Oh my, how the time has flown by. Only one month to go (give or take a week), and baby will be here! Even though I've been pregnant now since mid January, I still get surprised at my profile in the mirror (yup, there definitely is a belly there) and forget that I can't do some things. Take, for example, the fact that the beautiful cooler fall weather we had here yesterday made me want to go for a nice (long) bike ride. This was something we had done last year around this time, and the slight change in weather had made me long to do it again. However, I forgot that biking at this stage in the pregnancy would be uncomfortable, to say the least. My husband very patiently convinced me that going for a walk would be a better, and safer alternative. We still got to enjoy the beautiful afternoon in the end. What surprised me further was the fact that I had to stop or slow down several times during the walk because of the position of the baby.
That's another thing that's changed - the position of the baby! He/she's been finding different positions and areas in there ("Haha... there's your bladder, haha there's your ribs"). We've seen my belly contort into some rather odd shapes lately, and it's all part of the fun! It must be getting kinda squishy in there...soon to run out of room!
I've also had a sudden change in palate concerning the temperature of the copious amount of water I drink everyday. I no longer want the super ice cold water that I've been downing the last few months - it's too cold for me now! I'm not sure if this is weather related or baby related, but it could easily be both.
So far, so good, and counting down the days!
