It's time for your Lauren Daily Fun Fact!!!! Who's ready for it? Isn't this a fun little way to pass the time until my birthday? You know you like it. Just admit it.
Today's tidbit:
I don't like eating salads on plates. I much prefer a bowl. Plates make everything too spread out-y and I like it a bit more piled up and put together.

Oh my aching belly!
I hit a turning point this week - my belly is now in the way. Ugh. I can feel Max going through a growth spurt. I mean, how crazy (and painful) is it when you feel growth happen? It's kinda ridiculous. My belly is tight and uncomfortable and it is always firm to the touch and feels stretched to the max. Delightful sounding, huh? I can't bend over in half now or sit "indian style" without literally moving my legs with my hands. My legs sorta get stuck and dangle mid-air until they get some help. It's kinda sad and pathetic really. I am having trouble bending over to get Taylor out of the pack and play too. Poor girl. She can't stand up yet and help me out like little David can.
It is always somewhat awkward to move once your belly starts growing, but you hit a certain point that it goes beyond that and into just plain impossible. That's where I'm at. This is how I look at it: You hit certain big belly milestones when you're pregnant. You can complain about how uncomfortable and awkward they are and get down on yourself for being massive, fat and huge or you can laugh it off and wear it like a badge of honor. Ignore it. It's only a problem in your mind. No one looks at you and says "Wow, she's fat. I mean, can you believe how HUGE she is? She looks really awkward when she moves". You're the only one who even thinks those things anyway. And a big belly isn't about you - it means your baby is growing. He is big and healthy and strong. I choose to think the latter. It makes something that could be awful a bit more enjoyable. In the grand scheme of things, my comfort for a coulple of weeks (15 more until my due date!) is nothing compared to a healthy baby.
My next milestones? 1) Losing my feet. I can't see them when I look straight down, but if I bend a bit I can sneak a peek. Sooner or later I will hit the point where my belly is just too big to even peek around. That one is a hard day to deal with. Then you know you're as massive as you feel. Just gotta remember to smile and keep on going. By that point you only have a few weeks left anyway. 2) The pregnant woman waddle. You know, the walk that makes you want to look at pregnant women and quack like a duck. Yeah, that one.
Daily Fun Fact: I don't eat Chinese, Greek or seafood. Blech, yuck and simply gross. I'll take my American hamburger any day thank you.

I love ice cream. Cotton Candy Confetti and Chocolate Moose Tracks are my personal faves, though I eat every flavor there is.

Daily Fun Fact
I hate surprises. I have been known to become VERY angry when people have tried to surprise me. Needless to say, I think surprise parties and such are the worst idea I've ever heard.

Halloween 2009
Fun times. That's for sure. We went to our friends' house and had a little party. We all dressed our kids (and ourselves) up and went out trick or treating. Little David was diggin' it! He would have stayed out all night! He took his little pumpkin bucket up to each door and said please. It was suuuuper cute! There were 3 people who stopped to take his picture. I mean, he was ridiculously cute and all. I sure can't blame them. :) I picked our family's costume theme back in September and then slowly worked on it since then. I bought little David's outfit and made David's, Dog's and mine. They turned out pretty dog-gone good if I do say so myself!
We know a lot of people who don't celebrate Halloween because of the evil and scary holiday that it is. We decided this year that we would celebrate and be a light for Jesus to those we came across. We didn't dress as witches, ghosts, monsters or other scary things. We went with a more lighthearted approach. We laughed, giggled, had some fall time treats and dressed in silly costumes. We see nothing wrong with that. We mean no offense to those out there who don't celebrate it. Please enjoy the picture and costumes for what they are - just a silly way to pass the time.
