The baby gets the hiccups every day. They last for a while. Apparently this is what happens when the baby experiments with breathing! They told me the activity should be slowed down some, but either there is an increase, or I just feel more the of the movements because of the baby's size. I cannot believe in less than 2 months my due date will be here...and I could very well already be holding my little one.
I am so in love with the little one already, and I know it will just be so much worse when I see him or her. I am already melting thinking of the first moment we have outside of the belly.
Sleep has actually gotten better, which baffles me considering my size and all. It is just that I figured out how to not let my legs get bad. I think that was the real issue. My back only seems to hurt when I sit so that isn't messing with my sleep anymore either.
We still cannot decide on names.
My only qualm is my very limited wardrobe. I don't mind people seeing me in the same things day in and day out, but I have to find ways to wash clothes frequently which is certainly an annoyance. I have this beautiful white top (non-maternity) that fits very well now that I am pregnant. I hadn't worn it because I had thought it was stained and I was going to use the material for something else. I washed it, the problem came RIGHT OUT even though I had already hand washed this sucker. Then I promptly wore it the next day because it was so comfy...Z made me a turkey burger and I generously smothered my ketchup and mustard on it only to have the combo splatter and drip onto my top (haven't I learned by now to wear a bib). I googled "get ketchup stain out" and saw run under cold water immediately. So I did. Then I googled "get mustard stain out" and kept seeing not to run under water. Too late. I patted the stain, but stain removal liquid on it, let it sit, and it is waiting to be washed. I think it would be hilarious if it didn't come out, because then I will officially have the stained beautiful, white top. I got to wear it one day at least! Z told me I am going to have to dip my turkey burgers into mustard and ketchup separately while pregnant to avoid these ordeals, so I can remove one stain without it interfering with the other. It stressed him out to see me run around as big as I am from the computer to the sink, almost falling and bumping into things. He didn't know what I was doing until after I had finished with the stain removal because I was so focused and not responding well to his inquiries. What makes me crack up a little more is that as soon as I got home he said considering my track record I should probably change shirts since we'd be eating soon. I agreed, but then promptly we both forgot because the dog did something cute.
We found two beautiful, well priced apartments, and now it looks like we cannot have either one. I am so disheartened by the whole process of looking for apartments now because I know we cannot find something with that square footage, in that area, for that price, ever again (with parking, with dogs allowed, with washer and dryer hook-ups). A lot of the better parts of the Long Beach and Lakewood won't take dogs.
