No, that is not a watermelon under my clothes…15 Days and holding

According to my phone application, “What to Expect.com Pregnancy Tracker” the Nugget is as big as a watermelon weighing in at about 6.5lbs.

Honestly, aside from the fact I have to sit three feet away from my desk because of my “added” watermelon and the fact Erik and I have to hug as if we are at a middle school dance, I’m feeling pretty good.

It really is hard to believe that we are two weeks away from the “estimated” due date. At this weeks doctor’s appointment – everything looks good, except that the Nugget hasn’t descended. Obviously our bonding has already begun and the Nugget is well aware that life is crazy and the bambino wants to remain safe and close to Mom.

Not to worry Erik, I won’t baby our Nugget too much once it decides to make its grand entrance, I promise. Boy howdy, I’m making a lot of promises.

Anyway, the other night I was trying to figure out what parts of the Nugget were protruding from my side and center. The Nugget likes to stick out its butt from my center then do this running motion out of my right side. That's right, not only has the Nugget already stuck its tongue out (my awkward turkey timer), it looks like he/she will be a "mooner."

So I was finally able to see the foot kick out…which if I do say so myself, was pretty darn cool; I thought for sure I would be disgusted when it happened but it was really neat. I estimate the foot is about 1.5 inches and by the estimate of where the little butt was sticking out the bambino might have some long legs. Long legs would be good…but I hope they are long chubby legs, with a chubby belly, and chubby cheeks. Alas, I just really want the Nugget to be healthy.

But who knows how big the bambino will be…we just sit here and wait, wait, and wait some more.

Luckily we don’t have to worry about the Nugget being as tall as my friend Justine’s, fur-kid, Sadie…or do we…
