So, it's a... (preg mentioned)

Boy!

Everything looked good in there, though Bruiser refused to move the way the persistent u/s tech wanted. Thus, while we saw four chambers in the heart, they need to see if next month he'll give us a better view of his ticker and his profile.

He was unabashed about letting us know what equipment he's carrying, however.

I can already sense his father's influence.

Otherwise, I'm fine. Good b/p. Bad weight gain. So it's bye bye huge bowls of chocolate ice cream. Hello fruit. It's cool; I've been feeling a bit of sweet overload. And I'm no longer craving bacon. So hopefully I can get back on track.

Not that I really care. I've decided next spring, I'm going to start training again, either for a sprint tri or a 10 K or mini-marathon, whatever feels best. That and nursing should take care of this baby fat.

It finally seems real, seeing that strange cross between a cute kitten and Skeletor sloshing around in that sea of white noise...

Ah, congratulations indeed!

Sorry about the ice cream thing, at least for now.

Just imagine having a big wonderful bowl of maple bacon ice cream after your successful marathon. ;-) And yes, that's really a flavor, and yes, I loves it.

I have always wanted to write this:

That's fantastic news, Shinejil! I had to chuckle when you compared his... boldness to your husband :)

Yay~yay~yay~yay~yay!!!

Congrats on the boy having boy parts! :)

And yes, that will take care of the weight gain. I gained 50 lbs with each baby (holy shit, 150 pounds!) and I always lost it by just focusing on losing it and not eating like I was still pregnant.

Again, congrats on the healthy baby boy!

One would hope he'd be a boy, with a name (however temporary) like Bruiser. ; ) Congratulations!

Congrats!

How about a switch from chocolate ice cream to frozen yogurt? Woman cannot live on fruit alone.
