These days I feel a lot like Danny Devito playing the Penguin in Batman...definitely NOT like Michelle Pfeiffer as the very svelte Catwoman! Yes, I am waddling and there is no stopping it...help! I started waddling a couple of weeks ago and I am not really sure how it happened, but it has happened and I still have 2 or so months to go. I might have to rent a Lark Scooter before all of this is over...maybe I'll get a basket on the front of it to carry Luke around with me. I would definitely get places faster if I had a scooter, but I am pretty sure Kane wouldn't be seen with me. My wedding rings now longer fit either, so I just look knocked up. Oh the looks old ladies give me is hysterical...like they want to take me to church and save me! The best looks I got were when Kane ran to get me a cookie at the Magic game and I waited in line at the beer stand with our friends and bought a beer for him...talk about stares...it was great. It is amazing how people judge you without ever having said hello to you before.
I also feel like there is an alien invasion in my belly since the babies have started moving so much lately. We can't make out exactly which limb we are seeing, but we know they are either hands or feet moving across my belly...mainly from her since she is facing up, but he is facing down. I can't believe how strong they are getting. We went to the Dr. on February 23rd and she weighs 2 lbs 7oz and he weighs 2 lbs and 5oz. We will go for another ultra sound on March 23rd (3 days before my 30th bday...yikes!) and we know they will definitely weigh over 3 lbs maybe even 4. They are starting to be quite the little load to carry around. I am measuring as if I am full term (if I were carrying one), so the pregnancy is getting harder for sure. Luckily I will start working from home 4 or so days a week starting tomorrow...I love my company! The doctor has put me on partial bedrest and I can't really walk or I should really say waddle long distances anymore...see this is why I need the Lark...lol!
The babies' room is coming along and I will post pictures soon. For this posting I have included some shower pictures from New Orleans and a picture of me at 27 weeks. Next week I will officially be 7 months...man time sure does fly! We had an amazing time at the shower, but remind me never to wear panty hose while pregnant ever again. Kane had to help me put them...talk about hysterical!
The count down to May continues...anyone placing bets on when I'll deliver? I'll help you out the doctor says it will be any where between May 1 and May 16, which will be between 36-38 weeks.
