Prego Picture

I got this picture from Lauren's blog and thought I would show how gigantic I am. This was taken at Jenny's Houston baby shower. Jenny is about 7 weeks behind me which is fun. Everyone thought Lauren was glowing, but it was not a 3rd baby on the way - just sweat! I am way bigger than this now. This was about a month ago. The Subway sandwich cashier asked if I was carrying twins. I can't breathe. I need oxygen. Julianne thinks I am an invalid. I just cannot wait to have this baby. I don't care if she screams all night long for 3 months - I just want her out of my body. OK, I may regret saying that. God, please give us a good baby! Healthy first, then a good baby is what I mean of course...Looking back, Julianne really was a "good baby." She just had some medical issues that prevented her from sleeping (reflux and horrible ear infections). The ear infections ceased completely right after her 2nd birthday once we got her tubes. We should have had tubes around her first birthday, but decided to see how the year went - big mistake, but you live and you learn. Granted that was 2 years of not sleeping, but that is behind us. She still has reflux and it still wakes her up, but she knows now that "the burn in her throat" is just food or milk and can go back to sleep. Otherwise, she really was happy and very easy to play with/distract/etc. Being the 1st child, she is pretty demanding of our attention....saying, "Wanna play with me?" about every five minutes....but if we tell her that we can't or that we are busy she can play very creatively alone for a good long time.

Yesterday she said 2 funny things:

To my Dad, "Papa, do you wanna play for heaven's sakes?!?!"

To Justin,"My name is not Julianne. It is Big. Sister. Chatigny"

We do have some big changes in our family that I can report more on after this Friday.
