Don't Shake the Belly

Sorry for the delay in blogging...need not take that fateful plunge off the ledge for fear that I have succumbed to the Myspace status of forgotten and left forever. Life and work have been crazy lately and I haven't even started doing our taxes!
I tried to take a belly shot today of myself in the mirror but it's not working so Vegas SIL, you'll have to wait a little longer to see Uno's current home. I can tell you that I have definitely "popped" and, sadly, my pre-preggo jeans no longer fit. It was a depressing day this weekend when I tried to put them on and realized that they a) looked horrible and b) were completely uncomfortable. I have surrendered to the maternity jeans which I will say are comfortable but they're no Citizens. I know, I know, they have Seven/Citizen/Joe's in maternity but I cannot bring myself to spend $200 on jeans that I know I won't wear in the summer heat! With the belly in full sight (at least to me) and me full of energy the other night, I thought it would be funny to see what Husband did when I grabbed the belly and started shaking it while singing "Shake your money-maker like somebody 'bout to pay ya". I'm not talking about a gentle shake, this was a full on vibrating shake that some of you may feel the need to comment on due to concerns of the safety of Uno. My thought is that when I laugh hard (which I do often), it's basically the same thing. Needless to say, Husband was not impressed but did give me some great inspiration for the blog title!
In other news, today is St. Patty's day, a favorite holiday in our household. I decided after I found out I was preggo that I needed a great shirt to wear for today and hit the jackpot online while searching for funny/tacky maternity shirts. I'm not big into maternity shirts (especially the ones that say, "Pregnant, not fat". Honestly, what if you were a little fat before...it opens you up to all kinds of remarks. I tried to take pictures but they turned out horrible (will post later when Husband is able to help....he's currently at the bar celebrating) but the shirt I got says "Got some Irish in me, now I'm knocked up". :) So tacky but true! As a parting gift, here's a St. Patty's day tidbit I learned this morning while listening to Bo and Jim. Apparently, Saint Patrick was actually born to a Scottish family even though he's the patron saint of Ireland. Not sure how true this may be but I didn't really feel like searching for information on Saint Patrick.
It's not a matter of upper and lower class but of being up a while and down a while.

So, I did a quick search on the internet to find info you can give to Lance to reassure him that shaking your belly isn't gonna hurt the baby. This is what I found...hahahah....omg.....
