Pregnancy

Joanna here.
Below are some pictures taken periodically throughout the first seven months of my pregnancy that i thought you might enjoy. I’m 30 weeks along now, and I can’t believe it’s getting so close. Pregnancy has been an adventure. In the beginning I was sick all the time, but other than that, it really hasn’t been so bad. One of the best things has been feeling the baby move. It’s like I’m already getting to know her a little bit. Anyway, I won’t go on and on about pregnancy, but I have compiled a short list of what life is like for me in the third trimester:
1. I can no longer put on my own socks.
2. I can still cook a meal, as long as I remember to ask Bob to get anything I may need from the bottom of the refrigerator or the bottom cabinets.
3. I never knew heartburn could be so unbearable… so I’m sticking to several bowls of cereal and milk each day.
4. Stretch marks itch. Who knew?
5. As soon as I entered the third trimester a light came on, and it occurred to me that we need to paint the baby room right away! No more delaying; the baby is coming soon! (We still have yet to paint the baby room.)
6. Going to sleep at night requires about four pillows strategically placed all around me.
7. Last night a friend interviewed me about pregnancy for one of her classes. One of the questions she asked me was if I have a strategic plan for when the baby is born… Suddenly it occurred to me that I need to stop thinking just about pregnancy and labor and start thinking about what to do when the baby comes. Needless to say, after the interview, Bob and I drove to the only bookstore in town and bought a book on babies. Now I guess I’m in the process of making a strategic plan.
8. And lastly, this is the first time since knowing Bob that he feels cold and I don’t.

Yay, great update! I don’t think we had a baby plan either, and we’re surviving, so don’t fret! Baby Betsy is coming soon and the Glodjos are very excited (even John Elliot, though he can’t say so yet).
Joanna, I really like your list and the pictures. I will be so glad to see you again. Love the blog and all the interesting info. Thanks for sharing.
