Welcome to the neighborhood Britney

This just in!  My baby bump is finally slightly bigger than my rubbery side abs...

Bff and I worked real hard in the yard all weekend.  There's some serious competition in da hood. Some of our neighbors run a tight ship and they've already finished with the aerating, fertilizing, planting and cleaning of their yards.  

I gave them my best Britney Spears impression when I mowed the lawn in a half shirt, daisy dukes and no shoes.  That's hot.

Purple Nurple

Hulk's had a real tight grip on me this week.  I feel like P-double-O.  

Poor BFF.  

You can imagine my mood after feeling sick nearly every day for 41/2 months.

Poor BFF.

She just keeps buying me treats hoping they'll cheer me up.  She even bought me these mini chocolate peanut butter cups that I swear are made by the Lord himself.  And still I frown.  But she keeps trying to turn that frown upside-down.

By the way, if one more person asks if I've tried ginger tea to ease my nausea, I'm gonna give 'em a purple nurple.  

No real office antics this week either.  I got no game.  Although I did daisy-chain a coworkers' paper clips together.

My guilty pleasure has been reading Jennifer Wiener's new book called, "Certain Girls".  I'm trying to make it last, it's that good peeps.

On another note, I got a prime parking spot at the gym yesterday.  That is the sweet sweetness.

Help a sista out

We went for a ride after her race.  She really pushed me.  

No, seriously, she literally pushed me.  You see, if you want to ride with me without tipping over, you have to give faddy a little push up the hills.  I chose Lookout Mountain so that I could really sit back and relax while the Jacattack worked on her upper body strength.  

Jacattack

I watched the Jacattack's race this morning.  She finished a respectful 3rd in her field.  Not bad for someone with 2 titanium hips.

Who brought the pinwheels?

I went to a party last night.  Yeah, you heard me right, I went out.  Here I am with the party girl Errrrrrrrin.  I stayed later than I wanted to, mostly because of the appetizers.  

Who was the genius who brought the green olive and cream cheese pinwheels?  I could have made love to them all night long.   

He's single

He's single ladies.  This one won't last long.  If you're looking for a sporty spice fireman he's yer guy.  Just leave your comments and I'll be the match maker.  

Doesn't he look like fun?

Prom night!

Nothing says high school prom like Martinelli's.

Curling up next to the Fire Station

Codie and I had a great weekend.  All we ask for is a little sunshine.  

Are you serious lady?

Dear Readers,

Weird sh*t happens when you're pregnant.  

Let me start by saying that a mere 5 months ago, my period took me by surprise EVERY MONTH. I simply could not understand why on earth I've been rocking in the corner eating chocolate, crying uncontrollably for 3 days.  And then, suddenly it all makes sense.  

And now, I'm supposed to know the best cremes to buy for stretch marks, or even know where to apply that creme.  Speaking of, does anyone know a home remedy for itchy, itchy nipples? 

I think I've been getting some bad advice.  Someone advised me to just rough 'em up.  She mentioned a wash cloth and a loofah.  Do you hear yourself lady?  Oh, good idea, I'll show my nipples who's boss.  Why don't I just use that pumice stone that I got as a gift last Christmas that I've used on the bottoms of my feet?  Or wait, I know BFF and I were going to power wash the deck this spring...

Oh yeah, I read somewhere that having a baby in your belly can make you a little crazy.  I'm all, yeah right.

Burrito day

Friday at the office is breakfast burrito day.  Unfortunately, it was also "put together the map books" day.  Uh oh.  I don't think anyone will notice.  What are the chances we'll need to respond that exact map page? 

Please help

Dear virtual friends,

Yesterday, the incredible Hulk turned 16 weeks gestational age (that's 4 months for you preggo rookies).  Here's the bottom line, my pants don't fit anymore.  Any of them. 

As you can well imagine, I do not currently own any dresses or moo-moos.  I wouldn't be able to wear those to work anyway, and that is really my concern.  So I ask you, does anyone know where I can buy some "MANTERNITY" clothes?  You know, a belly band attached to some man pants? Dark blue, and they don't have to be fire proof. 

I'll get a pic soon of how these beauties fit the cut of my jibb.  

Head shot

The head shot I promised.  I think BFF is "glowing".

Gay or Euro?

Since my Virtual Friends were soooo good at naming the mystery woman, I've got another one for you all.  

Are these boys gay or just Euro?

Su-Z

Su-Z brought her 2 handsome and charming sons for a quick visit to Siesta Key.  They brought BFF and I flowers.  I'm really loving this princess preggo treatment.  That's Grandma MJ on the right.

Deliciousness

Mom likes anything with pink sugary stuff on it.  Her favorite food group is Peeps.  

Big bro went for the white and black donut, Hulk and I went for the chocolate chocolate.  The rest we left for Mimi.  She didn't bite.  Big bro and I knew that these donuts weren't gonna eat themselves, soooooo.......

Dunkin' Donuts

Day 2

Big bro woke up and said two words, "Dunkin' Donuts".  This guy loves donuts like a fat kid loves cake.  Who was I to deny his cravings?  

Hulk and I were in.  Can you believe that Mimi has gone 80 something years without cramming a donut in her face?  Unbelieveable.

Mimi leanin' back

Lookin' good Mimi!

Sunshine

Hello Granny Sunshine!

mimi style

Big Bro and I arrived late the first night and Mimi whipped up a simple meal.  

Meat Pie (I don't think I've ever had this, it was delicious)

Creme Brule after dinner

Simple and delicious, Mimi style

Hello Mimi

This is Mimi greeting her first great-grandchild, Hulkalicious.  It was real funny to hear her say that with her Aussie accent.  

Who dat?

Guess who was on our flight to Tampa?  Can anyone name this mystery woman?  

Siesta Key

Siesta Key.....aaaahhhhhh

From the left, Vinnie, Hulk and Me, BFF, Joe and big bro Gary. (Not pictured is big bro T-Rav, he's taking the pic.)

Hulk loved the ocean. BFF thinks that when I'm in the water, Hulk can hear the dolphins and whales.

My head

Dear Virtual Friends,

I'm off to Florida tomorrow.  Don't expect any swimsuit shots this time, cuz I have rubbery side abs and they don't like to see the sun...

Head shots only.  

For example, this is my head on the beach, this is my head at my mimi's house, this is my head floating in the water, this is my head eating again...get it?

To my new office mates...

This is a picture of the inside of the fridge at my new office job.  All I can say is, show your face yogurt lover cuz I heart granola and we could really have something here.  You could be the cheese in my macaroni, I could be the peanut butter in your chocolate...let's be friends, but I don't know who you are...Show your face yogurt lover...
