Pregnancy Update

Things that are happening:

I can feel the baby moving even more now. This past weekend I was resting on the couch and the baby was moving like crazy. All of a sudden, I see little pokes come out of my stomach…..I poke back……and “it” pokes back. It was so neat and so surreal! Joe was bummed he missed it but I’m sure it will happen again. But ever since, Joe’s hand has been connected to my stomach in hopes of feeling something. I told him has to be more patient than that!

I must have “popped out” in the last week. Everyday last week, someone new at work would notice and say “oh I didn’t even know you were pregnant!” That must have happened a dozen times.

One morning last week when I woke up I had a lopsided belly! The baby must have been on just one side of me. It was so crazy looking. I was worried I'd have to go to work with a lopsided belly! But luckily after a few minutes of being up, it went back to normal. What a crazy sight that was.

I had the WORST heartburn I’ve ever had on Saturday night. It kept me awake until 1 a.m. I just couldn’t sleep. I’m thinking that large smoothie I got from Panera wasn’t such a good idea…..I’ll be staying away from those from now on. Let’s just say I slept all day Sunday to make up for it.

I've been a little stuffed up lately. At first, I thought, "oh great I'm getting a cold." But when I read the next update in my pregnancy book, I ready it is totally normal to get a stuffy nose when you pregnant. It's like the book read my body!

I'm so glad to be pregnant during Thanksgiving this year. I think the maternity pants will really come in handy!
