Holidays and Disbelief

Happy Independence Day U.S.ians! (and I'm very sorry I missed Canada Day. :( - July 1st)

Still pregnant and really starting to pop out that stomach now. It's weird. I think I can feel the top of my uterus when I push around just beneath my belly button. It feels hard and not normal. It also feels like I'm touching an internal organ, and that it's just wrong to do so. ha. I'm also noticing that when I bend over, it feels like there's a log in there restricting the motion. It's nothing like being bloated. Most of the bloat seems to be easing substantially.

Getting out of bed and changing positions is becoming tricky as well since the round ligaments protest long and loudly if I do it the "incorrect" way. On the good front though, food aversions are easing considerably along with a lot of the nausea! NOW I'll eat tons of food and show that doctor (and some of my friends) what a REAL weight gain means. hahahaha (picture that as a wicked laugh)

It's starting to become easier to believe that this is happening to us, but it's still just a bit beyond my brain's full comprehension. How did this happen to US of all people? I feel like I must be celebrating for a friend and this pregnancy stuff is all just sympathy pregnancy. Seriously mind blowing.

You'll have to get with the belly pictures soon. That way everyone can tell you that you look good.

I know just what you mean. Even at 28 weeks, sometimes I stop and think, "Holy crap, I'm pregnant!"

Belly pics are a must!

yes, that is EXACTLY what it feels like -- touching an internal organ. it does feel wrong somehow, at least at first.

As a canadian living in the US, i appreciate your happy canada day wishes. most people have no idea. happy fourth.

Thanks everybody! Yeah, I'm pretty behind with photos. At first it was like I would be tempting fate. Now I've just been lazy. ;-)

Rebecca - Hubby is a proud Canadian. :) We used to do the whole week thing with the 1st through the 4th celebrations when we lived on the border.
