I feel like the bump is getting bigger, but it’s not really showing in photos. My belly is starting to feel heavy, I almost wish I had one of those belt things to hold it up, even though it’s not THAT large- I can’t imagine having twins! Erica, Mic and I were looking at 40 week bump photos on Flickr and some of them are insanely crazy big. I’m starting to have back pain now, and leg pain, especially as I put on pants or socks. If I have to lift up one left I get lots of pain up the other leg. I am on my feet all throughout the day, so I need to tell myself to take it easy, because I’m so not a quitter. If someone at work tells me that I can’t lift up a box, it really makes me want to lift up that box even more. I also feel like I slacker if I have to watch someone do something that I used to do all the time. Whenever I get up off the couch I feel like I’m moving in slow motion and make funny noises, noises that Scott likes to mimic to laugh at me.
I still find it funny when I go to squeeze through places and turn sideways. These days turning sideways is the same as going at it head on. Also I always try to suck in when I go through small places, and sucking in does nothing for me now.
This baby is a moving machine. I was laying on the office floor yesterday and told Scott to look at my belly because the baby was moving a lot. Normally when I tell people that the baby is moving it immediately stops, but not yesterday, the moves became even larger and Scott’s eyes went large was like holy cow! Way to impress him baby!
We had family Christmas with Scott’s parents on the weekend because his sister is leaving for Australia on Sunday and his parents got us the cutest little snow suit! Scott’s grandma knitted us 3 pairs of cute baby booties that I can’t wait to put to use.
I’ve never mentioned anything about names on here, we aren’t keeping them a secret but for some reason I feel like keeping it a surprise on the blog. So you will all have to wait until raspbaby arrives to know the name!
The work countdown is on, exactly 2 weeks of work left, and 40 DAYS until baby’s due date!

Only 40 more days with you as a non-mama? Geeez, I feel like I’ve been so far away from you this whole pregnancy. Next time let me know in advance so I can move in beside you first.

Aww I wish Razzle was moving on Saturday! It would have been like it was dancing to the cheer music! I can’t wait until I get to see you every day and not have to look at your belly in the middle of the Powerade Centre!

I think you 100% are one of those ‘glowing’ mommys-to-be this week in your pictures. Now I know what ppl mean when they say that – looking great!!
Yeah, does sucking in even work with a pregnant belly? That’s hilarious.
You look fabulous, as usual. And ahem, belly pics on Flickr? Wha-a..?? I think you may be to blame for my newest time-killer.
