I can’t wait until I’m old so I can say whatever I want to people. For example, I had a doctor’s appointment yesterday and I was sitting in the waiting room across from an old couple who didn’t speak much English. The old man pointed to me and said, “Two? Two babies?” I said, “No, just one.” And then he said, “Whoa. Big.” Thanks, old man!
So, to offset my disappointment of being so huge I look like I’m having twins, I made a yummy roast for dinner.
Holy crap! I’ve been getting huge lately! I feel like my tummy’s grown by 10X the last two weeks. And I still have 3 1/2 months left. I can’t even imagine how much bigger I’m going to get. Unfortunately I am really, really short so there’s nowhere for the baby to go but straight out. My midwife, Mindy, says that I’m measuring a little ahead but she thinks that’s because the baby’s having a growth spurt. He can now been felt on the outside of my tummy so that’s been pretty cool.
Craig and I saw The Dark Knight yesterday. I loved it! It’s a bit long though. By the end my feet and ankles were about the size of tree trunks. Huge tree trunks. And the baby was going crazy the whole time because he does that when there’s loud noises.
The baby had the hiccups a couple of weeks ago. That is such a weird feeling! And he’s definitely Craig’s baby! He doesn’t like to be touched either. He kicks the doctor every time she tries to hear his heartbeat and he moves away whenever somebody rubs my tummy where he’s at. Including me! Apparently he just wants to he left alone. 
I had my ultrasound last Friday and we found out we are having a boy. Craig’s super excited about having a boy. He was a little upset that the doctor thought it was going to be a girl. Everything on the baby looked good and my due date is right. Everybody insists on calling him Captain and I have accidently called him that a couple of times (shaking fist). I’ve told Craig that even if he’s going to call the baby Captain we are not naming him that! I haven’t found any names that really stand out to me. Boy names are hard! I guess we have a few months to think about it.
So, I’ve succumbed to the pressure of weblogging. I haven’t told Craig about this yet and I’m pretty sure that when I do he’s going to give me “that look”. He says the look doesn’t mean anything but I’m fairly certain it means “you are so dumb!”.
