My routine doctor visits are now scheduled every two weeks. While I find those doctor visits a little repetitive and slightly annoying because I have to miss some work, I always enjoy hearing my child’s heartbeat. It is usually a steady & healthy 140 bpm.
Meet Raustin! He was our kitten for 2 weeks before we had to give him away due to his kitty smell. |
I have had a total of four different people touch my stomach, and all of them made me feel very awkward. I’m not sure what the consensus is about people touching your stomach, but I feel very odd when people try to touch mine, but even more awkward when they succeed. I mean, usually the child isn't even moving, so people are essentially touching just your regular stomach. How would you feel if someone came up to you and put their hand on your stomach? I tell you, it’s just little weird. Or maybe most pregnant people love it, and I’m just weird because I have a bubble that is not to be invaded.
Working five days a week is proving to be difficult. Tiredness has no boundaries, and this has become clearer every day when I go to work. Sitting at a desk five days a week just isn't as easy as it used to be.

I feel bad for Austin because I’m sure he hasn't gotten seven nights in a row of uninterrupted sleep in quite a long time. Unfortunately, the frequent trips to the bathroom, tossing & turning, leg cramps, and the several pillows I sleep with aren't compatible for co-sleeping.
I’m supposed to be drinking eight cups of water (64 fl. Oz) every day. For someone who just doesn't get thirsty, the struggle is real. Very real. I constantly have to remind myself that I need to drink water, and then some.
Nine times out of ten I’m craving ice cream. Any good flavor will do. My friendship with ice cream (or really any dairy) is bittersweet. I love the way it tastes, but it most often makes my stomach hurt. However, the want for ice cream has been great during this pregnancy, and thus my willpower to say no has not been overcome. Austin is always teasing because he says I never wanted ice cream this frequently before. I would have to agree.
We're going to be great parents. Obviously. |
