Speaking of adorable footwear...
I forgot to snap photos of these when I was going crazy with the camera last week. Thanks gramma and grampa for the cute turtle footsies!

Muy importante Shim update!
I think we have movment!
I can't be entirely sure because the descriptions I have read about how it feels are very vague.
"It feels like flutters or butterfly kisses." Yeah, I have zero idea what that means.
"It feels like a rumbing stomach." I get that one, only problem is that I'm always hungry so...
"It feels like gas." I get that one, too, but do I get wicked gas, so...
But combine those three things -- on a full belly and after an, um, evacuation -- and that's what I'm feeling. Which only leads me to believe that it's the peanut! Fun.

Props to the Aimster: PB Oatmeal
I will always give credit where credit is due, and this time I have to give a big shout out to Amy for introducing me to peanut butter oatmeal.
As you may have just done upon reading that, I have previously curled my lip and gone a little green around the gills when Amy has mentioned her favorite breakfast treat. Blame it on weird pregnancy cravings or a newfound adventerous spirit when it comes to food (yeah, it's the fetus...), but I decided to give the oatmeal thing a go.
Lucky for me that I did!
Oatmeal + a splash of milk + a spoonful of peanut butter (crunchy, natch) + a little brown sugar = quick, healthy, protein-filled, cookie-tasting breakfast deliciousness.
Holla to the Aimsicle!

Another Monday
Happy Monday! Not really, but we can pretend...
Happy belated Mom's day, too, for all those mother readers. (And mother------s. j/k) Super thanks to Kristi for the most adorable baby Uggs! Seriously, they are painfully cute. Good thing we're having a winter baby!
Since I'm sharing adorable baby goody photos, thanks to Dee, Matt and Carson for making sure that Shim is FLA-ready from the moment of birth (as it should be!):
And thanks to g-ma and g-pa Wrabetz for reminding Shim of shim's roots:
And thanks to Target for having a super-clearance on cute onesies:
Since I forgot on Friday, here's me at 18 weeks 1 day -- there's definitely something in there, but I still think it's more beer than child. Oh, and if anyone is keeping track, Shim is now 5.5" in length -- or approximately the size of a stapler. (Yes, I had a ruler and all my desk accessories lined up to figure that one out.)

Foto Friday
I forgot to take a belly photo this morning (I'll have to get on that over the weekend), so today's Foto Friday is lolcatz instead. Happy weekend!

Update: Shim at 17w3d
Exciting news in the amniotic life of Baby B, according to the daily preggo journal: we have meconium! That means the first poop (and what a poop it is!) is now a reality and only a few short months away. Ah, the joys of milestones!
Also according to the preggo journal: I need to increase my carb intake between now and the end of the pregnancy. What a bummer -- carbs are so hum-drum... (Please read with sarcasm dripping from the screen. I realize that in this case "carbs" means things like broccoli and apples and whole grains, but I'm thinking more along the lines of cheeze fries and donuts.)
Don't be jealous, but I have a 7-hour meeting to dash off to now to discuss leveraging marketing conference and product efforts to best communicate with major firms. I bet you, dear reader, find that just about as appealing as I do. O happy day.

Happy Seis de Mayo!
I missed the opportunity to post a Cinco message yesterday... oh well. Pretty subdued in our neighborhood this year, actually -- a big police presence all weekend and through the evening yesterday, but aside from a few honking horns and lots of roadside vendors schlepping Mexican flags, it was kind of disappointing. No shootings, no mayhem. What's the point of living in the barrio on Cinco de Mayo if you're not going to see some action?? Just kidding. (Not really.)
Incidentally, this whole work thing is for the birds. It was already 58 degrees at 7:30 a.m. on my drive in today. We really need to get moving on winning the Powerball. First step: actually buy a ticket. I can feel my odds getting better already!

17-week Bump
It may only be visible to me (you know, it being MY body and all), but it's definitely in there. Rounding up to 17 weeks (technically 16 weeks 5 days):
