Week 29 of the smaller Zaller. It's been kicking me in the side. It doesn't hurt (yet), but it kind of tickles. And when it gets down into my hips it feels really squirmy and like there's a snake under my skin, which is sort of gross.
Why didn't anyone tell me that a baby can kick you in the butt? Literally. I'm pretty sure I've gotten jabbed right in the brown eye once or twice. And your rib cage gets much bigger, even before a baby is up in there. I can only assume it's from the organs that are being pushed up. I'm going to have to start a list of things people should have told me about pregnancy. Did you know that the umbilical cord is what turns into your intestines? Yeah, it basically gets sucked into your stomach through your belly button.
When Mike and I went in for our first ultrasound, we had only just barely become aware that it is NOT on your stomach. Oh no. They put it right up into your business time. And they roll a condom onto the thing they put in there, which made me laugh and secretly think, "Too late for that!"
My bellybutton does not look right anymore. It doesn't feel good and it looks all wrong. I give it another week and a half before it goes flat. :/ Mike agrees with me. He tries to help my discomfort by holding up my stomach sometimes when I'm laying down. It surprisingly helps.
That's all the baby stuff I can muster out today. Oliver is sleeping in the windowsill (the only one with light streaming through it) as it's the only highlight of his day. No pun intended. Also I'm trying to reorganize my photog business, and expand a little. We'll see how 2011 takes us.
