By Popular Demand

I WAS going to wait a few weeks until I found out the gender of our baby to announce the pregnancy, but since my family is so patient...

This picture has a triple meaning. Our family is growing by one, and my belly is growing. So is Kevin's, but he didn't want a picture of his on here. (jk, lover!) I hope we can get that blue spraypaint off our wall later. Hmm.

Sometimes I look more pregnant than at other times. This is what my tummy looks like after I've eaten a full meal. As you can see, the hamburger has nary a place to hide since there is a baby blocking where my intestines used to be. Currently, my baby is about the actual size shown in the picture above.
I'm 17 weeks and 2 days pregnant and due on February 18th, just three days after cousin Megan! Hooray! We are so excited to become parents and I'm so excited to deliver my OWN baby -- ask Kevin. I've been baby hungry since I became a midwife. Can you blame me?
We'll be letting you know whether it's a boy or girl in the near future. :)

So cute!! You look tiny. I'm a little worried about the spray paint though. Should you be inhaling those fumes while pregnant? Watch her Kevin!! Can't wait to hear what the baby is!!

Are you taking a vote on it? Well, if you were, I would guess BOY!

Which one is my grandbaby? That peanut lookin' thing or that hamburger lookin' thing? Dad wants to know if it will be named Ronald if it looks like the hamburger.

I just realized something.....All the Glenn children are baby hungry... Duncan, Jamie, Tanner, and Loren (Loren is because of the constant nagging from him for us to make him an uncle)...Hummmm....This is an interesting fact i just discovered. Very interesting...

Nicea said...

What a cute little pregnant lady you are! Name *him* Ronald Weasley Lewis. He'll love hamburgers and for sure bring a little magic into your lives.

annie said...

yeah, mom, magic in the form of backfiring slug-barfing spells. oh dear.

congrats jaime and kevypoo!

um, also, when auntie s (aka your mom) posted that pic of you in the hot tub, i totally thought you were pregnant. but i didn't want to ask cause, you know...what if you werent' :P

Jamie said...

Thanks, everyone! We will definitely keep Ronald and Weasley in our name bank... Maybe in the vault in the back where they will never be found.

And yes, Brittani, we're planning a home birth. I toyed with the idea of the hospital and never felt at peace until I made the decision to switch over to the homebirth midwife. Now I can breathe easy and stay relaxed :)

Jamie said...

And Nicole, if you see this, can you invite me to see your blog? I'm locked out! You should be having your baby very soon, right?

My email is jbgeebers at gmail dot com. Thanks!
