32 Weeks


Two months to go.

55 days.

Nothing too exciting to report at this stage, just some minor gripes.

Sleeping has become increasingly difficult. Not only can I not get comfortable but my mind just races constantly. It's like the abestmindedness that I have all day long goes away at night and that is the only time I can complete a thought or remember the most random things. Like that I forgot to call a vendor back or where I put my ipod that I misplaced. Seems like my most frequent moments of clarity happen at about 3am and it lasts until about 5am. Then when I arrive at work my brain tends to shut off. I sure hope this goes away after he is born, I don't think I can stand myself being this ditzy forever.

Apart from my mental state my physical ailments are not too bad at this point. I of course have heartburn almost all the time. And Evan seems to be pushing into my lungs so I'm slighlty short of breath after I do just about anything. I also have the occasional episode of edema (swelling) of my feet after a long day at work. Just in time to show off my cankles in capris and flip flops. Woo hoo!

Things I miss...

Cold draft beer.

Having energy.

Being able to bend over and pick something up without looking like an idiot.

Medium rare cooked steak.

Non-maternity clothes.

Wine.

Sleeping longer than 2 hours consecutively.

Did I mentions cold draft beer?

Now enough whining! It's all fine. I'm still not saying I love being pregnant but I really do like it. I try not to complain too much, I do know it will all be worth it.

One thing I do love is every little nudge and kick. He's a very active baby boy. And it seems he really like Todd's voice which I think is pretty cool.

I think that's about it for now. Next weekend is my first baby shower which I am very excited about. I'll be posting pics I'm sure.
