It was at this point that I had friends who are pregnant (due next week!) all say, "I feel HUGE". I chuckled and thought that things were just going to get larger so they better get ready. Well, this week I have started to feel huge! I have trouble fitting into smaller spaces, I bump into things because I forget where I am and someone made a joke about me needing a desk with a cut out soon! However, I can still see my toes and even fit into some pre-preggo pants. Whew!
Jackson (our official name in case we have forgotten to post that) is kicking like crazy lately, which I LOVE. Sometimes it makes me jump because it's so strong or out of nowhere. He is most active after meals and when I am sitting to perform a new evaluation on a patient. I'm sure his kicking makes for some great facial expressions on my part! I love lying in bed with my hand on my stomach and feeling his little appendages bang against my abs :) Nice to know we have a healthy, strong boy in there!
The biggest bummer about pregnancy so far (well, besides having to give up my gummy vitamins in favor of big gross tasting horse pills!) is that I cry all the time whether I am sad or not. I have yet to cry at work or in a public place, but I have been on the verge many times. I cry during the news, not-so-sad episodes of Grey's Anatomy, while reading magazine or even while on a walk and thinking about my brother's wedding which is not for another year! I suppose it's just part of the whole Pregnancy Package.
