Week 22...Prepare Yourself

I'm just going to give it to you straight...

My shirts won't even cover it anymore!  It's that big!  I guess this means Baby "V" is growing strong!  Every week I wake up BIGGER.  Is it appropriate to wear baby tee's when you pregnant? Actually, is it appropriate ever?  I think not.

40 - 22 = 18 weeks  18 weeks = ~ 4 months  4 months = AGGHHH!!!  That's not far off!  I don't even have an outfit to bring him home in yet!  This is why we all have Mommy's.  Thank goodness Drew & I both have Mom's with a ton of baby experience.  Except my Mom will have her hands full with 2 babies - me and Baby "V".  Bless her.

Speaking of my Mom....back in the day, I wonder if she ever laid in bed when she was pregnant with me dreaming about what I'd look like and all the Mother/Daughter times we'd share....I lay in bed and dream about this little one all the time.  I imagine him running around, laughing, playing, swimming at the beach - my heart melts thinking about it.  Then I start thinking about my Mom again....and all the stuff she's put up with....specifically during the ages of 13 - 21...make that 29.  Was I worth all the sleepless nights? Draining their bank account?  The gray hairs?  The hours she spent watching me CHEER?  The whining and crying and complaining?  BUT then I think about our perfectly imperfect relationship and how it's one that only she and I share.  She'd DO ANYTHING for me.  She loves me so much and I love her even more.  So - DUH!  Of COURSE it's worth it.  God is giving me the opportunity to BE THAT SOMEONE...and that's a blessing.  So....D U H! :)  (Love you Mom!)

Here's a couple more pics....

Last night Drew and I went to dinner to CELEBRATE his AMAZING accomplishment.  He's officially Mr. Andrew Vetter, CAIA (Chartered Alternative Investments Analyst).  He worked HIS BUTT off the past year for those 4 letters and I'm so proud of him.  I've said it before and I'll say it again - hope this lil' guy gets his brains! :)  CONGRATS to my husband that I love more than anything.

And I have to share this....this is what I see when I look DOWN.  It seems so much bigger from this angle than any other!  Good thing I work from home, otherwise that would've been an inappropriate picture to take during office hours....but I would've done it....just for you! ;)

Love to all,

The Vetter's!
