Friday: halfway

Today not only marks the half circle day (Pi day), but it also marks the halfway point of this pregnancy.

It seems a little like cheating since the first four weeks I didn't know.

But I hope that the baby is laughing and saying that I missed the halfway point by several days.

Thursday: moves

Isaac felt the baby move today. He probably expected it to be like every other time I've tried to have him feel the baby moving, but this time the baby cooperated. His eyes got very big.

Wednesday: not TMI

I told one of my classes that I was pregnant, and so today when I walked in a few students were like "Oh, I can see the baby!"

I was proud of myself - instead of saying, "yeah, but being pregnant is rather miserable.  I threw up twice yesterday and can't get comfortable sleeping" I searched something good to say.  "Yeah, it's fun to see.  And my husband can feel the baby moving now."

No need to traumatize them, even though I'm not really a fan of being pregnant.

Tuesday: soup

This afternoon Isaac and I were playing soup.  (I.e., we both had cups and we both had spoons and we were eating soup.  Fun for the first fifteen minutes.)

At one point I took a bite of his soup without asking.  His eyes got very wide, he backed up a few steps and said, "No.  My soup.  Mama's soup (pointing to my cup)."  So today was the first day that I was chastised by a toddler for eating the wrong imaginary soup.

He did share later.

Sunday: movie night

Saturday: the rest of the day

I'm sad to report that the rest of the day didn't get much better, but we all survived. We put Isaac down for his nap and he proceeded to have huge laughs for the next 45 minutes...all he had was a book, a frog, and a monkey, so we're not really sure what was so funny. Ben eventually took the book away from him and that brought a lot of "my book!" and tears...but he did eventually get to sleep.

Jamie and Jim watched him for about an hour before dinner and that was so nice too...the day was just not working for Ben and me.

Saturday morning: birds

This morning I wish I was a bird. They get their offspring out of their body relatively quickly and then anyone can help keep the eggs warm.

Instead of having nasty throw up sessions while hoping your two year doesn't freak out on the toilet.

I'll admit, I thought this morning was going to be fine be it has quickly gone downhill. Baby says hi though.
