Week 35

Is it weird that I can’t remember a time BEFORE I GOT PREGNANT. No, I’m kidding, but it sure does feel like that. Baby Sorensen is basically ginormous now-18 inches long, 5 1/2 pounds, about the size of a honeydew melon. According to my books, this baby is squishing all of my other organs including my heart, which actually shifts positions at this point. Are you kidding me.

I feel better now than I did a few weeks ago and I credit that to the Emancipation from Full Time Work Proclamation. I’m nesting and organizing and getting things done and it is wonderful. Our nursery is coming together SPLENDIDLY- I will post pictures soon because it is turning out so cute.

The baby moves more than ever now, especially at night between 8-10 pm. She wiggles and kicks and it is so entertaining! Also, I find myself swaying all. the. time. I sway when I sit, I sway when I stand, I sway when I put mascara on. Did this happen to any of you other pregnant ladies? My coworker tells me to stop because it makes her nauseous, I don’t even realize I’m doing it. What can I say, this baby likes to be rocked.

Here’s another fun bit of information: I am growing out of my maternity clothes! So fun! No really it isn’t fun. I’m so close to the end, its like do I go buy a few things to tide me over? Or do I just throw in the towel and look like a hobo until the baby comes? Decisions!

I had a visit with my doctor this week and he said everything looks good, I’m just rounding third base with home plate in sight- except I’m not sure the base coach is waving me in. I have had zero signs of imminent labor, which is good since I need this baby to bake a bit longer. I predict the baby’s arrival to be sometime in 2010.

Jazz quote of the week: I was showing him an outfit we had received as a gift- it was a cute dress with matching bloomers. He picked up the bloomers and said, “Oh hey, look! It comes with matching Spanx!”
