The preggo belly at 21 weeks (taken a little over a week ago). Mind you, at this point in Alex's pregnancy I was still wearing my own clothes. Oh dear. Any guesses on how ginormous this little man will be?!?!?And yes, my belly button has already popped. That's the life of a pregnant, 80 year old man with a hernia ;)
When my sister, my cousins, and I were much younger my grandparents took the 4 of us to the Cincinnati Zoo. My grandma brought along the camera and snaps pics all day. Lots of pics, if I remember correctly, more pics than a roll of film should take. Pics of the animals, the four of us riding the elephant, etc. I don't remember exactly how it was discovered, but it turned out that there was no film in the camera. This memory may actually be better than the memories that were "lost" on that "roll of film." We all (grandma included) still have a good laugh whenever we remember that story. Well, Christmas morning I totally brought my "A game." The camera was charged up, ready to go. I was snapping away as the Bugs opened their gifts, capturing every moment. Then I happened to notice that my camera said "no CF card" after I would take a picture. "No CF card," as in, where's your memory card you idiot, none of the pictures your taking are being saved. Oh, fabulous. SOOOO, what I did manage to catch was the Bugs opening toothbrushes and fruit snacks, which were left in their stockings. Now, if you know me you know that I'm the most organized, detail oriented person you'll ever meet (Bahahahahaha!) SOOOO, I'm going to blame it on the preggo brain. Surely that's it. This baby boy must be sucking out every brain cell I have left...
