23 Weeks

Baby Connell is more than 11 inches long (another inch and Baby will be longer than my ruler!) and weighs just over 1 pound, Mama Connell tried to kill the family with some questionable pork and Papa Connell is afraid that Mama Connell is smooshing the baby’s face when she pokes around on her belly trying to locate Junior’s head.

Nothing new on the pregnancy front. I don’t have another doctor’s appointment until December 1st; soon thereafter I will have bi-weekly appointments as opposed to monthly. I’ve been feeling really good and sometimes forget that I’m pregnant – and I mean that in the best possible way – until Junior starts doing reno’s (trademark Lee Anne) in my belly. I have further developed my sweet tooth and spent the better part of this morning chewing on Starbursts. No wonder Junior’s building an addition in there!

Owen and I had another baby name conversation this week and I have to say, we are getting nowhere as far as girls’ names. I think it’s because we would both be shocked if Junior ended up being a boy.

The thing with Owen is, I can’t put anything past him. Dude knows me. So, if I suggest a name that I love, like Rory (which has been firmly vetoed by him) he rolls his eyes and makes a comment about naming the baby Lorelai instead and about going downstairs to watch the 6 seasons of Gilmore Girls I have on DVD. I think Rory is the cutest name going and can picture a curly haired girl in striped tights dancing around the living room. Owen said that with that scenario, we could name the kid Bertha and it’d still be cute. So Bertha Connell it is.

My last post made a couple people 'sniff' and left Judes speechless as far as leaving a comment so I just wanted to let everyone know things at the Connell house are going very well. Grandma Connell is out of the hospital and on the mend and Owen is back to his old self, that is making me pee my pants with laughter on a daily basis.

Dear Mrs JC.

I am writing on behalf of Lee Ann Robinson, to demand that you cease and dissist from using her "trademarks" in your blog. Lee Ann is painfully aware that she is rarely is able to make a "funny" and when she does, she wishes to cherish these moments. She is quie distraught over the prospect of her "funnies" being exploited in a blog where the blogger is more than capable of making her own "funnies".

Lee Ann also wishes to notify you that as of 2:29pm EST on Friday November 17, 2006 you will hereby be known as Jennyfer. She has noticed that you have been referring to her as "Lee Anne" and feels that the same blatent misspelling of names must be reciprocated.

I think there's a lot of inside jokes I'm just not privy too - I'd like to make a complain to the manager, please. Who the heck are "Mewes" and "Lee Anne" or however the name is spelled? Inquiring minds want to know. And just for the record, I'm into Rory for a girl, so score one for Owen if you're actually keeping score. And striped tights????? Hello, unless you plan on giving her the clown look or jail look - skip the striped tights! That's my comment -like it or not. :-)
Love, Aunt Maureen

Mo - Lee Ann is my friend at work who is due three weeks before me and apparently hates when I spell her name with an extra 'e' (AKA Lee Anne). Mewes is Jason Mewes - an actor and former crackhead who's a hottie.
