Something about how the doctors at the hospital would do their darndest to keep my baby alive if she were born today makes me feel equal parts affection for those in the medical field (look! I’m giving them shoutouts!) and equal parts total terror that this is all for real. She is going to be outside of my womb in give or take 16 weeks, and she’s going to have tiny hairs on her earlobes that are even cuter and more snookerable than the tiny hairs on Matt’s earlobes. I know. Hard to imagine.
She’s moving all the time now, and Matt regularly gets to feel her. Sometimes she makes me feel a bit uncomfortable, but I certainly wouldn’t classify any of it as pain at this point. I have had very, very little back pain which is SHOCKING for me. I’d go so far as to say I have very few negative side affects these days, just an undying need to be eating 24/7. I have no stretch marks on my belly… wait for it… but my butt looks like planet Earth from space.
Um, I really don’t know how to say this in an… appropriate… way, but I’ll try. I mean, it’s inevitable. You come to this blog and you know that sooner or later, me being a pregnant woman and all, I’m gonna talk about the girls. So here it is. It’s hard to know when one looks at me which is bigger right now, my uterus or the two gallons of half and half I’m carting around.
I’ve pretty much decided that I would be very happy having two kids, although Matt would like a couple more. We’ll see about how things go, and I might wind up pulling through for him cause he’s such a nice guy. But I tell you what, Matt, if you could somehow arrange for these girls to be sucked dry back to, maybe a B cup after a fourth or fifth kid, SIGN ME UP!!

Ugh, seriously you guys, between the beautiful pregnant woman, the dog, the cat, the doting husband and the new house you people are really starting to tap my gag reflex…J/K J/K You look Fab and I’m so frickin’ jealous but more than that I am deliriously happy for you.
