44 Days

in 44 days (plus or minus) my life will be changed forever. Just wanted to give an update on my pregnancy. Went to the doctors on 10/2/08 for my 33 wk checkup. All is well, lost a pound, but that could have something to do wtih being stressed out, cause my dear mark was so sick (Doctors think it's Lyme). But we are not fretting, and I made up for it on Thursday night, and all day Friday, eating everything in sight. It's weird, it's like my boy gave me a signal that he was hungry... every 3 hours or so.. so I ate. My doctor made me smile on Thursday, as I was laying on the exam table and she was measuring my belly, she said, "i have to tell you, I do this everyday, but it's still pretty amazing, the fact that you are growing a little human being inside of you". I couldn't agree more, i grow baby and produce milk... it's like super human powers i have, and i love em!!!

I've been somewhat uncomfortable lately, as he does acrobats in my belly - well, lets face it, there just isn't enough room for him to be doing acrobats. Sometimes it tickles, sometimes it feels like when you hit your funny bone -it hurts; but not like a real pain. The hiccups continue; quite frequently. I cure them with Kool-aid or lots of water, and the occassional cup of sugar water. I'm feeling wonderful, I can't reitterate how much I really have enjoyed my pregnancy. Sure, the pokes and jabs hurt occassionally, but other than that.... life is great. Still no water retention in my face, and nothing is swollen. I'm a lil surprised, considering I know I could exercise a lot more than I do but.. *pff* it's not happenin. haha.

I'd love to share a crazy dream I had just last night; I was walking around and began to feel a probe in my lower abdomen, i looked down, and there was an outline of a hand, i squeezed it, but was able to grab on to hold it, and the next thing I know, my skin stretched out and the itty bitty lil hand was trying to hit me in the face! seriously! what a crazy friggin dream. As I type this, i'm laughin hysterically, because it sounds so ridiculous.

We've rearranged the house lately. Mark just got enough energy yesterday after a week, and he worked hard! I love this man so much, i came home to find pictures hung on the wall, and the crib setup. What a guy!

Today is a busy day, we got a new stove being delivered, he's out doing errands this morning, and then as soon as the stove gets delivered we gotta go to Ikea in New Haven b/c one of the wood pieces for the cabinet is warped and it's gotta be returned. I just had some breakfast and now gotta get workin on operation baby k.
