inspired by brittany's post about her own pregnancy stats, i offer you some of my most FAQ's about this pregnancy, and way too much information for your own good...weeks pregnant: 30
pounds gained: about 35 plus at this point
number of babies inside: just one
boy or girl: no clue, but i think it's a girl
do you want to find out?: yes, we've tried (we've had three ultrasounds) but the tech can't see anything because of crossed buddha legs. at this point, we may just end up being surprised which is fine by us.
are the kids excited?: yes, very. especially joey. he's quite taken with the belly and the "bee-bee"
do you have names picked out?: yes. catalina redwood and teddy stonewall. and no, we're not kidding, and no, we're not changing our minds.
are you worried that teddy will hate you when he becomes a man and his real name is teddy? shouldn't you just name him ted?: no. we're not worried. there are many crazy and cruel things about this world, and if teddy's name is the biggest worry on his list, we'll consider him lucky. he can call himself whatever the hell he likes and we won't care. but his name is going to be teddy. and we'll always call him teddy bear. even in front of his partner.
will your daughter's name really be catalina catalano?: no. catalano is my maiden name, remember silly? it will be catalina redwood gilbert.
why redwood and why stonewall?: because. because we likie.
you're huge! do you think you'll make it until feb. 11th (due date)?: i don't know. i'm measuring at 32 weeks. i was informed at my appt yesterday that i should expect another big baby (joey was 8lbs. 13 oz.) which is fine by me. because i like fatty babies. i was 10 days late with gray and about a week early with joey so at this point who the heck knows.
how are you feeling?: just fine! except for when i can't walk. or poop. or during the contractions. or after 6pm.
what time do you go to bed?: around 7:15pm. it seems i can't make it much past that. but then i wake up around 12 or 1am and start my day. thank god for vampire books.
so that's the skinny folks! i'm hanging in there, enjoying the ride. i'm looking forward to meeting my sweet one, breastfeeding, and drinking again (kidding, but not really).

7:15? Dude, that is being a little generous. I would say about 6:30pm is your bedtime. And just in case you haven't noticed- you are a vampire. There is no other explanation for getting up at 12:00am to "start your day". It also explains why you're so good at counting. "Two. Two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, ha ha ha."

i love this, and you. xo...A
I agree I am missing the holiday cocktails this year, but it will be so worth it in the end!
your mamma light is glowing bright and you look amazing! happy 30 weeks :) *preggie hugs*
Love it. I have been wondering some of this stuff. But seriously, do you really start your day at 1am?
And are the Vampire books you speak of the Twilight series?
you look fantabulous.
xox
look at you, beautiful! those names are mighty fine. i'm a solid fan of both.
i didn't realize you had comments back on! i've been reading in the reader and hadn't a clue.
you are so outrageously gorgeous.
and i la-hove the names. love.
you are beautiful.
what wonderful photos!
and the names, love them too. so fitting for your little crew.
been thinking of you mama/doula, send sending warm heart-full thoughts.
I can't stop laughing about the question and response to Catalina Catalano... agh! I am laughing so hard I want to slit my wrists!
"do you have names picked out?: yes. catalina redwood and teddy stonewall. and no, we're not kidding, and no, we're not changing our minds."
I love that you have picked names and are going to stick with them no matter who says what!!!! Both names are perfect for your clan!
Love Vinnie (aka Cousin)
who is asking these ridiculous questions??? i'm happy to know the answers... but man! you're not huge. you're perfect.
I so heart you, you do know that! The names rock! My godfather's name was Teddy, no kidding! He was the sweetest most adorable man!
I am LOL at your hubby's post. I miss you all and hope to see you soon.
Love you,
Tab

it took me long enough to come by to see your snarky post:) (contractions every moment I sit at this computer!! ouch!)
It's funny what people want to know and which comments you get over and over. I am personally ready to never talk pregancy again. Can't I just fast forward please?
Unfortunately me and my clan have no commitment in the name department. It is nice to hear the surity of your naming decisions. mama likey, although it doesn't matter if I do one way or the other, which is also very satisfying to realize.
okay, back to the laying down and stuff.
