Well I officially look pregnant to the common man... people are finally brave enough to ask "so when are you due"& I'm thrilled to tell them. I get lots of comments about Christmas babies and how they are robbed of presents and parties, but it's not like there is anything I can do about it at this point... babies are born when they are born and she/he will be the BEST Christmas present I've ever received.
Speaking of he/she... we find out whether it is a "he" or a "she" next Tuesday... just 6 days away! I can't wait to find out and start calling the little one by their name.
I've been feeling much better, my energy level is finally back to normal and I am definitely getting the "nesting" instincts going. Last Saturday I had the worst case of heartburn known to man after some cajun food on Friday night... it was SO bad it was actually making my upper back hurt! I have new sympathy for anyone who experiences that on a regular basis. I also broke out into hives that night (I'm a fun Saturday night date aren't I?) and I was thrilled to wake up Sunday and have both gone.
I've started to feel kicks, usually in the afternoon after I've had lunch... the are like little taps sometimes a few in a row... it's the most AMAZING feeling in the world! I can't wait until they get stronger and Roger can feel them, I feel like he is missing it on it at this point.
Roger and I are gearing up for the 2007 White Trash Party and I'm very excited to be able to come as the first "actual" pregnant lady to the party... I've been working on the perfect outfit this past week and it's turned out really cute. Pics to be shared soon... they are always pretty entertaining!!
