Little O' This, Pregnancy

Over. So Sad.

We watched the final episode of season one of Prison Break last night. All I am left with is a Wentworth Miller shaped hole in my heart. We went to bed after the finale and I had a vivid dream where I was a fugitive and on the run with Steve. We had to dodge the fuzz at every corner and hid in large crowds. Then I woke up to the sound of Avelyn giving her 6:30 am shrieks. I have made a delightful discovery about her sleeping habits, though. Normally I would simply begin my day at the onset of her good morning coos/screams but if I pick her up and wrap her up under the covers next to me in our bed she will usually fall back asleep for a few glorious hours. This is a delicious development and the past few days have had late starts to them, which I sure don’t mind.

In other late breaking news I gnawed off all of my finernails tonight into jagged, rusty stumps. I have been a nailbiter since I was 2 years old but have recently been a good girl and kept the tantalizing tips of my hands away from my mouth. Until one of my nails snagged, that is. If one goes, they all go. Now they hurt and I can’t open ziploc bags without wincing.

Just for fun, let’s laugh at what a boat I was while pregnant:

Holy shnikees.

I have 7 pounds to lose until I am back to my (not so svelte) pre-pregnancy weight. This is good. I am vowing to get down to 80 lbs before I get pregnant again so that when I gain my inevitable 567 pounds of baby fat it won’t be so traumatic.

I would post a recent postpartum “look at me now!” photo but am presently nestled on the couch wearing blue striped flannel pants and an extra large fleece jacket; my hair is unbrushed and my zits are unconcealed.

Has anyone lifted season two of Prison Break off the internet who would be willing to burn me a dvd copy? I will bake you cinnamon buns in return for it.

  • Hey Amanda,
    You don’t know me – but I stumbled across your blog one day, found it quite witty and enjoying and (I hope you don’t mind) have been an avid reader ever since! I just wanted to let you know I share in your Prison Break obsession and for your enjoyment, check out this website: http://www.allfg.org It allows you to watch current episodes of lots of different shows w/out having to download them. Hopefully this will catch you up to speed on the current season!

  • Hohoho!! That’s a sweet gift, there, Karmyn. Amanda, you look fab! I love the preggo belly. I totally felt the same way when season 1 ended… I’m so looking forward to watching Sason 2 all at once, on DVD, instead of week to week. I couldn’t hack it!

  • Your fingernails are rusty? That’s odd.

  • Oh my goodness. You were so darn adorable with a pregnant belly. I love that photo with all the bellies.

  • I can’t believe that we are cuddling all of those precious babies now! Amanda, you’re looking great except, I agree with Jen-rusty fingernails? that’s definitely odd.

  • You were hot when pregnant (as were we all :) ), and you’re hot now!

    I didn’t notice the rusty nails this morning :)

  • Oh please. You’re adorable and not at all boat-like.

  • Good for you!
    My baby is four years old and I never got back within seven pounds of pre-preggers slimmness. Sigh. I’ll go drink some more eggnog.

  • Hey Amanda! I’d like to see a new shot like that with you all holding those beautiful babies!
