pics of my sleeve project

Jesse has done all my tattoos but one. The calalilly on my chest was done by Don. Don is the guy who has taught Jesse, or just Jesse's boss at the tattoo shop. The whole arm is a work in progress. We have to wait until the baby is here and I quit breastfeeding before we can finish it. We are going to put the green, checkered flames up my arm behind the other two skulls. Then add some stars and dust around the fire. Then we are done! I'm sure he'll want to start something else after that lol.

So this is my first profile picture. I am 14 weeks today. Which to normal people is 4 months. Keep in mind, I have always been a big girl, so I look further along than I am. The baby book says I should be able to feel the baby move in the next few weeks!! I'm really excited about that!

So, I have to throw in this story. Jesse has been working at the tattoo shop regularly for the last 6 months or so. He's been working on this full sleeve on this girl for a couple of months. Well, she has a little ( well, 'little' isnt the correct term, big, mean, and pesky, fits more) friend who is so freaking annoying! Jesse was talking about us being pregnant and this annoying girl overheard. The next time she came in she said, "Wow you look like you're about to pop!" ( I am in complete state of DISLIKE for this girl now...working on hating her) I turn around and say, "I'm 8 weeks pregnant, but thanks for that." She turned around and walked away. Look, I know I'm not small, and I know that I look probably 7 months pregnant, but I am ok with that. Do you know why I'm ok with that? Because I have Jesse's baby growing inside me. Not some jerk who treats me bad. But a wonderful man, who has wanted to be a Daddy since he was a teenager (not just knocking someone up but he wanted the family and the life). I know he will a be a phenomenal father.

Just figured

I'd jump on the blog band wagon. I thought maybe I'd steal an idea from Aunt Kim and see the postive in everything. In case you haven't heard the news, Jesse and I are going to have a baby. I hate saying "I'm pregnant" because it isn't just me, its both of us. And I feel so old when I say "I'm pregnant". The sentence leaves a weird tast in my mouth LOL. Dont get me wrong, I am overjoyed that I'm on my way to be a mommie. And I couldn't have picked a better daddy for my kid. ( I truly believe that I had nothing to do with us being together... it was a God thing)

He's already talking about going to football games, he even wants to be a coach! I mean the baby isnt even here yet and he's talking about being the football coach or the softball coach. He will be great!

We find out the sex of the baby the end of october. I'm hoping for a healthy baby. I read though that boys are easier. My experience working at the youth center has made me want boys. lol. Girls are just catty, I do think that if i have a girl, she wont be the typical girl. I already have thoughts of how I'm gonna dress her, blue jeans and chucks! lol

The only crappy thing is that Jesse is going to miss a huge chunk of the pregnancy. He's going TDY for a few months, and will barely make it back by the due date (march 22 2009) . The only upside to that this TDY will pay off all our debt. which will make it easier for us when the baby gets here.
