Camino del Rey
I found this video on one of my fav. blogs Neatorama and it totally gave me the willies. at first you are like, "okay it's a mountain path, not too bad...what't the big deal?" then like a minute later you are like "Ohhhh myyyy godddddd I just pooped my pants!!!" lol. :D Watch the whole thing for maximum use of your adult diaper.

Ma Bell Bell
My belly was looking pleasingly pregnant this morning, so I took advantage of Chuck & Sandy's sparkling bathroom and giant mirror to take this fetching self-portrait.
Originally I was just going to use it for my message board "fluffy mamas belly shots" thread, but I hoped that maybe my loyal readers wouldn't totally barf if I posted it here as well. :D

Week 22
How your baby's growing:
Your baby now looks like a miniature newborn, checking in at 10.9 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound. Her skin will continue to appear wrinkled until she gains enough weight to fill it out, and the fine hair (lanugo) that covers her head and body is now visible. Her lips are becoming more distinct, and the first signs of teeth are appearing as buds beneath her gum line. Her eyes are developed, though the iris (the colored part of the eye) still lacks pigment. Eyelids and eyebrows are in place, and her pancreas, essential for hormone production, is developing steadily.Friday, April 25, 2008
We went shopppppiiinnngggg!
I might be over-documenting this whole thing, but it's our first baby, so I'm just going with it. :D
Saoirse's first two girly outfits:
Daddy's choice (says "Daddy's Girl")

Baby Name
We've named our baby girl Saoirse Royse Tooley.
Saoirse is Irish Gaelic for "freedom" and is pronounced "sear-sha." Royse is a combo of my grandparents names Roy & Sue.
We wanted to tell everyone now so that you can get used to the pronunciation being completely different from the spelling. lol. Have fun with that! :D

Viernes Gigante!
Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!!! I'm giddy with anticipation, and so is baby! I've gotten at least two pretty substantial "thumps" from Little Hoot today. It's a pretty weird sensation, and awesome, really really awesome.
Anyhoot, we're making a whole day of it tomorrow. The sonogram is at 10:30 at the hospital, then Mark promised me Jimmy John's (a JJ veggie sub has been one of my top cravings) for lunch and then on to the doctor's office at 1pm. I've scheduled some time in the afternoon for us to spend excitedly freaking out and calling people and maybe stopping by BabiesRUs and buying something super gender specific. Then we're celebrating with a juicy steak dinner with Becky & Cyndie which I'm been looking forward to for a month now. *salivating* mmmmm! red meat, much less steak, is not something I normally eat alot of, maybe I need iron. lol.
Everything is going so fast all of a sudden! My belly popped out, baby is moving, the whole big sonogram thing tomorrow, and in a week we'll be 5 months along already! wow! This whole process is really amazing.

ZOMG!
I think someone needs to compose an interpretative dance in honor of my awesomeness, RIGHT NOW! We just went and picked up a dresser for baby's room that will double as a changing table for 35 bones! holla! I heart Craigslist so much right now. :D
We are off to the Pet Expo now. I hear they have llamas. I don't think this day could get any better. fo' real.

I am Splendiferious
I just found a Rocker/Glider w/ottoman on Craigslist for 30 bucks! We're going to pick it up this evening. I RAWK!
In comparison, the cheapest gliders at the store are like 200 for both pieces. Most kinds are around 300 for the glider, and another 200 for the ottoman.
All I need now is a long dresser, a bookshelf, and a rug. I was watching HGTV "Design on a Dime" during Ilena's nap the other day and got an interesting idea for the rug. You can stitch together shag bathmats to make a bigger rug. So I'll have to check that out and see if it would be cheaper.
I'm excited for garage sale season to start. Last year I totally ruled the land by finding a dresser for our bedroom for a freaking DOLLAR! I used black spray paint we already had, and the old glass hardware from our kitchen cabinets and Ouila! Fancy dresser that looks like it's from Ethan Allen.
I'm done tooting my own horn now. Thanks for reading.

20/20
We are officially half way there! Yay! 20 weeks down, 20 to go!
And one week till the big ultrasound! (boy or girl)
P.s. I don't think I've felt the baby move which I'm bummed about. But maybe I have and I just don't know it. I'm not really sure how you are supposed to tell the diff. between tummy rumblings and baby's "butterfly fluttering." Seems pretty impossible at this point.

Week 21
How your baby's growing:
Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. His eyebrows and eyelids are fully developed. And you can certainly feel him move. He's oblivious to your schedule, though, so don't be surprised if he starts working out just when you're settling down for the night. If you're having a girl, her vagina is formed now, though it will continue to develop until birth.Thursday, April 17, 2008

More Books for Little Hoot
I love children's books, so even before we started trying for a baby we had quite a collection. Since we found out we were expecting, I've purchased a few more that I think are pretty darn awesome. I put links to the descriptions above each cover.
Himalaya is based on a wonderful film by the same name. Check it out!
