Recently

It's been a while since I posted anything. Sean is knee-deep in his last semester of undergraduate work. He's taking a huge load so he can be done in December rather than April. I'm still working full time and enjoying most of it. Patients have started to ask if I'm pregnant (yes they can tell even through our big green scrubs). It's weird when I have a triage patient whose due date is close to mine. Scary! I hope I don't need to go to the hospital for any reason anytime soon.

I can't fit into my regular pants and shorts anymore but most maternity stuff still seems kind of baggy. Maternity clothes are expensive. Goodness I don't like the idea of having to buy a whole new wardrobe. I've picked up a few clearance items here and there and will try to make things work as long as possible.

I've felt the baby move a lot now and it's so exciting. Sometimes I forget I'm pregnant (when there are no mirrors around and I'm busy) and then he'll give a big kick and I'll remember that I have a baby inside of me. It's fun. Sean has been able to feel him move a few times. Yesterday I was talking on the phone to my mom and baby was really active. I motioned for Sean to come near me and just watch my tummy. We could see from the outside the little bulges and kicks going on inside.

Remember that bad hair cut I got a few months ago? Well I finally went and had it fixed. I should have done it a long time ago but oh well. When I got there the lady could totally tell and said, "wow, the back really is longer than the front and she went a little crazy on the sides." It's evened up now and I think it'll be better.

Me at 24 weeks.
Me at 22 weeks.
This is the only pair of maternity shorts I own so I will probably be wearing them in every picture until winter comes and it's cool enough for pants. =) Sorry, no variety.
No crazy cravings yet. I do really enjoy fruit, especially red grapes. Yum. I could eat lots of them every day. I don't really think that's related to pregnancy though.
As far as names go, we're still trying to decide. We have a few in mind. It's hard to agree on names. We'll see when it gets closer to delivery time.
