A little crampage has been going on…so I took another two tests. A girl can never be too sure about these things. Both announced the same thing…two lines…pregnant…with child….err…with dinosaur.
That’s right. I am growing a small reptilian in my uterus. Looks more like a lizard than well, me. And that is why I will call it Babysaurus or Dinobaby or dinobug. At least until week 12.
Right now I am only 5 weeks and 6 days. 2% pregnant.
I still can barely believe it. It’s kinda foreign. Like a strange dream that doesn’t end. I guess that is why I wanted to tell the boyfriend about it so badly. I feel like I have been holding it back for so long and I just want someone else to know.
And he better be happy dang it.
Because I am a nervous wreck. Seriously.
So here is the plan…I made a little slideshow. All I have to do is keep my big fat mouth shut until he sees it. Then we can do the happy-jumping-up-and-down thing. I hope.

Ooooh do we get to see the slideshow? Love how you’re doing this whole flashback thingee- it’s funny to go back in the archives to these dates and it seems that everything is regular as always, when really… 🙂
Natalie says
Oh my gosh, congratulations!!!
Can’t wait to see what you do with a nursery 🙂
Laura says
I was reading your post and my 3 year old walks up, looks at the picture and says, “HEY! There’s a dinosaur!” HAHA
Mary Evers says
You haven’t told him yet???

i’m soooo glad you are posting these quickly – i was going to be sad if we had to wait a few days for each chapter! there are just far too many of us with baby-rabies.
Alison says
Coincidentally, my latest blog post is about my son dressed as a DINOSAUR for Halloween 🙂
I love that you back-blogged about your little one!! If your baby is anything like mine, you’ll think he/she is part dinosaur after he/she is born too! Jackson goes around the house making the silliest noises with a HUGE grin on his face.
I have to say, even though I don’t know you outside of following your blog, I am SO HAPPY for you. Having a child is wonderful and you are in for the time of your life! My son is almost one and he’s getting to the point where he can show his love for us. It melts my heart every time.
CONGRATS!!!!

Congrats on the new addition! You and the BF will make wonderful parents, can’t wait to hear how he reacted when you told him!
Danielle says
What a cute way to show him! I feel like I need to turn the page! Hurry up!

Katie, the dinosaur thing is a great comparison! I remember feeling that exact way at nearly 6 weeks… and continued to think along those lines for another 14 weeks… when I found out there were TWO human-parasitic-beings inside of me. Whereas I have mixed feelings about wishing multiples on others, it sure would make for some extra-wild blog posts! 😉
Congrats to you & Jeremy & the Bower bambino (s?)!
