Wow...how am I doing...what a big question!
Ok...sleeping? Not really. Hubs loves me lots, and I love him back, but DAMNIT STOP SNUGGLING ME!!! I wind up way to hot and scrunched up against the wall of the waterbed. Yay for the waterbed, though. I can still comfortably sleep on this bigass belly.
Do we HAVE to talk about weight? Fine. So far, I have gained about 30 lbs. Yes 30. Close your mouth. Let's move on, shall we?
Stretch marks are only on my piercing. I look like a freak with a red flower on my bellybutton.
Peanut is busy all the time now. It's amazing, and I know I will miss this feeling of not being alone. Alas, she is a clever one with a great sense of humour who finds it hilarious to kick me in the bladder. The REAL funny thing about that is we don't kick once, we kick 85 times...THWACK! THWACK! THWACK... Oh tons of fun! And then there's the neat way we like to get wedged in funny so that mommy feels like she's got MAJOR gas pains all of a sudden. When I poke her, she gets out of the way though, bless her heart. What's really neat, though, is watching my tummy change shape as she moves. It's spooky on the one hand, but on the other hand, it really hits home that there's a person in there, and it makes me all sucky.
I am getting heartburn LARGE. This past weekend I went into the Mac's in Elmvale and bought 4 rolls of Tums on the way up to Wasaga. The girl behind the counter had a chuckle and asked if that's what the baby has done to me. I said pretty soon I'll be taking out stocks in the company. Guess she's gonna have lots of hair!
I am starting to be sore and achy all the time, and I can see how I will want to be done with this before very long. Although I love having her with me all the time, I am dying to meet her, and I am just plain uncomfortable at times. I am finding that in particular, my hip joints feel like there is no strength there at all. Sometimes I stand up and feel like I'm going to fall. I am trying to keep walking in the mornings, but it takes a lot out of me with this heat. My back is starting to hurt too, so bending over is becoming an issue already, and my swollen feet and ankles are waaayyy too sexy.
The nursery hasn't been started yet, but we have all the pieces...we just need to assemble the puzzle. I am really looking forward to that part. SOOOOOO looking forward to it! I am not going up north this weekend so that I can get a head start on throwing out a lot of junk I have been hanging on to, and preparing the room for painting. I have done WAYYYY too much shopping. Maybe for shits and giggles later I will take pictures of all the goodies that my serious lack of willpower caused me to be unable to resist buying. I wonder how much $$ I have spent so far? Hopefully I am not completely poor by the time the baby arrives!!
The prospect of delivering this child is terrifying. I am hoping to get into some childbirth classes soon so that I can have a good idea of what is going to happen. Knowledge is power, after all....right? RIGHT? Um...what else? I have registered with the hospital. I have registered with Toys 'R' Us... The main feeling I have right now is of time running through my fingers like water. I feel like the baby will be here before I know it, and I am scared I won't be prepared. But I can't wait. All at the same time.
I think I'm going loco.
