Friends and babies

I've found that my social circle is changing. Most of my friends who are single and not knocked up are not really inviting me out anymore. The phone calls get less and less and the invites all together for social outings has nearly come to a halt. At the same time, I also seem to be gravitating towards women who have children, whether single or married. It's interesting the way life works. I admit, I am still that "wild child" who likes to get dolled up with her vintage boots, cigarette pants and funky top for a night of dancing. That part of me will never die.

It's amazing what pregnancy will do to you. Women gravitate towards you and want to talk about your baby, your due date and how great you look, etc. Men on the other hand will make eye contact and smile. As they scan my body, you see them immediately look the other way; baggage I guess.

I love the idea babysrus has. They have not only handicap parking at the very front, but expectant mothers to be directly next to their handicap parking:) Ahhh..there are definitely "perks" to being pregnant!

Today I had my first of the start of my "two week" midwife appointments. It marks a significant milestone in my pregnancy, b/c the "big day" is only 6 weeks away! I am 33 weeks and 4 days today and I measured at 32cm. I didn't gain any weight; probably because I am on my feet for 12 hours during the day while working. Or, perhaps it's luck. Or, I am going to blow up here in a few weeks before giving birth!

Dear son,

I've come up with a few more names for you that I like. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick my top three names, meet you and then name you. I'm feeling pretty strong about seeing you before naming you! You have these corky habits while inside the womb, I cannot imagine naming you before meeting you. You love to kick and wriggle around. Today I watched as you moved from the right of my abdomen, all the way to the left side near my back! Talk about bizarre!!

I still cannot figure out your sleep patterns. You definitely are not a fan of my alarm clock. You immediately start kicking me as if to say "turn that thing down." Sometimes I feel you kicking at 3am when I get up for my midmorning bathroom break. Most of the time though, you're sleeping. The other day in the shower when I tapped on my tummy as I was talking to you and you jumped and it made me jump. I never thought I would feel you jump in the womb. But, I promise to try and not scare you like that again sweetie! Keep kicking and growing my son:)

Love mom xxo
