2 MONTHS LEFT!

Moving, starting school, working, caring for Xander, spending time with James, preparing for Xander's birthday party and my baby shower....I AM ONE EXHAUSTED MAMA!. It's times like these where I wish that with the twitch of my nose everything that needs to be done is done. That would be amazing!.
I am officially 7 months and becoming uncomfortable in my own skin there are times where I swear my belly is going to rip right down the middle, my back hurts, bending over is becoming a pain in my ass, good thing I've mastered picking up things with my feet long ago. I'm tired all the time and definitley reaching that point of being over my pregnanct and want this child the hell out! Ok well, not before we take out mataernity pictures.

A COUPLE OF KOOKS

A week shy of 6 months and I'm exhausted. I've noticed the more active Ziggy is is when I feel like I've just run a marathon. I've got indigestion and acid reflux on par with a trucker even when I don't eat anything spicy WHAT THE HELL nothing ruins the moment more than a nice throw up burp BLEH!, I sleep like crap because I hate laying on my left side and would rather sleep on my right or on my back, and if its not that that's keeping me from a nice nights slumber its sure as hell these acid dreams! from being in a big production musical, to going to the doctor for stomach issues and have them cut my stomach open to find there's junk mail in there!, or how about a insane snow white who likes to chop people up!? what the hell are in the prenatal vitamins they give me!.
My breasts are MASSIVE!....
which actually isn't a complaint as much as me just gloating ;-) what can I say? going up 2 bra sizes and still going is fabulous, there's nothing like the look of love I get after putting his face right between them HAHA!. Other than the complaints above...and the underwear constantly migrating it's way up my ass PREGNANCY IS GREAT! lol. No really, the kicking, rolling, elbowing, punching and even the head butting right in the cervix (you know the one that makes you feel like your about to have a baby appendage pop out) is all worth it.

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)
I am never without (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
here is the root of the root, and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide

ZIGGY KINGSLEY CALLOWAY LARSON

We're getting a lot of crap over our daughters name and getting tired of it. Everyone is entitled to a opinion. HOWEVER, every opinion has a line that you don't cross regardless of who you are in our lives and we feel a line is getting pretty close to being crossed so let me say this...

Have more respect! We love our daughter very much and we're not going to let anyone say anything negative about the name we chose for her. Each name she was given is something significant that we share in our relationship and has ALOT of heart, it wasn't just something we thought sounded nice. Her name has meaning and putting it down is not only disrespectful to us but is also disrespectful to our daughter and we don't appreciate that whatsoever and it will NOT be tolerated. This is OUR daughter and therefore it is OUR decision. Let's stick to the age old adage of "if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all".

"THE BUD OF THE BUD"

IT'S A GIRL!!!
Say hello to our daughter Ziggy Kingsley Calloway Larson!

We were shooting (no pun intended) for a boy but its ok!. Our ultrasound at the doctor was upsetting YET AGAIN due to the staff, because they were rushing us out to break for lunch our ultrasound tech she wasn't able to tell us what we were having. Seeing how upset I was and being upset himself James and I decided to go in to a 4D ultrasound place just for gender ID because we don't want to know what the baby looks like. It was AWESOME! it was later in the evening so Xander was able to come along, we got to see the baby on a 100ft screen! with soft music in the background and in a big room. Within seriously 1 minute of looking the ultrasound tech was able to tell us what we were having, it was more than worth the money. Afterwards, lovey and I shared a very touching moment in our relationship that I'll just keep that between us :) <3. My week was a little rough but this was a fantastic way to end it.

"THE ROOT OF THE ROOT"

Blame lack of posts on my laptop, for whatever reason it blocks websites or redirects me altogether. I had to use a proxy just to be able to get through!. Anyway
I'm 5 1/2 months now, 2nd trimester is AMAZING no more morning sickness or exhaustion I'm loving it. The baby is kicking up a storm, especially after I eat rainbow sherbet it's like a rave in my belly haha James can't feel it yet :( and he gets a little bummed out but he'll be able to feel soon. I'm craving corn dogs with LOTS of mustard (which grosses lovey out but I can't help it it's so good), french fries, icy cold coke, and anything sour..I'm getting hungry just talking about it!. We've had 1 ultrasound done but the awful ultrasound tech wasn't able to tell us what we were having :( and gave us a pretty crappy picture compared to the shots she had previously AND only gave us 1 copy....who does that!?!. We're getting another ultrasound tomorrow to finally find out what it is, and it'll be a relief to finally stop referring to the baby as an "it" or as "baby", be able to use his or her name, and register for my baby shower!.

"IF THEY GIVE YOU RULED PAPER, WRITE THE OTHER WAY"

Yesterday was April 18th, 2010, our anniversary. It was a GREAT day, had a lovely shower together ;), the weather was perfect, great lunch at cafe bistro despite the smell of the short ribs and polenta coming from the woman sitting beside me sending a wave of nausea, watched "Kick Ass", walked around Santana row with some pinkberry (which was OK) and ending it with some home made brushcetta, pasta and falling asleep to Julie/Julia. Like I said a GREAT day. We may have our problems sometimes just like every other couple on the planet, but we get through it all. people can say whatever they want about us, it's our life and no one knows the relationship we have or how much we truly love each other except us. "love of my life, my all, my everything" "my absolute favorite"
