ninja.

well brandon has always wanted a ninja and i think he may just get one. she's practicing her moves daily, hourly really. my stomach looks like it has a mind of it's own. brandon and i sit there and just watch it (her, i guess). we can feel hard parts we're just not sure what we're feeling. i think i keep getting kicks in the rib cage. it seems she's trying to make more room in there. i try to sit up a little straighter to give her some space and make me a little more comfortable too. so our little ninja will be here in about 8 weeks. today someone asked me when i'm due and i answered "next month." THAT was weird and makes me very happy. not just b/c i'm getting a little (read, A LOT) more uncomfortable, but we can't wait to meet her.

since it's only about 8 weeks away i've started thinking about things i'm DYING to have that i haven't had in the last 32 weeks. here is what i'd like so far:
** sweet tea (HEB, Chik-Fil-A, McDonalds)
** turkey sandwich
** coffee. caffeinated.
** sushi (from hikari)
** white wine
** as much chocolate as i want

went to the dr. yesterday and everything still looks great. i gained 4 lbs which puts me at a total of 20 lbs. up to this point. i don't have to prick 4 times a day just twice. i had 2 pieces of pizza, cheese and crackers and M&Ms for lunch today and i was 84 2 hrs later. i just need to be under 120. should have had more pizza. :)

AND we have a middle name... sophia!
so finley sophia hawkins, see YOU in a couple months.
