Not as much to say this time since I just updated yesterday. If I were my mom, I’d only have 2 weeks left to go. I hope Baby Girl gives me more time than that, though. Even if SHE decides she’s ready, mommy is definitely going to need more time. To-do list is overwhelming me. SO OVERWHELMED. Tomorrow needs to be a productive day. (Which probably means I should go to bed since it’s about 1 am as I proofread this post.)
I had a funny/disturbing pregnancy dream again. I think I’ve mentioned before, I’m feeling the baby move a lot, but it’s not those tiny little jabs anymore. I can definitely feel that she’s bigger and she has a little less space to move around. Sometimes I feel like she’s giving me a massage from the inside. At times, it looks like my belly is dancing. The whole thing just wiggles and shakes. So I guess this is what inspired this weird dream. It pretty much just consisted of my belly moving. Violently. In the dream, it felt mostly like usual, but exaggerated, and with a pulling sensation as well as the pushing. Anyway, she was pushing/pulling so hard on one side, my skin was stretched so thin on the other side that you could see muscle underneath. Completely impossible, but it would be really wrong if it could happen. But I was just like, “HEY LOOK!” I showed my mom, and I think she said I should ask the doctor about that. I was like, oh well, whatever, I’ll see her on Wednesday.
On that note, my next Dr. appointment is this Wednesday at 3:15. I think it’ll be a “normal” visit. But after that, I think the internal exams might start. I guess I’ll find out more on Wednesday.
Tonight, I was filling out my calendar for January (we have a magnetic dry-erase monthly calendar thing that we keep on the fridge). It is a much busier month than usual. Mostly classes getting ready for baby girl. Childbirth class (that’s two nights…signed up for a semi-accelerated one because I was afraid I wouldn’t get to finish the four-week class). Also a breastfeeding class and a class called “Babysense” (How to Take Care of One of These 101). I also signed Pete up for a Fatherhood Basic Training class, which he is totally not excited about, but that’s not til mid-February. So if this kid comes early, he might be off the hook anyway.
Got an assortment of pics this time. Gonna show my sweet little face (ha) in this blog for the first time everrrr. I left it out at first because I didn’t know for sure that I would keep this blog private. But I’m pretty sure I know all of you anyway, one way or another. If not, well, someday maybe you’ll see me on the street and think to yourself, “Hey, there’s that lady who looks huge in a dress and likes to talk about boobs and hemorrhoids!”
First, a pic from our visit to Tulsa (a whirlwind trip, as usual). Got to see our friends Jon & Itsuka for dinner before hitting the highway back home. I reaallllyyy wanted a pic with Itsuka since we’re both preggie chicks, but I (obviously) have a few weeks on her. They say she has a little bit of a bump, but you really can’t tell with what she’s wearing. I think she’s about 22ish weeks? (I’m so excited that we’ll have kids about the same age!)
Next, my usual profile pic:
One of my friends pointed out (on my facebook album), that I should post full length pics with my face. Okay, fine. Since I posted it on facebook, I’ll post it here, too. =P Looking kinda wrinkled since we got in front Tulsa shortly before this was taken. And I was already in my sock feet, so I cropped my feet off. But here you go:
