Seven Months!

Oh my goodness gracious, this is really going to happen! We're so close now, and I'm starting to feel frantic about getting things done! Once his nursery is in place, and we have a better grip on where the hospital is etc, I think I'll feel better. I may have to take up some people on their offers of help. For those of you I know who may wonder why I've been turning down social engagements... well this is part of it. I feel like I need every weekend to get this stuff done. And Hub is always so busy, I just get snippets of his time. OK. If I don't stop, I'll work myself into a tizzy.

So to honor the seven months, I have a moment I'd like to always remember from the little one.

When I hunker down to do something, the babybutt often starts rumbling around a little. Then he taps me lightly a few times.. then a few times more. I always feel like he's saying in a sweet little voice, "Um. Mom? Excuse me. Excuse me? But I'm feeling a little scrunched in here. Have you noticed? Hello?" Then the taps will become a little harder and a little more frequent. "OK Mom. Seriously. This isn't comfortable. Do you think you could maybe move?" Then there are a few actual pops and rolls. "All right. I'm sorry to say this, but if you don't move soon, I'm going to have to be a bit more insistent. I mean it!" And then finally come the kicks and rolls that startle an "OOF!" out of me. It really cracks me up every time I feel it and imagine the little scenario in my head. I don't do it on purpose. Sometimes I have to be hunkered like I am for a particular task. But man does he not appreciate that. As I've said before, that is just NOT acceptable.

And here are some nice Hub quotes from last night:

"I love your pregnant belly!"
"I missed you so so so much!"
"I can't wait to meet the baby. He's going to be so cute!"
(In response to my discomfort when getting in bed...) "Aaaaaw. Baby. I'm sorry."

Photo to come, but I feel like I look enormous in it. And even though the doctor declares me right on target, I'm starting to feel a bit insecure from all the "You're enormous!" comments. It makes me hesitant to post photos.

Enormous pictures are good! Helps us to see the baby, LOL!

Heather said...

Amen on taking time for yourself to get stuff done - the time flies by way too fast!!

KayBee said...

I don't think you have the body type to EVER be "enormous". Bring on the pics!! You're doing great :)

Cute quotes. My DH makes announcements of me coming in the room in the form of "waddlewaddlewaddle". Gee thanks.

Michelle said...

Aww your hubby is sweet!

That is exactly what I would imagine the babybutt saying as well. That is too cute.

Barb said...

haha. Thanks Michele. I'll get on it.

Thanks Heath! Oh it does! xo

Thanks KB. :D

WB - boys can be really dumb sometimes. Hub sometimes makes comments in a similar fashion, but the sting is taken out of them by the fact that he says how cute I am way more. You just have to tell DH to balance the jokes! haha.

Glad you imagine the same thing Michelle. :)
