Sour attitude about clothes...
Ok, what a bummer. I totally knew that clothes would stop fitting right...But I guess I just wasn't prepared. Earlier this week, I had a meeting to go to, so I pulled out pants that have always fit, and wham, up until the point I buttoned them, they did. The evil little button just would not close over my expanding waist unless I wanted to look like a sausage stuffed into a casing...Nothing appealing about that visual picture.
Consequently, I had to revert to the old heard-of, yet never seen in action, rubber band through the button hole. I have to say, it was rather amazing, in a trashy kinda way. But it worked. Not that I am in anyway pleased about the new pants/rubberband situation. But now, I can still where my pants that do actually fit everywhere except the waist. I know that there are much classier methods for dealing with this distasteful problem. And since you all know me so well, you can bet your momma's good china that I am fully investigating and will be in the process of eliminating said rubberband from my wardrobe accessories. One of these such inventions is called a Belly Band. Looks interesting. Basically like a huge cloth headband that instead goes around your waist to cover unbuttoned pants. Interesting possibility.
Of course, I suppose I will have to break down at some point and actually buy maternity clothes, and Lord help me, Ann Taylor Loft just came out with a maternity line. I think I found the path to heaven. I am totally in love.
So enough crying about my clothes (or my body--whichever way you chose to look at it).
New craving...Any and all sour things, especially candy, but very particularly, Sour Skittles. I think I am addicted. I drive by Walgreen's, and just want to flip a u-e, or drive over innocent pedestrians to get into the parking lot. And of course, these things are impossible to find! You can find those mini bags in some places, but not the big bag, like M&Ms come in. Sigh. How crappy is that!?
Ok, for all of you have been requesting (or shall I say demanding) tummy pictures, I promise I will post (some gripping will occur though) tonight or tomorrow. I will get Jay to take the week 14 picture today, and then we will post. Promise.
Love to you all--

4D Ultrasound
Since the parents were here, and not everyone was able to see the ultrasound at the doctor's office, the mom's wanted to do the 4D ultrasound. We went on Tuesday, and truly, it was amazing. Although I do not have a way to show the DVD, here the links to the pictures from the ultrasound. The link takes you to snapfish:

Thank you, thank you
I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have sent me cards or gifts. Very unnecessary, but so kind.
Hannah, I love the Wicked onsie "Green babies rule!"
Bec, the candies are helpful, and the book is so cute. Jason reads to Bump every night :)
Again, I cannot tell y'all how much your support and thoughts and kind words have meant and continue to mean to Jay and I.
Love,
EP and Bump

Not showing?
So, today at my clinical team meeting, there were 2 girls who are both pregnant. And they are both showing--at 8 and 10 weeks. It made me wonder if I am supposed to be showing. I don't really think I am showing at all. I guess I could be delusional though. Jason is convinced that I have created a "small" baby. Like this is my fault. But this is someone who thinks Jack Sheppard Jeffries and Neo Maximus Jeffries are great names. Perhaps I shouldn't be too surprised.
No one at work knows yet, and I plan to keep it that way as long as possible. So, I will take not showing as a good sign, and not bad.
Also, I talked to a friend of mine from grad school, whom I have not spoken with in several years, and she has a little one named Liam. She and I were talking of the strategies she gives parents she works with (she works with preschool children with disabilities) and how frustrated she gets when they don't follow through, or refuse to try strategies because "I don't want my child to cry." Then she proceeded to tell me how her little one won't sleep through the night, and she is opposed to the "let him cry it out" technique. We had a good laugh over that one.
It has been said that the best behavior analysts are poor parents. Or at least not very good at following their own advice. I certainly hope I am not like that...though, I am beginning to have my doubts.
And on that note, I am one step closer to being a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst). I finished that stupid class I was taking at SDSU about a month ago (and made an A). Tomorrow, I will send off my application to take the exam, along with a hefty part of my paycheck. I won't disgust you with how much this Board is making off me, and all the other schmucks like me that need this certification. Then I will take the test in August, and please, please, I will pass!
Alright, enough about the rigors of testing and school. Some of you are finished and not desirous to read anything about school right now.
So with that, goodnight and much love from ep and bump

Hungry anyone?
So, I am 10 weeks pregnant as of yesterday. And up through this point I have felt pretty good throughout this first trimester. All of the sudden, in the past week, nothing tastes right, and in the middle of eating I feel ill. I am waking up in the dead of night feeling so nauseous. It has to be the most bizarre sensation I have ever felt. So when I say "it took long enough" you will know what I mean. I thought I was smooth sailing since I had felt good through this point. How wrong did "Bump" prove me.
I know from various things friends and colleagues have told me, that I am truly lucky to not be actually physically ill...which I am not. But I am definitely ready for more energy and for food to not be so...bleh.
Hopefully in the next couple of weeks, I will be right as rain.
Love, EP
PS--Jason bought a camera, so I will soon be posting my tummy shots over time...as much as I am loathe to do it :)
