you.... Ever After.  I love that movie and watch it constantly.  Chad asked, you'll never get sick of this movie, will you?  Nope, I won't. I love it and can probably recite every line of that movie I have watched it that much.... it's great! Anyway, that line (the blog title) couldn't feel more fitting to how I feel right now.  One day this little guy wasn't showing and the next HELLO THERE!  People tell me I'm still small and I'm grateful to hear that but let me be honest, I don't feel it.  Last week (the last FULL week of June) my husband's family and I went to snowbird.  It seemed as though the night before we headed up there my stomach grew and showing he was/is!  My insides feel like they are stretching more than they can handle (another words, it is not comfortable) and I can't really find a position to get into that releases the pressure either so if you have any ideas I'm all ears!  However, my outsides feel pretty good.  I think I still have more room to stretch before I start to feel like my skin is going to tear a part and I know I still have a lot to grow.  I'm not complaining.  :)  I still have been pretty lucky!  I'm not one to LOVE all the moving inside, it's not very comfortable for me HOWEVER, I do like to feel his little body!  It really is the coolest thing.  I will rest my arms where I know he is and I can just feel his little legs move across my arm.  Even though I've realized a long time ago that this is really finally happened and it's real that I'm going to have a baby I haven't had much sign of it all.  Now I can feel his little growing body and it's pretty amazing.  It isn't comfortable when he is having a dance party inside my poor bruised body but it's amazing to see him squirm around!    I've never felt so... I can't even think of the word I'm looking for... in my life!  I'm not a lover of pregnancy and I'm not complaining, I PROMISE!  I'm just not one of those people who LOVE being pregnant and I knew even before I got pregnant that I wouldn't love it BUT BUT BUT (before all the advice and everyone telling me to just hang on because I've still got the worst part of the pregnancy to go through blah blah blah)  I wouldn't change being pregnant for the world and when the time is right I will do it all over again because the idea of having a family is overwhelming and pretty awesome.  I know it will be hard, I'm not that naive.  I know I'll miss out on a lot of sleep and my life will change drastically but I've lived my life for me for 31 years (well, you know what I mean) and I'm ready for the drastic change!  I couldn't ask for a better one.  I'm so excited for this little guy to get here it's unreal.  For the first time in my life I don't care how fast the summer goes, the faster the better!   However, I am enjoying the heat!  I LOVE the summer!  I am sure everyone else is ready for me to not be pregnant too because of how much I talk about my little man.  I try not to bug people too much with my excitement but I can't really contain myself sometimes.  So, while maybe I should be sorry for talking about it so much, I'm not :)  So I won't lie to you and tell you I'm sorry.... because I'm still not. hehehehe  I'm excited!  You only have your first baby one time so I'm going to talk about it!
So my last doctor visit was ... a visit.  :)  We got to see our little guy for a split second. I was wishing for a picture but didn't ask the doctor so he didn't give us one.  He looks like he is growing right on track.
So far they estimate that he is 2.8 lbs.  and about 14 inches long (I could be wrong about that one, I've already forgotten.  Oops)  I did notice that his little bald head we just that, bald but I  guess I didn't have time to look really!  I saw his back really well and well, it's a back but it's my baby's back so it was cool!  He is in the exact position I thought he was in.  Well, he is in the exact spot I thought he was in; his head is down and his little legs are right at my ribs.  He is almost tall enough to kick away at them.  I can wait for him to grow that much more because he is a serious kicker and I'm sure it won't tickle!  I measure at 28 weeks so I am a little smaller than  where I'm supposed to be but I'm sure these last couple weeks have fixed that...  He, however, was measuring at about 30 weeks which is right on schedule and everything looks good!  I have 2 months left and I have TONS to do....  His room is coming along too slowly but it's almost there... his crib is almost refinished, I'm pretty proud of myself on that one and his dresser/changing table???  Well, that is a different story.  I was trying to refinish it and make it the same color as the crib which really would have been the perfect color for the thing but the stain I have been using just easy enough for me to use and it looks terrible so I'm back to the drawing board.  Any suggestions??  The room is all over LIGHT gray with two navy blue stripes around the room, one on the top and one a little lower than half way around the room.  Only two of the 5 walls have white and pinstripes in between the navy boarders... so mostly the room is a light gray and the crib is a dark red mahogany!  Red and a goldish mustard yellow are the accent colors I am using and I don't want to make the dresser/changing table those colors.  I don't want it to be too bold because I don't want it to stand out more than anything else and it will if I do it any of those colors.  I was thinking about a really dark gray and antiquing it.  Anyway if you have any suggestions??  I'm all ears!  I have lots of updates to do.  I haven't been very good at keeping my blog updated.  All I ever want to talk about is my baby and I don't have much more to say than I already have so I don't update.  I should show you my projects but I don't want to post until I'm nearly finished with EVERYTHING! Well, that's all for this novel :)
