I am feeling very large these days, my friends.
I look at pictures of pregnant friends and celebrities who are/were larger to make myself feel better, and to reassure myself that it is indeed possible to get bigger (which I will need to do, since I still have almost four months to go). Michael loves the growth--it is proof that our baby is growing and thriving in there. I am certainly happy with that aspect of it, to be sure, but I can't help but view my belly with a bit of trepidation. I wonder how it is all possible--"where do my organs go?" I muse. So, as I always do, I looked it up and I found this nifty link. As crazy as that may look, it's a lot better than some of the diagrams I've seen on the subject. In several of the diagrams I've perused, the large intestine just disappears entirely and they almost never show you any views of the heart or lungs. Those things are kinda important.
While playing on that website, I noticed a link that shows you the fancy shmancy ultrasound pictures for each week of development, from the 6th week to the 40th. It is equally nifty.
We still haven't registered for even one item. I don't know why. I think we focus so much on trying to relax in between the weekend chores that we just forget to do such things (we don't go out on weeknights if we can help it). We still need to contact the daycare center on campus. We still need to get a pediatrician. We still need to call the number for the diaper service to make sure that it is still in business.
We will do all these things, eventually. For now, we're still too busy being shocked by the size of my belly.
