- For one thing, I hardly blog anymore. Turns out being six months pregnant = no motivation for anything. And that, in addition to not having the internet at home, means that updating twice a month is good enough these days.
- It's amazing how much I think about the baby boy that's growing inside of me. I'm not sure I've made it even 5 minutes without thinking about him since we got the positive test result back.
- I find myself scratching, and caressing (yes, caressing) my belly throughout the day. It comes absentmindedly a lot of the time.
- I'm paying attention to kicks more, and sometimes nudge him to feel even more. I spent so much time thinking about how weird it would be having something grow inside of me that I never gave a second thought to how amazing it would feel.
- Chris has finally felt him kick a few times and gets excited, talking to my belly and asking Jack to kick more. I love to watch it. :)
- Someone asked me, for the first time, when I am due. It was kind of nice. I'm hoping that won't happen after I have him...
- It seems that, when I can, I eat every 2-3 hours. And, if I'm not hungry when it seems I should be, I get food ready anyway. Because when that hunger strikes, I need it. FAST.
- It seems that he kicks more when I need food. Or he needs food. If that's a sign of what's to come, I'm in for a real treat. Of course, I know that if he's anything like his dad, I'm kinda screwed. The guy who eats more than anyone I know... I'm amazed he's not 300 pounds.
- I seem to be constantly reminding myself that I will have a baby in four months. Yikes. I'm also constantly reminding myself that... um... I'm not ready. Not physically, mentally or spiritually.
- Although I don't think I'm emotionally ready for a child, I feel an emotional connection to this baby. I talk to him, stare at the movement that is happening inside my tummy, and on rare occasion, sing to him.
- He is constantly on one side of my tummy or another. It's become normal to me to look down and see my stomach completely lopsided. He likes my right side the most, I think.
I love the changes that are happening - and though it seems like everything is happening really fast, it's really exciting. I wouldn't change it for the world.
