You may now peer into my uterus.


For some reason, the really cute widget that lets you see the alien baby in my uterus right now is being CRAPPY and it’s not working properly in the post. “No Widget Found,” it stupidly proclaims, when I try to include it in my post.

So click over to the website and look at my sidebar so you can Peeping Tom my uterus.

And you know you want to. Come on. Admit it.

It’s official – this lil’sprout is very, very new!  The pregnancy is considered to be 5 weeks along, although the baby has only been growing for 3 weeks.  (It has always annoyed me that the extra time b/w first day of last period and date of actual conception are added.  That is NOT how old my baby is, you crazy fools!)

*ahem*

So, like I was saying, Baby Number Two is 3 Weeks old. :-D

Due dates are pretty notorious for actually meaning “this is the time of year AROUND WHICH your baby will be born.”  So, with that in mind, our official due date for Baby #2 is December 24, 2008. 

Yes.  Christmas Eve.

Please, save your groans.  If your birthday is in December and it has ruined your life b/c of the whole Christmas gifts instead of Birthday gifts/No one really cares about my birthday,Waaah! Thing, please save all your reprimands for someone else.  Someone who won’t think long and hard about mailing you a box o’ dog poop.

Honestly, I’ve been talking about mailing someone a box of dog poop for irritating me in some way or another for years now, people.  For YEARS.  And I have yet to do it!

Don’t pick Pregnancy Time to test me. 

(By the way, have I ever mentioned that I become a totally defensive, boorish, fight-picking hag when I’m pregnant?  No?   Well,  I do.)

*pause*

(Ok, so I just have something to blame my usual personality on when I’m actually pregnant.  SHUT.UP.)

So, yes.  I’ve worried a little bit that my kid will be very annoyed with me for letting Daddy “bang me and knock me up” at this time of year.

But in the end, I’m sure I will do SO MANY MORE things that he/she will hate me for.

So, I’m going with not caring about this one right now. 

Cool?  Cool.

Now give me something to eat. I’M STARVING.

    First off, congratulations again :)
    Second, I have a birthday in December, and I honestly love it. Every year until I graduated high school I got my birthday off, because of snow (except when I lived in FL, but that was K and 1st, so I don’t even remember that, xD).
    My parents always made a big “to do” for my birthday so that I knew it was special and my own, and not part of the Christmas holidays. The tradition continued with my cousin, who was born the day after Christmas. Her day was always separate, and has stayed that way :)

    Congrats again :)

    I’m like you it has always annoye me too that they count those first two weeks when there is NOTHING GROWING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING.
    And I always had a really good idea of when we conceived so I insisted on stating th actual weeks instead of that arbitrary number the doctor thought it might be. I knew my body damn it.

    OK, so you start designing your baby announcements now, make sure you’ve got all the envelopes stamped, addressed and ready to go…

    Design something digitally to send out to everybody, so you can just add all the pertinent information at the last second and then send it to your one-hour-photo lab to print …

    and you’ll have the BEST Christmas Cards ever!!! Baby in a Santa Hat… baby in a christmas stocking… cuteness, cuteness, cuteness!!!

    Sorry, I have to post again.

    I just reloaded your page, and let me tell you – it is a DARN GOOD thing that the widget isn’t really a real view into your belly! Because when I reloaded, that baby was doing some funky-ass chicken dance, and half hanging out of your uterus with so much flickering, it seemed like there was a strobe light in the womb.

    It was one of the weirdest things I’ve seen in a REALLY long time.

    My second daughter’s birthday is three weeks before christmas and since she was three we were absolutely NOT allowed to put up anything remotely christmassy until she’d had her birthday. Because, in her own words, “christmas is for everybody, but my birthday is just for me!”

    My birthday is January 7th and Emma’s birthday is January 3rd. When I was pregnant, I recall a few “friends” who just HAD to mention how much it will suck for my child to be born so close to Christmas and one even said: “I would hate to have a winter baby.” I like to think that these were driven by jealousy. But, at the time, the comments hurt. I was like: “God! I’m getting jabbed for my parenting choices already and my child doesn’t even have a full formed brain or gentials yet!” But, then I realized that I would much rather be stuck inside all day with a newborn during the winter rather than in the summer! In the winter in Indiana, you are pretty much inside all day anyway. Emma was conceived either April 29th or May 1 and we got our positive pregnancy test (very faint) on May 10th. So, I was seriously 9 days pregnant when I found out. I do think it makes for a longer pregnancy but I loved knowing so soon! Much love to your little bean!

    I have to tell you, there used to be a website where you could order poop and have it mailed to someone. They had dog, horse, pig, etc. It was hilarious!

