36 weeks and... 2 days


So summer finally arrived this week and we actually had a heat wave of 90 degree weather. Aside from the A/C at work not cooperating and our offices maintaining a sweatastic temperature of 88 degrees, I've been doing pretty well! The car's A/C works super and having central air at home I can almost pretend that there isn't a heat wave... except for when I need an excuse to go out for ice cream.
Between me and the little miss who is renting space from within, we are beginning to run out of room. She'll shift her feet or legs and kick my arm or push my tummy away from the table if I happen to be sitting too close. However at the same time, she is playing a game of cat n' mouse with daddy and likes to lay still whenever he tries to get a feel for what she's up to.
Mummy finally noticed a few wonderful stretch marks on her tummy this week - damn lil trouble maker better be wicked cute & happy all the time, so when I finally can see anything below my belly button without the help of a mirror, I can atleast be reminded that my vanity took a back seat for a wonderful addition to my life (which I'm sure she will be).
Other than that and still being hungry a lot I feel very good & sometimes when I walk around I don't even feel like I'm 8.5 months pregnant... however other times - especially after sitting awhile I will get up and feel like I'm carrying a cannon ball. Time is ticking away though and it won't be much longer until we see what all the fuss is about.

  1. I am not sure if it makes you feel any better but I think you are technically 9 months pregnant already. You will be ten months pregnant when you give birth. (If we assume that a month is 4 weeks long and you give birth at 40 weeks.)

    P.S. Stay cool!

  2. Yea, I think the 10 month 40 week thing is kind of silly - for the first 2 weeks you aren't even pregnant and in what other situation do we go by lunar months and not calendar months?
