piko

Today I got two comments about looking pregnant...not offensive comments, just comments. And it's true...I look at myself in the mirror and am amazed at my pregnant belly!

Dave and I noticed the other night as we were watching Caleb move around that when I laugh my piko pokes out. It's so weird. And my linea negra (or however you spell it...that dark ugly trail to happiness pregnant women get) has expanded from the bottom half and is moving up toward the top half now too.

After being so happy that pregnancy has finally made me actually doodoo more, not less, I got a bit stopped up and hard doodoos made me get hemorrhoids...gross. And painful. Oh well. I don't think that's just a pregnancy thing, though, since it's been happening for a long time.

I know I'll probably think differently of this after actually going through labor, but I was thinking of how Blake and Stacie had their c-section today, and how since it was planned, she didn't really go through the different stages of labor. I actually kind of look forward to what will happen...how Dave and I will handle it...how much pain tolerance I actually have. Yes, I'll kick myself in the rear for saying this later on, but that's what I think as of right now.

Someone put a From Labor To Conception magazine in my box, and the pictures of each month's development are awesome. I sit and look at the magazine and am in awe that Caleb looks like a full on human being now. Thanks to whoever gave it to me.

I ate Korean food tonight and when I asked the lady if the miso soup was spicy she told me, "Yes, no good for the baby." So I told her that I love spicy and she said, "Okay, medium spicy only then." And when I chose seaweed as one of my choices, she nodded and said, "That one's good." Pretty funny. Then I proceeded to fill my cup with Coke and feel paranoid that people are looking at a pregnant lady drinking Coke. Too bad. She also guessed that I was having a boy and said it's because my stomach is all in the front. She said she had two girls and her stomach big all around. Such interesting tidbits.
