The Robinsons are growing!

I haven't blogged since January (head drops in shame) but I have a good reason - at least I think so. I had a big secret and since I'm horrible at keeping secrets, I just avoided blogging all together. Plus, my secret was a big, all consuming secret so if I couldn't blog about it, I didn't know what else to blog about.

The secret has been out for about a month now, though, and I have no good reason as to why I haven't blogged in the last month except that I've been extremely busy. Lame, I know.

So where should I start? Oh... I guess with the secret!

My dear friend Julie at Julie D Photography took these awesome pictures for us!
That's right. We are having a baby and are due October 11, 2012 (10-11-12... so fun!). Chances are, you probably already knew this. But it's not official until you put it on the blog, right? So there you have it.

You followed us through our journey with the miscarriage in December and your prayers, support or positive vibes must have worked because we were lucky enough to get pregnant again just one month after the miscarriage. And we don't take it for granted. I think we have both appreciated how lucky we are each and every day of this journey.

And a journey it is! Pregnancy makes your body do some pretty crazy and unflattering things. But I will discuss more of that later.

I plan to post weekly pictures of my belly bump and journal about that week. And since I've done such a horrible job thus far, I'm going to start with last Thursday (19 weeks) and work my way backwards.

I'm about halfway through the pregnancy and something tells me the fun is just beginning so thanks for following along with what is sure to be an exciting and crazy journey!

First Annual Ugly Sweater Party

Ugly Sweater Party from Emily Robinson on Vimeo . Well, our First Annual Ugly Sweater Party was a huge success! We had SO much fun, as you'll see from the video. I also had so much fun making this video! I got a new flip cam for Christmas so it was fun to actually make a project with the videos! For those who attended the party, you will definitely enjoy all 14 minutes of this video (it is worth every second). I was laughing so hard while I was making it! For those who didn't attend the party, I can see how the video might get old or seem really long. Either way, if you watch it, let me know what you think!
Week: 19 Baby size: 6 inches, the size of a mango Bump size: 35.5 inches   Weight: +10 pounds Cravings: Anything sweet I still can't pass up desserts and don't worry - I didn't pass on anything this week, as much as I should have. I ate a glazed doughnut, piece of chocolate cake (it was small...) and a piece of cheesecake. Not all in the same day, but in the same week.  Other than my poor eating habits, which is old news at this point, there were a few other big developments this week. I guess you could say I officially "popped." I received more comments (and more belly touching) this week than I have throughout the pregnancy. This is both good and bad. I kind of liked being able to "hide" my pregnancy and only talk about it when and with whom I wanted. Those days are officially behind me and my protruding belly apparently is just screaming to people, "yes, I'm pregnant. Let's talk about it." There are only two weeks ...

I'm much too young to act this old

You can interpret that statement many different ways and they all would probably apply to me. But I'm specifically talking about my inability to get ready for work in the morning without forgetting something. And it has been happening a lot lately. If there is ever a morning where I actually remember everything, it is a rare occassion and a cause for celebration. This is yet another reason why I know I'm not ready for a child. If I can't get my 27 year-old self ready in the morning, how could I possibly get myself and a child ready in the morning? On less sleep?!?! Nope. Not ready. Sorry, Mom. It's never anything earth shattering that I forget but it's something just enough to be super annoying. One day it was my mascara. It's very weird to look in the mirror at the bathroom at work and see your face with makeup on and it looks like you have no eyelashes. Another day it will be my earrings. Not a huge deal, but it looks weird when you're used to seeing s...