    Apparently they had to stop doing it, as mailing poop is illegal.
    Very disappointing.

  29. #29 by Tara on April 24, 2008 - 7:39 AM

    #1 was due mid-Dec – about a week before Christmas/winter holiday. But she came early, so she was a “thanksgiving” baby, instead. I wish the same for you.

    Incidentally, my dad told me when I got preg w/#2 that “This is the time to have a baby – this is the better birthday.” WHAT??!! His birthday is Nov 27 (we were shooting for dd to be born on his birthday, but missed by three days).

    That whole comment doesn’t make sense, does it? Oh, well…this is why I don’t comment LOL

    My oldest son ( now 10 ) was due to be born on Dec. 24, 1997. He didn’t show up until 6 days after his due date, but I will tell you that had he been born on Christmas eve that I was going to name him Nick ( as in Jolly Old Saint ). That alone was the reason, I believe, that he waited to make an appearance until a day that I could’nt give him a name that had everything to do with Christmas and nothing to do with being who he really is!

  32. #32 by Angie S on April 24, 2008 - 7:53 AM

    That is one funky Widget.
    We are still doing the happy dance for you. I need to know about congrats cards so are you going to find out if you’re having a he or a she? I gotta know what color to do…don’t want to send something girly for a boy and vice versa. Or do you just want it in a universal color?

  33. #33 by Michelle on April 24, 2008 - 7:54 AM

    Ummm…I might be wrong but I have a feeling that the phrase about daddy banging mommy and knocking her up might cause more therapy sessions than the holiday birthday.

What I’m trying to say is, none of the people I mentioned above complain about having December b-days & like I said, I LOVE having a b-day on Christmas Day!!

    There are many positive things about having a birthday on December 24. (1. my birthday is that day!) 2. you always get to see your whole family on or near your birthday. 3. you get more presents than everyone on christmas. 4. (this is my favorite) You will be perfect because hey you’re practically Jesus.

    LOL… I had my second a couple of weeks after Christmas. Here are the benefits:

    1. You don’t like going to your husbands little hick town for he holidays? Oooooops. No travel for you. You’re too pregnant. I know you’re sad.

    2. Hate to cook the holiday meals? Darn. You’re too pregnant. Truly upsetting.

    3. Hate Christmas shopping? You’ve been too pregnant for a while for that one. Guess the husband has to do it. Shoot.

    4. Hate the Christmas cleaning because company’s coming over? Way, way to pregnant for that. Ahhhhh the humanity!

    5. Love re-runs of “The Christmas Story” Awesome! You totally get to do that one. Over, and over, and over again. Yeah baby!

    OK…that’s all I’ve got for now. Enjoy yourself! And Congrats once again.

    Your baby will not care when his/her birthday is. My sister has a December birthday and she never cared if her presents were wrapped in Christmas paper. I remember one year she even had Santa cupcakes at her party. It will just make that time of the year that much more exciting for the child. I am so excited about all to come for you these next few months! How are you feeling? Do you suffer from the horrible nausea? I don’t wish that on anyone!!

  48. #48 by Christina W. on April 24, 2008 - 9:47 AM

    We’ve got a couple of December babes in our family, but we are equal opportunity gifters. (ie- they get their own party, even the one whose BDay is on the 23rd) No whining allowed. As for the widget baby – cute in a creepy way – wish I’d had one when I was preggers w/ my little puke-monster. (For the first seven months I thought he was trying to kill me from the inside out!) It would have been nice to have a virtual tadpole to -ahem- blame.

    My son’s due date was Christmas Eve also. He was so big when I went to my last Dr.’s app. and the weather had been icy and bad that the Dr. let me come in one week early to induce labor. I’m so glad they did because he weighed 9 lbs. even and I was a small person (only 103 lbs. before pregnancy). But he was my easiest delivery. He had been in perfect position for a good month and I had been dilated to 3 cm for that long too. We always had to drive 1 hour to get to the hospital and that made a difference for us too. I have never planned my pregnancies like some people. It never crossed my mind.

    Hey my kid was born on Dec. 24…oh wait, sorry, I just got wrapped up in everyone else saying something along those lines :) But I did want to say that God must think pretty highly of you and John. Think about it: He’s blessing you with ANOTHER baby, even though you were amazingly blessed to have one at all AND he wants that baby to be somewhat close to sharing a birthday with Jesus. God only gives the late December birthdays to the babies He likes best ;) PS- my birthday is June 25 (exactly the opposite of Christmas- God hates me)

    My grandmother was born on Dec. 24th and it didn’t ruin her life, in fact she enjoys it because she gets her favorite foods for her birthday. I have a pair of twin friends who have a birthday on Dec.12th, again, never complained. Just enjoyed it. Always said they felt like all the town decorations were just for their birthdays.

