33.5 weeks!
So - I had avoided taking another belly photo. I was waiting for a day when I might actually be wearing make-up or putting in some effort. However, getting out of bed and working 9 hours is about all I've got right now, and the rest is just the cherry on top. Don't expect any cherries out of me for the foreseeable future.
So - here I am... in all my pregnant splendor. And let me tell you something about my belly: I'm proud of it. I get tons of emails everyday about pregnancy and everything that goes into it. There seem to be a ridiculous number of women who want to know how to keep people's hands off their bellies. I can't completely identify - maybe I haven't been fondled by enough strangers yet. I've always been a hugger, so I don't have much of a problem with physical closeness.
I rub my belly all the time. I feel for little feet or knees or elbows or whatever that is that's poking me now, and I poke back. I massage. I knead. I love on him. I play with him.
Bo is already my most incredible accomplishment ever, and I want to share him with the world. I want other people to know how strong he is, how hard he can kick, how squirmy and fun he is. I'll gladly share him with you. Just let me know.

Have you shined a light on your tummy to watch him squirm away from it? It was one of my favorite things to do! And I want you to have him like, tomorrow (except not really, because that's your shower) because I want you to be able to pick him up and snuggle him and play with him and kiss his nose for reals. :) Love you and your belly! It only gets better from here!
ReplyDeleteI shined the light a couple of times, but didn't get any movement... then I got paranoid and convinced that maybe he was blind. So I haven't tried it again. Soooo excited! Love you and yours!
DeleteThat's the best part of pregnancy - feeling them kick, punch, roll. I loved it. Both pregnancies, I would sit quietly every morning and evening and wait for my little guy to say hello.
ReplyDeleteHave a smooth rest-of-pregnancy!
Thanks! It's soooo intense now... guess he's running out of 'womb'! Bwahahaha.
