AKA: HOLY SHIT, I swallowed a basketball!

28 Weeks… 7 Months! (April 4, 2014). Okay, it’s official… I’m getting HUGE! This buddah belly is really shaping up… and out… and to the side! Our sweet girl is really getting big now and so are her kicks! She’s nearly 15 inches and weighs about 2.2 lbs… a real giant!!

Toby came to say hello!

It’s faint, but the linea nigra is there… also, my belly button is disappearing.

I don’t remember swallowing a basketball, but it appears as though I must have…

BaBAM! That’s a big belly. People are going to start rubbing it for good luck…

Symptoms

Well, besides feeling pretty damn giant, it’s pretty much business as usual. I will say, the past few days, I’ve really been missing my old body. Not that I don’t love being pregnant and love our sweet girl, but I miss… a) feeling sexy. That’s LONG gone. b) getting in a good close hug with my hubs. The belly really gets in the way. c) being able to get dressed easily. d) being able to run into a normal store and find a cute new outfit. Okay… enough bitching.

The positives… it’s FRIDAY! I’m pumped for this weekend. Tonight I’ll meet my lady friends out to celebrate a friend’s birthday and then tomorrow is Part 85 of the great nursery build. We got the pieces in to finish the dresser, we’re going to paint the doors and hopefully get those back on their hinges, get some pictures/mirror/decor hung up, and get the two guest bedrooms organized and ready for our house guests next weekend. And on Sunday, we have some friends coming over for grilled pizza… mmmm!

And, it’s crazy to think about, but next weekend is already my shower! How the heck did that happen? I could not be more excited. My mom and sister have been working hard and I’m pretty sure it’s going to be AMAZING. I can’t wait… at all… yay! Fun times ahead.
