The Beans Have Been Spilled

My parents were out walking the other day and my mom referred to the baby as a he so now my dad knows too! Oops! We did manage to go 6 1/2 weeks without him finding out though! It was a valiant effort but I knew he would certainly find out before the baby was born. He seemed somewhat disappointed but it definitely makes things easier for the rest of us. Now I can post whatever I want on my blog! Not that my dad reads it but just in case he ever wanted to, now he can! Here are some pictures for you.

Don't I look super strong?!

24 weeks

The baby's room wall! It only took me like a week. Now what to do with that ugly door?

Jake Jr.?

Lately I've been wondering a lot what our baby is going to look like and I stumbled upon this website called makemebabies.com. You put your face and your partner's, friend's, or a celebrities face and they mash them together to show you what your child would look like. I tried a couple of different pictures of Jacob and me to get the best result. Some of the kids were really creepy looking (think How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days) so I really hope that is not what our son looks like. This is the one I picked that I think might actually be a possibility. Minus the dark hair. You would think they would make him a blond but hair color does not seem to matter. One of the results even had red hair. Anyway, here he is! I have no idea why he is wearing a pirate hat.

Fresh and Easy Rocks My World!

I've had panic attacks before I was pregnant but I am definitely getting them more often now. If I am in a place that has too many people and too much noise, my body just freaks out. I have no control over it which is really annoying. You can see the problem this poses when I go to the grocery store. Normally I go to Walmart which is probably the busiest grocery store, but I have been searching for an alternative to avoid breaking down in public. There is a Fresh and Easy right down the street from my house so I figured I'd try there. I'm so glad I did! You were right Jackie, it's great! There was hardly anyone there, I got a shaded spot right in front of the store, and the prices are pretty similar to Walmart. The meat was a little more expensive but all the other benefits balanced that out. The produce is great, they have more healthy options, and they played good music! I was singing along. It only has self checkout (they help you bag your groceries) so I got to scan my own items. It was fun for me because I like to hear the beeping noise. :) And, they even have $5 off coupons for next week. How great is that?! I will definitely be back next week. Who knew I'd actually enjoy going to the grocery store?
