CrockBaby Punch Line: No Pictures For You

ARGH!!!!! I just took a whole bunch of pictures of all the cute little baby clothes we have been given/bought so far. The camera works great now (thanks for the drawer full of dead batteries, babe.) Guess what? I can't find the cord to plug the camera into the computer and download the pictures!!! And we all know James was the last one to use the camera. See what I have to live with? It gets better...when I called him on his cell to see if he knew where it was, I heard his cell phone ring. I found his cell phone on top of the refrigerator (???!!!), but unfortunately, no camera cord was with it. So, yet again, NO PICTURES FOR YOU. This is becoming the punch line of the blog and not a very good one, I know. I asked my grandmother if she likes reading our blog and she said "When there are pictures." She can't be the only one who feels the same way, so please accept my apologies. I'll throttle James when he gets home tonight. He better not lose CrockBaby under a pile of dirty clothes or guitar magazines when he's born (even if he does, he's going to be the best dad ever).

I have been extremely busy with work and school (and James' festival last week-end). I have final exams next week so this will probably be my last post until Memorial Day week-end (that's the week-end of May 26-27 for you Brits). I can not believe I am almost done with the semester. I don't know how I did it all. I am looking forward to having a bit more free time this summer to start nesting and prepping for our wee one. Still no movement from the little pea, strange considering he is huge! My belly seems to have doubled in size yet again since last week. It is also hard as a melon. CrockBaby is now 18 weeks, 5.59 inches from crown to rump and 6.70 ounces - check out this chart for Brit-friendly measurements as well. I keep staring at my 6 inch ruler and cradling it (James thinks this is extremely strange). I can't believe my baby is already so big, or long anyway (longer if one were to straighten his legs out!) It's amazing I have this huge thing inside me and still haven't felt it move (particularly because we know CrockBaby is a gymnast). I have to remind myself that he still weighs next to nothing as he has not developed body fat yet. I am told I should feel him move any day now though. I have felt an occasional vague fluttering in my stomach area but it could be gas! Until I feel definite movement, I am going to say I have not felt him move.

Anyway, I need to go get some studying done as I had to work at the accounting firm today (and tomorrow). I promise to start posting regularly again in about 10 days. If we can find the camera cord over the next few days, I'll at least spare 10 minutes of study time to post the pictures of the tiny baby clothes for you.

Hope you all are great! Stay well. xxoo
