Exhaustion

It's tiring being pregnant. Quite the tiring experience. And this morning my legs hurt. And my feet. I feel like I had walked 15 miles (and no, I haven't). It's a weird internal pain that I can't really identify. I really don't want to check the 15 pregnancy books that I have upstairs because I don't want to start getting weird ideas or something. I am tired of those books as well. I haven't read them in a while. Whatever it has to be, it will be. I'm completing 27 weeks on Monday and that puts me close to the end of the sixth month ?? Maybe. All these weeks and months in pregnancy is very confusing. Because it is not 9 months, no, no, no it is really 10 lunar months of 4 weeks each. It is really a long time. I wonder if human beings are the mammals with the longest gestation? I feel I have been pregnant forever and I still have three more months...

100 days

One hundred days for our baby to get here.... And he might get here sooner. Wow!!!! WOW!! WOW..... And we have a crib and a dresser and...... a couple of books, two pacifiers, and a little elephant that you can put in the crib. And that's it. I think we really need to start working on this. Or not. I am really not sure if we have time and we can take things easily or if we have to rush and get everything ready ASAP... Never done this before.

Ah, we have a mattress too!

Remember?

Nostalgically, I went over my 600+ honeymoon photos. It was a delicious trip. Why did it have to end??? Will always be grateful.

The last night of the trip...

The hottest summer in 83 years in central Texas

and I am 23 weeks pregnant. Yes, the hottest summer in Austin. Wow. I could have been pregnant last summer. It rained every other day. But no... It had to be this summer.

Summer Cold

I'm sick. I have this crazy little cold. And it's boiling outside. It's been a very, very hot summer. It feels like the AC and the heat -- getting in and out-- have not been good to me. My head is killing me and my nose is not working. And of course I can't take a lot of things. Doctor said that Tylenol will help, and lots of fluids. Same old thing. Has not been a good day.

We saw our baby this morning. He had his little hands on top of his head and he was crossing his legs. He was just there relaxing inside me, waving his little fingers. Little baby. He's breeched. His butt is facing down. Hopefully he will turn around on time. My dear friends the fibroids seem to have stopped growing and have moved (could this even be possible) to the right part of the outside of the uterus. The doctor was surprised but he said that everything looks great. According to him, I am doing very well (except for the cold) and that things are looking perfect. I just feel tired. TIRED. TIRED. TIRED. I just want to sleep. And I do that. I do a lot of sleeping. I just can't get enough sleep.

I am watching "So you think you can dance." What if my baby becomes a big, hip, crazy dancer? Mmmmm....
