January is waning and my belly is expanding
Week 31, halfway to week 32. Holy moley!
I am expanding at an alarming rate, as you can see in this picture from Monday.
And of course, Bumblebee continues to grow. She had the hiccups last night for the first time ever for a good 10 minutes, it was weird and silly... life inside must be a very confusing experience.
Matt and I spent the end of December and beginning of January moving into a new 2-bedroom apartment! Everything is pretty much in place now except for the baby's stuff, although our pile of baby goods is slowly growing on the floor in her room.
I cannot believe that in 9 weeks or so Matt and I will be parents. I guess we technically are already parents, but it doesn't so much feel that way yet. The baby furniture is set to be delivered end of February, and it is highly likely there will be a baby shower in February or early March... once the room is decorated maybe I will feel more like a baby is coming!!
The bedding we are using in baby's room is currently featured in this Vonage commercial which is kind of weird. In case you haven't seen the (kind of hilarious) commercial and wanted a sneak peek, click the words!! =)
Anyway baby time is looming. The main "symptoms" I have right now are the stretching and aching of my growing insides (and the skin on the sides of my body, it feels like my belly is going to tear open sometimes!), and somewhat excruciating pain in my legs at night. I have chronic joint issues, and the added weight is not helping one little bit. I am taking my vitamins and things, and getting some sleep, but around 3am every morning like clockwork my legs/knees/pelvis/hips start aching and no matter what I do they don't get better. The only thing that seems to help is walking around, and then I am usually not able to fall back asleep, so I have been getting my early morning wake-up practice!
Bumblebee is still very active, and is often doing flips and turns as the day wears on. Her most active time is after I drink orange juice - it seems to be her favorite. I didn't even LIKE OJ before I got pregnant and now I cannot get enough. If it wasn't for the sugar content I'd drink it all day.
Can't wait for this little girl to arrive! Matt and I have been singing songs to her and talking to her, and hopefully she will be as silly and goofy as we are when she gets older. I don't think she has a choice, actually - we are a little crazy.
That's all for now. Next week is the Winter play at the school, I am the assistant director which mostly means I watch, add my 2 cents occasionally, and work on things like fliers and programs, which is all just fine with me since I am usually exhausted by the time rehearsal rolls around anyway. I wish I could do the musical this year, hopefully no one will mind if I sneak in to watch some rehearsals.. and maybe I can even attend the show, if I can convince Matt by then that he will not in fact somehow break the baby if left alone. Haha... oh what a ride we are in for!!
