Eighth Month
So the fun with pregnancy continues! I am so excited to have tons of friends and family visit in the next few months. Thanks to all of you in advance for your offer to help get the place ready for baby girl!
I am really beginning to start feeling pregnant. I am fortunate only to begin feeling the worst of it now, in my eighth month. It has become increasingly difficult to play flute because of the great pressure that builds in my abdomen. I am starting to take it easy on the practing and begin to focus just on baby. It is harder to sleep and then get back to sleep. No more sleeping in late. Hips ache which makes housework hard (so don’t expect too much to be done when you come!) Nightmares! I am having worse visions and images than most horror movies. I think that I might write one now.
However, it’s not just physical ailments. We are having to grow up! We had to give up my Integra on Saturday. Don’t get me wrong, we were very blessed to have sold it so quickly and gotten a great price for it–but, I am not sure that I am ready for a momma mobile.
For humor, because there is never too much during this time, I thought I would quote from a great book, “Pregnancy Sucks for Men.”
I decided that, in some ways, having a pregnant wife was like dating a famous actress. They’re both insecure about their looks. They both need constant attention. And they both think that they’re fat. They’re also temperamental, need new clothing every month, and everywhere they go, people stare and want to touch them.
Yeah, it’s pretty close to that. I would add, both are having parties hosted for them, centered on them, and where they discuss things that are totally foreign. Melanie and Kari are hosting a shower for me next month. They joked that it would be great to show birthing videos on projectors in every room.
What a fun time of life.
Love

Baby girl smiling at us! I don’t see a chin…I guess she can’t be a flutist! (Yeah!)
