Man! You guys must think I am the worst blogger of all time. Another couple of weeks has passed without any new posts and I am sorry. Well, today I am 26 weeks pregnant and feeling more like 36 weeks. In the past couple of weeks I have gone from "oh yeah, she is pregnant" to "oh man is she pregnant!". For example, last Monday, the guy who delivers water to our office on a monthly basis came in and as he passed my desk he stops abruptly and says "oh no....". He was referring to the size of my belly and the pity on his face made me realize I am now that girl. I am the girl who you look at and say to yourself "either she is having twins or she is about to pop". Wrong! I still have 3 whole months left people! Lord help me. I was absolutely miserable last week because I had had a growth spurt but my stomach skin hadn't caught up and it felt so tight that if I had sneezed, I was convinced my stomach would bust like a balloon. I'm no expert, but I am pretty sure that is not what is supposed to happen. I am also at the stage where everyone wants to rub my belly. In the middle of me explaining something to my boss last week he
interrupts me and says "can I just....?" and hints that he wanted to touch it. I said "go for it". He proceeded to rub my belly and then tells me to go on with what I was saying. I also had a complete stranger come right up to me and ask me how far along I am while giving me a full on belly rub. The creepy part of all of this....I actually like it. I am weird like that.
Anyway, a lot of people have asked me lately if I have started on my nursery. Sadly, I haven't. My husband and I are actually looking for a new house because we recently came to the decision that the current one we have just wont do. It doesn't have a bathtub for crying out loud! So, this past weekend we looked at many houses and even fell in love with one. We will find out this week if it is ours or not. It is not only bigger and has a bathtub, but it also has lots of space and even a garden and a chicken coup! Oh, and the master bedroom has TWO walk-in closets. Hells to the yeah! Hopefully we will get it and be able to move in in the next few weeks and start on the baby's room!
Meanwhile, my skin has caught up with my growth and I am feeling better (for now), but still feeling like a beached whale. Little Cora has been extremely active and even kicked for 14 hours straight a few days ago. I have no idea what she could possibly have been doing in there all day but she had both her arms and legs going at the same time. I think we have a dancer on our hands. Of course, anytime I tell someone to put their hand on my stomach to feel her she stops. She is like her mother...doesn't like to perform under pressure.
I am sure most of you have seen this belly picture on facebook lately, but I will post it anyway :) Next week I will be considered in my third trimester and am very thankful for that :)
