I blame James for not blogging. Even when I'm ready and have the juices flowing, the minute I sit down James tugs and cries at my pant leg. It's sooooo ANNOYING! I don't know if my little girl could be worse than James. You know how girls are sensitive and whiny... well James is sensitive and he cries a lot and throws BIG temper tantrums and doesn't listen very well. It is emotionally EXHAUSTING.
We got home today and I tried to take some pictures of me being pregnant. I stayed clear of the camera the first time. I'm a little dissapointed because I wanted to compare weight gain, belly size, etc.
I did find my fitness/weight/measurement log. This is really sad (or really good - depends on how you look at it): Almost 9 months after I had James is the exact weight I am at now, 5 months pregnant. A lot has to do with being active - toddlers run you into the ground. And another part is that I don't eat out as much and I cook dinner most of the time w/fresh ingredients. Nothing is better than a delicious home cooked meal, except for having hubby clean up the mess, while you relax. If I weren't motivated to eat something good, I would never cook. Taking leftovers for the lunch the next day is the side motivator too. The less I eat out, the more $$ I save.
Today I went to the mall and successfully found some cute sandals. I spent a long time in Dillard's. What can I say? I love clothes and shoes. I also picked up some maternity shorts at Gap, which were 50% off! I was excited because they were originally $50. I love sales! I found some shirts for James at $4-5/ea. and found a cute jacket, cardigan and onesie for $5 and $3/ea for Madison. In case you didn't know, I already have a name for her; Madison Paige. James and Madison. I figured if I started to buy some clothing now, it might help me come to terms with having a little girl. It's not that I don't want a girl, it's just that they are so complicated and for me (a girl) I really don't get them, think like them, it makes me feel awkward. I think that is why I feel so comfortable around the boys - it's because it's really all I've ever known. I have three brothers (and an older sister), in college my study groups were mostly guys, and obviously in the utility business, it's still predominately male. So having a little girl scares me. What if I just don't "get her?"
I'm sure it's the hormones talking. Everyone keeps telling how I will love having a girl --- so I guess in a few short months we will see! And yes, she will be best dressed because there are sooo many cute outfits out there! And they don't ALL come in PINK - thank goodness!!!!

good deals! I love shopping! I just wish I had the means to do it more often :D
better start sewing that blessing dress.
I know this is a little late, but congrats on the baby girl, and good luck. I like the name, Madison Paige, very cute. Are you going for the James Madison...like the former president??
Don't worry B, My mom didn't get me and look how close we are! Of course our situation was opposite! Mom wanted a girly girl and got a HUGE tomboy! lol! I think you're really going to love having a girl. I bet she will be the opposite of James. Mike was a punk when he was a kid, and I was a total angel :) (for the most part) ;)
Hey - I think it's great that you're 5 mos along & the same weight you were 9 mos after having James. It seems like you just barely started showing that you're pregnant.
Oh - and I love the name you picked out, although - ha ha - I thought about the whole James Madison president thing too! I think #3 oughta be Abraham, George, or Lincoln. :)