We did have lots of fun with people though…told ‘em if it was a girl we’d name her Noel and if it was a boy we would name him Jesus. My grandma didn’t think that was so funny. Anyhow, like you said the date is just an estimated best guess so who knows what day will be the big day! Congrats!

    My birthday is just before Christmas, and it’s never bothered me in the LEAST. My parents made an effort to ensure my birthday was always a separate event and that people knew not to “double up” gifts on me, and I never thought twice about it. Now that I’m older, Christmas does overshadow my birthday in my own mind, because I have a child and that makes Christmas so exciting to me, but that’s MY choice. You’re such great parents I know that if that baby is born on Christmas day, it will believe it’s the luckiest kid in the world.

    Congratulations!

    And I totally agree – your kid will have plenty of stupid shizzle to guilt trip you about. Ignore any Christmas Eve-related drama. Or tell him/her to convert to Judaism or some other religion.

    My sister was born Christmas Day. She loves having a Christmas birthday. Our parents did a couple things that made it a good day for her. 1 – She had a birthday present that was NOT wrapped in Christmas paper nor placed under the tree (nor did I have one to match it). 2 – On Christmas evening, when the excitement of the day had passed and the let-down was setting in Mom brought out the birthday cake and ice cream and we celebrated her birthday. She was actually born about 7:00 pm so it was totally appropriate. It always seemed the perfect way to round out the day.

    I am very happy for you and send good wishes for an easy pregnancy.

    Dude. I hope your baby gets cuter. Because? That is one freaky lookin’ alien life form you are hosting, mama. =P
    they DO get cuter, luckily!
    This made me LOL – “a totally defensive, boorish, fight-picking hag” oh. my. yes. that was me too.

    the birthday thing – my mom’s is Dec 12 and she said she always felt cheated. My kid’s is Dec. 19th, and I feel cheated – but when he’s a little older I’m going to give him the option of having a birthday party in June, to split up the year, and get better presents!

    I was due on Christmas Day this past year and she came early on the 10th. Any time you have a baby is wonderful so congrats!

    Congrats! I was pregnant at the same time last year! We had our little one on Dec 27,2007! I wouldn’t change it for anything!

    Unfortunatly, people don’t have any tact when it comes to these types of things and they just give their opinion even though you don’t ask for it!

    Congrats again!!

    Well, I was just going to read your post in Bloglines, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to peer into your uterus. That cartoon-baby looks kind of… dinosaury, but I’m sure yours will be absolutely adorable. Some of us just don’t photograph so well.

    My Firstborn’s birthday is December 15th. Turns out, it’s not that big a problem.

    Congratulations!

    My birthday is December 20th. December birthdays are the best! The whole world decorates. There are presents everywhere, lights, fat men in red suits. Wait…that stuff is for Christmas? Hmph. Oh well, I’ve still got the big red stocking they put me in for the bassinet in the hospital nursery. Maybe your baby will get one too!

    Congratulations! A baby any time of year is amazing….if you’d like, I’ll compile and long and wonderful list of why Christmas time is a divine time for baby-having :) Let me know.

    I really enjoy your blog….and while you didn’t know I had been visiting (stalking) you…. I’m a fan.

    If your preggers self is up to it….I tagged you. :)

    I love your floating nugget! Actually he/she looks a bit cashew-like, but is so precious :)

    My cousin was born on Christmas day. He’s the sweetest kid, and loves having his birthday part of such a festive time of year.

    Pregnancy with my daughter actually calmed me down a bit. No wonder hubby constantly wants to knock me up!

    The probability of baby being born on Christmas or Christmas Eve is slim. And if you make a big deal out of birthdays the kid won’t care how close it is to Christmas. No biggie!
    Yeah for a due date!

    Getting knocked up any time of year is a blessing,IMHO. Little G was due January 16 but she wanted out early 3 days before Christmas actually. I plan to celebrate her birthday early once she starts school. No big deal.
    We’ve got a slew of December babies in the family, and everyone’s turned out just fine.

What a fun Christmas present…and by the way, you can totally use the “I’m almost about to give birth” excuse to get out of anything this holiday season…use it wisely.

    Boog’s birthday is 12/29 so yeah I feel your pain and I can’t tell you how many freakin times I had people say something like “aw, a christmas baby, poor thing, why did y’all do that” Because we tried for a freakin’ year and we’ll take what we can get, jackass.

    Basically you know cause we all have control over these sorts of things. :)

    And let me tell you, December is a fine time to have a baby.
