My belly popped!

Well, it didn't explode, but it's finally popped out enough that you can tell that I'm pregnant and not just thick around the middle. I didn't even realize this because since it's winter I've been wearing sweaters and such. Today I wore a tighter shirt and I could totally tell!



We've been having these very nasty looking bugs in our place. They seriously look dangerous, so I looked them up online. They are called house centipedes and look like this (about 2 inches long)->

Apparently they rarely bite and if they do it's like a bee sting. The sites I went on say they are very beneficial and not to kill them, but there is no way I'm letting those things stay in our house!! I don't care how beneficial they are, they are disgusting!! Whatsthatbug.com says they are the most common asked about bug, but I have never seen one before. Do they exist in Arizona? Has anyone else ever seen one?

In other news, Ellie is becoming my clone. She is such a little mother to all her toys. Today I saw her lick her finger and wipe off her baby's face! I didn't realize I did that so much! She is always giving her babies a "dider(diaper) change" and today she picked up something fragile and said "Don't touch that, gentle." Every time she goes into the kitchen she warns herself "hot, doooon't touch" while pointing to the stove. And whenever she thinks about climbing up on the table she says "Ellie be a good girl, noooo table" Whenever we get into a taxi now she starts saying "Yameen, shamel" Which means "right, left." I guess she's picked up on us giving directions to the driver. Maybe she can take over someday soon! :)

I think I would scream bloody murder and jump on the couch if I saw one of those centipedes around here! Kyle's been doing the "hot" thing with our stove too lately! He'll go up like he's going to touch it, then blow (like blowing on food) and say some variation of the word "hot". Let's see a picture of your belly soon!

Congratulations on your pregnancy, Kirsten. Glad everything is progressing so well. Love to read about your life over there and all the details. I also was on your profile page & it says that your age is 250?? Packages are always exciting to get. When we sent packages to Autumn we always made the value very low in order to keep her cost down to receive them. Merry Christmas.....Arleta

Oh my gosh! I just killed one of those centipedes last week. It was disgusting! I also looked it up online and told my neighbor that it said to let them live because they eat other spiders. I had already killed it, but even if I hadn't, I wouldn't have let it live. I saved it to show Zane. :) Everything I read about them was the same as what you said. They're only dangerous if you're allergic to them. Anyways, they're disgusting! I called the exterminator to spray our house. Probably more convenient for us than for you guys. Hope you guys are doing well! We'll talk to you guys later!

Love,
Zane, Tara, and Bryson
