31 weeks; 9 to go!

Ahhh! Single digit countdown!!!

31 weeks today and I can I just say HOLY BRAXTON HICKS.  I am having so many "practice" contractions every day it is not even funny.  To the point where I am actually timing them just because they seem so frequent sometimes. It's kinda freaking me out.

The other thing that's freaking me out is my gigantic alien belly.  I just sit on the couch now and watch my belly morph and ripple.  Hubs can see it from all the way across the room. It's kind of awesome in a sense but it is also slightly disturbing. The day I see an actual foot will be the day I stop watching.

Belly button is getting dangerously shallow and I'm officially up 11 lbs.  Here's the bump!



Aren't I pretty?  Also, different bathroom this week - very exciting.  (Really it's because I took this pic earlier in the week and I am way too tired to put on clothes today to take a new picture.  Plus the other bathroom is upstairs and that would just require too much effort on my part. Can you tell I'm tired now?)

So as you can see, I am officially big now. And apparently everyone else thinks so too because direct quote from a coworker this week who hasn't seen me in a little bit:  "Holy CRAP! You're HUUUUGE!"
Gee, thanks. That's my favorite reaction :-/

And speaking of work, it is fucking crazy and I cannot wait to go out on maternity leave.  However, good news is that I had a meeting with my boss earlier this week and she agreed to let me decide for myself when I want to come into the office now. I work from home part time as it is (since I live and work in different states) and it has just gotten so difficult to actually go in since it ends up being such a long day with the commute (particularly with the 8 billion feet of snow we've received in the Boston area in the last month).  So depending on how I can move meetings around, I may have already had my last FULL day in the office. Yay!

Lastly, check out the onesie I got off of Etsy.  LOVE!  Can't wait to put our little (still nameless) son in it! :-)

  5. Braxton Hicks are totally kicking my butt too. I panicked a little last night when I had two fairly close together that were actually pretty strong. You look awesome! So glad you can work from home - how nice on those cold, icky days.
