a slice of pizza and a can of olives please
We usually eat pizza once a week. My favorite brand of frozen pizza is Amy's Kitchen Spinach Pizza. We then add turkey pepperoni, extra spices, parmesan cheese and a 2.25 oz. can of olives, which is a ridiculous amount of olives on a pizza of this size. We have to do it though because Ro boy is an olive fiend. By putting the contents of the entire can on the pizza, we guarantee ourselves maybe 3 or 4 olives each. Ro boy devours the rest before we can finish our slices and then he eats a slice himself.

something from nothing
Ro boy built his first creation out of legos. He's built with them for awhile but never given anything a name. Nothing ever seemed to be anything in particular either. He was just sticking blocks together. On Thursday, he made a boat and then he acted out a scenario where it was chased by a shark. When the shark bit the top of the boat, he said "Sawee, Sawee" (sorry). He he

He seems to act out a lot of scenarios with the Thomas trains but I don't really know what they are. They all move around and he has commentary that goes like," KayKay (thomas) gabble gabble gabble. Crash! Gabble Gabble Percy Gabble Gabble Bippy (Toby). I don't know what he's doing other than creating crashes, which is what the Thomas videos are about 90% of the time anyway.

Baby Bun
It's kind of funny but as soon as we found out the baby was a girl, it seemed like my stomach finally popped out to where I look obviously pregnant now. I should look pregnant as I'm at 27 weeks. However, people still tell me I don't really look pregnant but I think that's bollocks. I feel HUGE! I can feel myself doing the pregnant waddle unless I concentrate on how I walk. I'm also putting on more weight than I did with Ro boy -- or at least faster than I did with Ro boy. I don't have a scale but I just feel fatter and bigger than I did then. I think I made it to 30 weeks before really busting out with Roen.

I'm also having braxton-hicks contractions more consistently. I didn't contract that much with Ro boy -- or at least not in a noticeable way. Now, I have relatively powerful contractions now that make my back and rib cage hurt. I've had up to four in one day but typically it's only one or two. It makes me worry this one will come early. With Ro boy, I never felt like I was going to pop. I was actually at my most comfortable my last trimester, but with this one I'm already terribly uncomfortable and I still have 13 weeks to go. I'm going to get a lot bigger and I already feel close to popping. Very odd.
