Half-Baked

I'm over half way done now.

I was looking at my little ticker box off to the side there and I have been pregnant for around 125 days (I know it says 128, but I really haven't been preggo that long, yet).

The reality of the situation is that I am probably due closer to mid-May than the beginning of May. And that's okay.

I am getting kicked every day now. It started a few weeks ago and he has his patterns. He must have slept a lot today, because I didn't feel him most of the day. But, he wakes up between 5 and 5:30!! He kicks me and it's uncomfortable now -- I can't imagine when he's big enough for others to feel. He's kicking me as I write this, in fact.

I finally "fatted" out of my pants last week. I have my three pairs of Old Navy maternity jeans and that's all for the pants area. I tried to buy a cool pair of velvety/dressy pants, but they are WAAAAAAY too big. I have to send them back with my other shirts, if I can find them.

Had another doctor's appt yesterday. Uneventful, as usual. Do I have questions, no, listen to heartbeat, feel my tummy to see if I've grown enough and I'm on my way. I did have a lot of blood drawn for the rest of my OB panel testing, but I doubted that they had the results back for me today, with the snow. So, I'll call next week and just make sure everything was a-ok. I don't expect any big surprises.

Next appt is Jan 15.

I think I may have mentioned it before, but my mom and aunt are planning on throwing us shower some time, probably in March or April -- a big, "Jack and Jill" (I guess that's what they call them) shower, for the girls and the boys. I have so many male friends that I don't want to feel like I can't have all my friends. Besides, I did the girl only thing for wedding showers and my bachelorette party and I really wished that Jake and I had just had a big ass drinking party at the house for everyone. I mean, Jake could have done something with just the boys, like he did, but a big "The House" party really would have been perfect.

I'm off to try to buy more Christmas presents online and hope that they get here in time.
