Pregnancy Update

Things are going so well that I forgot to update everyone on my doctor's visit last week. I'm still contracting away, but my cervix is holding strong. I'm pretty much up to regular activity level now, well, as regular as you can be with a big belly. I suppose I need to start doing some belly pictures soon, but lately I've been trying to avoid the camera. The wardrobe is rather lacking, my face is growing another chin, and when I take my socks off, I have rings around my ankles. If the baby is growing in my belly, why is everything else growing too? Part of the problem could be that I've been eating any and everything I want. After a four pound increase in weight in the last two weeks, I guess I need to work on that. (Funny how pregnancy will make you talk about anything. I'm pretty sure I won't be announcing any weight gains when I'm not pregnant).


I think both James and I are nesting. We had a major clean out this weekend. We had to fit an antique headboard, footboard and two mattresses into our conditioned storage area. Thanks to Ernie (the master packer) we were able to make it fit and actually have more room than we did before. We cleaned out almost every closet, drawer, and storage area in the house, and boy does it feel good. We were both exhausted, but as soon as we opened another drawer, we couldn't resist cleaning it out. I even cleaned up the computer, putting everything on back up discs. Whew, let's just hope we can keep it this way.


Now that we have everything cleaned out, it's time to start working on the nursery. My goal is to have it done by the end of April. I hope to take some before and after shots soon to post.
