THEN (week 9) and
NOW (week 33)
So I have in fact gotten huge as you can see! I think it is funny how different I look. In the first picture I am actually SKINNY! Which is a word I would never use to describe myself. Here is a list of 10 things I have lost since being pregnant and want back ASAP , Oh yes and they all get worse the more pregnant you are...
1. My lap...I can't put anthing in my lap because it has dissapeared. Which is quite difficult during sunday school when I have to read my bible and a work book thingy.
2. My memory...now granted this has been slowing leaving me for months now but when I get up to go to the bathroom and then less than 5 minutes later I ask Dan if I went to the bathroom, that's a problem.
3. My ability to sleep through the night... with hip pain and getting up to go to the bathroom you would think I am a 90 year old woman!
4. My ability to hold my bladder for more than 15 minutes....I seriously had to pee before during and after church service today, that's no right!
5. My vocabulary...yep it's true I cannot for the life of me think of the right word to say when I am talking. Dan thinks it is funny...but I feel like I am loosing my mind!
6. My lung capacity...One should not tire easily and be out of breath from walking to a car and putting a seat belt on.
7. My ability to bend over....lets just say there is a lot of grunting and growning if this is attempted at anytime.
8 Being able to stay up past 10pm...I want to watch law and order for goodness sake!
9. Cuddling with my husband...now it is still possible but usually when I get comfortable my unborn son decides that he is not and proceeds to kick me repeatedly until I change positions which is usually uncomfortable for me or Dan.
10. Maintaining a comfortable body temperature....I'm hot, I'm cold, I'm hot, I'm cold....WHAT THE HECK!
All in all I have had a pretty easy pregnancy (pshyically...emotionally it has been a nightmere) so I can't complain too much. I think I am just ready for our baby to be here. Well I wouldn't say ready. More like excited, terrified, anticipaiting, anxiously awaiting. Who can really be ready right?

I totally relate to the lung capacity thing. Now that our baby is up pushing on my diaphragm, I can hardly stand while singing in church. I'm out of breath after the first line or two.
Oh Derge you are the cutest! BELIEVE ME it is all worth it. Keep reminding yourself that! Miss you and love you!
Em
Ha ha, tell that boy to be nice to his mommy! can't wait to meet him in June :o)
You look beautiful! Can't wait to meet the little guy!
Derge: Holy pregnant mama! You are so cute...I mean really frickin' cute! I second what Em said that it is totally worth it. Look what we ended up with...Jen, Em,Curt,Mike, and now CADEN JAMES...YEA! It is more than wonderful...more than words can say.
I am so happy for you and Dan! Say Yo to the big bad boy...and remember that we still live in TC and would love to see your sorry behinds! Maybe not in the flesh...but you get my drift!
Love you, The Mama and Papa Bear Helmans
Andrea,
I wanted to drop you a quick note. It's Angie Heimlich formerly Angie Memmott. Lisa just gave me her blog address and I was just reading through several peoples blogs and I wanted to say congratulations to you and Dan!! I just had a baby boy, Andrew John, in March. He is wonderful, 7 weeks Sunday, and I so relate to your list of wants! I had horrible hip pain! My husband had to push me out of bed. It is wonderful to be able to sleep again without pain even if it's only a few hours at a time.:) Hang in there you will have your baby soon! I will pray for both of you! Snuggling with your husband does get much easier again...the problem is the time to do it is hard to find! Remember the first 2 to 3 months are the hardest and nothing will make you feel better then your baby's first smile. From one new mom to another! Angie
