Losing my bellybutton.....set to the tune of Losing my Religion

I'm a big R.E.M. fan and while getting ready for work this morning I noticed my bellybutton was disappearing. If you listen to the song "Losing my Religion" from R.E.M. I have made my own version. Enjoy the inner ramblings of me.......


"Losing my Bellybutton"

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are in me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance for your life
Oh no, I have to go
I have to pee

(chorus)
That's me in the mirror
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my BELLYBUTTON
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I have to go
I have to pee again
I thought that I felt you kick me
I thought that I felt you move
I think I thought I heard your heartbeat

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing all of my meals
Trying to keep life good for you
Like a worried frightened and blinded new mom
Oh no, I have to go
I have to pee

Consider this
Consider this
You're cooped inside of me
Consider this
Your kick, that was
my left kidney, baby
What if I lay down will you
Ease up on me
Now I have to pee again
I thought that I felt you kick me
I thought that I felt you move
I think I thought I heard your heartbeat

But that was meant to be
That was just meant to be

(repeat chorus)

But that was just meant to be
Kick, cry, lullaby
That was meant to be
Meant to be, meant to be
Be

Feeling creative

Tonight my friend Abby and I went to our first cake decorating class at Ben Franklin Crafts. We're taking the Wilton series on cake decorating and so far the class has proved to be hilarious! I made a total mess of my workstation and our instructor was great about the whole thing. My goal is I want to be able to make an awesome cake for my baby shower. We shall see how it goes! Hopefully by the end of all 3 courses I'll be able to make a really cool cake! I never seem to have problems with my cakes tasting great, they just lack in the looks department. Tonight we learned how to make stars, shells and attempted flowers. It took me a while to get shells, but I think I have it finally. I'll spend this week practicing and hopefully by next Tuesday I'll be good to go! Fingers crossed I can get this!

20 Weeks!!

Brian and I went in for the 20 week ultrasound today and it was awesome! Wyatt was good for about the first 10 minutes, he was sleeping or just resting, but then he became very alert and gave the technician a run for her money! He wiggled a lot and wouldn't cooperate with her, so we have that to look forward to! He is 14oz and just has a super cute profile. We were at the appointment for a good hour because he was so active. He moves more and more every day and from the look of my belly, is definitely growing. We are so excited for August to get here!

A new clothing store idea

So Brian and I were driving along just chatting as we do and he is jealous of my stretchy pants I get to wear these days. I've decided it might be a good idea to open a man's version of Motherhood Maternity, we'll just simply call it Fatherhood. Easy, right? So anyway, at Fatherhood we'd offer a fine selection of men's stretchy pants so when they are sympathetically pregnant, they can grow into clothes as well. Honestly I think it's a fair solution.
