So, I'm officially 32 weeks pregnant, with only 8 weeks to go (hopefully). The baby is now 4 pounds, almost 18 inches, has blue eyes and is VERY sensitive to temperature. A cold hand on my back is NOT appreciated anymore!! Other than that, not much to update. The house is about 50% clean, and I'm working on getting some of the other stuff knocked out before we leave today. Josh's company party is today, and he invited Chris as his 1 guest. Tomorrow, I work, and Chris wants to leave for another party right after I get off... he wants me to try and get off early, which I told him wasn't about to happen.
It's not like the party will disappear if we don't show up right when it starts!! Besides which, I probably won't even know anyone there, they'll all be drinking, and I'm just going to sit there looking around and feeling stupid. *sigh* That's enough of my bitter, self-centeredness for today. Time to put on a happy face and go clean the house. Not like I really want to do that either.... I just want to find a comfortable position and STAY IN IT!

30 weeks...
seems like such a long time, but it really isn't. I'm now 30 weeks and 3 days pregnant, and starting to experience all kinds of new things. Let's just start with the contractions: I didn't expect them to stop me in my tracks, or start when I was laughing!!
Leg cramps are NO fun, but I can deal with them. What I can't deal with is my legs suddenly giving out underneath me, and having to grab at something to keep from falling right on my belly! Yes, that happened at work one day.... thank God I managed to catch myself, if I didn't catch the coffee pot.
We figured out where all the baby's bits and pieces were last night... Jen could very clearly feel his head, back, butt and legs! It was the strangest thing to pat around his head, because I was suddenly afraid of poking him in the eye! I know, it's pretty much impossible, but still... I was paranoid.
The Christmas (party) season has begun... we've got 4 to go to in the next 2 weeks! 1 of them is my work party, and 1 I'm basically getting dragged to so that Chris and Josh can get completely hammered and still make it home in one piece. Do they really think I WANT to be smelling alcohol all night when I can't even have a sip??!?? Chris and I will be talking about this in the near future, and I'll probably just get so frustrated with him that I just give in... like always.
*sigh* men... can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

Ok, I'll take my own hint...
and update again. I am currently 29 weeks and 5 days pregnant, and can't WAIT to meet the little person that's been keeping me up so many nights. I've finished making Christmas cards, and we're sending them out on Thursday. Dad and I are finally seeing Hairspray (been trying to do that for close to a month now), and I'm going to try AGAIN to schedule something with Jos. Even if it's just a GH marathon between the two of us... still it's something.
Meliss and Michelle are coming in soon!!!!!! I'm doing my snoopy dance already!! YAY!!!
I've been taking bets all day today on how early/late Ronnie will get here, and so far the earliest I've heard is Feb 1, and the latest I've heard is end of Feb. He's due on the 14th, but I know babies rarely actually come out on their due dates. Still crossing my fingers on that c-section thing, but now that I know I don't have GD, that's a weight off my shoulders. No diet adjustments, no extra concerns (as if I don't have enough!!) and no additional u/s.
The landlord is still trying to sell the whole block, which will be a little scary if he decides not to renew our lease at the end of this month. I'm starting to look for a new place around here... has to be at least 2 bed, within a 10 mile radius. The landlord's asking $950K when the entire block appraised for less than $400K. So, as if being pregnant wasn't enough, now I have to worry about MOVING while hugely pregnant.
Yes, I am huge. I'm turning sideways for everything from dishes to working the register, and still having pillow fights. I got smart and started using my body pillow, which Chris HATES, since it's one more thing between him and me when he's trying to snuggle. I've gotten a little bit clingy with him lately, and I don't know why... it's not like I'm afraid of him leaving or anything. I know he'd never do that to me, not after the discussions we had a few months ago. I just... like having him around in case anything happens, I guess. That and he gives a KILLER backrub. Very appreciated nowadays.
