Highlights

Now I am officially 8 months...here is the "catch you up" version on changes:
  • I have just under 2 months to go as a human incubator (aka The Vessel --my friends are too creative)
  • Baby Max is using my bladder as a bouncy house
  • I joke that if we played a game like "if I could be any sports car, I'd be..." that I'd be a Winnebago with a pop out living room extension
  • Currently Max is working on adding an expansion wing to his "mansion"
  • My belly button has not completely unraveled (yet) --it is dangerously close
  • When he has the hiccups I think it is hilarious
  • Now as he wiggles and flips I feel distinct bum, head, kicks and punches
  • I wake up in the middle of the night all the time to either pee or just turn my massive self onto the other side
  • Reaching down I can put my hand on him, feeling distinctly a child in there! Squee!!!

Disclaimer: These are only truths for me and I am barely an expert on what is happening to me right now. Never repeat these to another prego and think you are funny. Also, never comment on her weight/size, ever (never, ever). Humor may be the main objective you have...but seriously, value your life and don't upset a prego, we are going through enough getting our minds wrapped around all these changes.

My Husband, My Hero

My husband is my hero. Not only did he paint the baby's room...he also removed a TREE from the toilet!!!

Check out the photo. Thank heavens my hubby is a handy man...he took off the porcelain to find this massive root infestation creeping around the wax ring at the base of the toilet!!! (And to clarify, thankfully that is mud). Thank you Curtis, I am so proud that you can do stuff like this!
