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!

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! :-)
Woohoo single digit weeks! That is too funny about your husband being able to see your stomach move from across the room!
ReplyDeleteLove the onesie!
So happy for you - you look great. Hoping these last few weeks are happy and uneventful. Enjoy the working from home (my company doesn't allow us to do that very often - boo!)
ReplyDeleteSINGLE DIGITS!!!! So freaking exciting!!
ReplyDeleteOh alien bump, I remember you! Simultaneously cool and creepy I thought! I'm so glad to hear your boss is being understanding about your need for flexibility right now, making people is hard work :P
I so love that onesie :)
Love to you and Rainbow (and S and Petey, too <3 )
You look gorgeous!! Yay for single digit weeks!
ReplyDeleteBraxton 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.
ReplyDeleteLate to the party but I am so excited for you!!!! Not for the Braxton Hicks, that sounds like no fun, but for the single digit weeks! YAY!!!!! That onsie is adorable, I love it! FX those practice contractions let up and you feel less tired :) <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteI CANNOT WAIT TO MEET THIS LITTLE BABY!!!! And no matter what, you look great - that is a cute bump you have!
ReplyDeleteYou are BEAUTIFUL!! I love your bump (and want to smack your colleague!!) and the adorable baby boy in there :)
