A Whole Lotta Woman...

...that'd be me:

I'm starting to assume epic proportions. I figure any day now NASA (or whoever is in charge of these things) is going to call me up and say "We've been looking for a new ninth planet to replace Pluto. We think, considering how you now have your own gravitational field, you might be the perfect candidate".

When I'm out and about in the world people tell me I don't have a very big belly for someone 8 months pregnant and sometimes, looking down at myself, I don't feel very big either. When I'm up and about though, I feel gigantic. I didn't gain weight all over when I was pregnant with the girls but I think this time I'm even more 'out front' than I was with them. My centre of gravity is all messed up and I have gotten pretty clumsy. The baby is really low and I can get a really sexy waddle going sometimes, especially if I'm in a hurry or I've been on my feet for a long time.

I feel really good though. I am starting to get tired and the little fella is super busy and likes to wake me up in the middle of the night (he's getting me geared up for those 2 AM feedings) but those are minor complaints. I can't say I'm ready to have a new baby in the house. I have picked up some boy clothes so the wee darling won't have to come home in a pink dress but otherwise I'm just enjoying the pregnancy since it is most likely going to be the last one (I'd say that with more certainty except I've never been that definite about anything in my life...decisions and I don't get along).

The girls, on the other hand, are eager to meet their little brother. Claire whines about having to wait and wait and wait for him to "come out of your belly". They've both named him. Claire insists we name him "Daniel" and Jillian wants to call him "Bacon" (seriously...she does!). Not surprisingly, we haven't made a decision about his name yet. I probably won't be sure till I see him up close and personal.

I have been keeping busy with a lot of other things and that is cutting into my computer/blogging time. It should get better soon as I recently stopped working (woo hoo) and my husband's crazy out of town travel stint has all but ended. I have been knitting like a woman possessed and will have to trot out the knits on the blog soon.

Till then - try not to get sucked into my orbit ;)
