This has got to be the funniest baby gadget I've seen yet...

If you’ve ever wished for a “hand” to leave behind so that your baby would feel as if you’ve never left the room, your prayers have been answered with the Zaky.The Zaky is an ergonomic infant pillow designed by a mom to mimic the size, weight, touch, and feel of her hand and forearm to help her baby with comfort, support, protection, and development. The Zaky can help calm your baby and help your baby sleep better through the night.

So the Sunday after Thanksgiving I convinced Dan to help me put out the Christmas decorations.  It was so fun, I loved it!  While I was engrossed with doing the tree, I turn around to see this picture...  Dan had found a place for our baby girl's stocking!  It was too cute I had to take a picture and of course post about it!  Our sister in law gave us that bassinet (which makes 2 for us now) and it was missing one of the teddy bears on the mobile, so Dan made good use out of it!

Anyway, no belly shots this time...when we get back from Cancun I'll try to get some posted...yes I'm large...I am swollen in places I didn't anticipate would swell.  Although I did receive an encouraging word from a cashier at Michael's yesterday.   She asked if I was pregnant and I said yes, she said, "so what are you about 3 months?"   I said 5 months actually and she said begrudgingly, "ugh you kept your figure."   I told her really I hadn't and I feel huge, but it's my first so I'm sure I'll only enlarge with subsequent pregnancies.   She still seemed to hate me... oh well, at least it made me feel good!

But for real, I am a fatty and I guess I'm okay with it.  It comes with the territory.  I didn't really notice I was swelling in too many other places until I saw the pictures we took on Thanksgiving and pictures don't lie... My face is doing its fair share of rounding out...uuuggghhh...  More to love though right?
