22 weeks

not many milestones.

this time is kind of weird. i am obviously pregnant, enjoying being pregnant, and happy to be healthy...but there isn't much to report. weekly changes these days can be summed up in the expansion of my bump. i eat a lot, my sleep is so-so, and i have a big round belly. we have taken to calling the baby herman munstertiger, a lovely name suggested by the proud daddy. he insists that we'll say it so much we'll end up liking it enough to actually use it. i am sure that won't happen, but i did find myself saying "it puts the lotion on herman munstertiger" this morning while slathering on the belly balm.

mr. h3b and i are house hunting, which is really fun to do with the thought of having a baby in less than 20 weeks. no pressure! we are going to register at babies 'r us tomorrow, an experience i am both looking forward to and dreading. there are so many things to look at and to know...and yet people have babies with just a blanket or two, a dresser drawer, and not much else. i don't mind getting sucked into the baby buying world because it' a fun time and all, but with the walls of pacifiers, bottles, and other baby gear, it's all very daunting. but, mr. h3b loves shopping, especially when it involves not buying anything and looking through a million and one baby blankets to decide which one is the cutest.

cannot wait!
