Finally!

Instead of just the 3 people who read this blog, now the world knows! WE ARE PREGNANT.

I am so glad the word's out because I was losing my mind a bit. I don't own enough baggy sweaters to hide this ever-growing bump that's turned into a mountain. I can't even see my feet and I'm only 15 weeks. I feel like Homer Simpson and I'm scared for week 34.

We wanted to do something fun to share the news so we turned my 35th birthday and our housewarming into a "Surprise, we're pregnant and having a girl!" party. Jonathan billed it a traditional surprise party for me, but the surprise was on everyone else.

<Insert self-satisfied smirks here>

Since our friends and family are so good looking, we made a little video to share the good news.

And here are a few pics from the event. I was inspired by pictures I saw from the Golden Globes so I created a photo booth (read: Alyssa created a photo booth) and everyone seemed to enjoy dressing in my past Halloween costumes. Sexy Hermione and Sexy Raphael the Ninja Turtle were hits. Jonathan's Michael Jackson jacket was also huge.

Special thanks to this guy for taking pictures and filming the video! Mel Yacin, everyone. Available for bar mitzvahs and pet birthdays.

Another finally! event occurred: I worked out. Tonight, in fact. Because I am a hoarder my mother's daughter I've saved my soccer t-shirts throughout the years and I looked positively ridiculous with a giant belly protruding from a soccer t from 1995. On one hand, it's good this lady lump didn't happen then. On the other hand, I should just stick to blogging. Jonathan was trying to "train" me and I was trying to do everything but. I am sure the residents in our building had a good laugh at my expense as I was struggling to lift 5 lb. weights. Jonathan kept trying different motivational phrases such as:"Okay, so the baby is crawling past you and is about to get into some bad stuff so you have to bend down in a squat, pick up the baby, and bring her up to your chest." You know what? No. No I do not. You know why? Because my child would never do such a thing--forcing her mother to work out. That is cruel. and this child? She's an angel.
