This week someone in school said to me, "Wow! Your belly just keeps getting bigger and bigger!" She looked at me and smiled like she had just broken some news I hadn't heard yet. I responded, "Yep. That's kind of how the whole 'pregnancy' thing works!" I know that sometimes I have mush for brains, but give me a break!
Here is an updated picture of the belly at 34 weeks. (For those of you who are unsure, my belly WILL keep getting bigger and bigger, and then once that boy is born, hopefully it will get smaller and smaller!) If you look closely, you can see my belly button has started to pop out a little bit. Do you know that they actually sell a contraption that is supposed to hide your belly button when you're pregnant? It looks like a big band-aid. It's funny that women would buy something like that. They've got this big ole' belly that's no big deal, but as soon as their belly button, which takes up about 1/1000 the size of the actual belly, starts to pop, they need to cover it up.
The baby keeps moving around a lot, but since he's big he can't really kick anymore, so he just pushes a lot. Jonathan says that's because he's out of his 'karate' phase and into his 'tai chi' phase. He has also started hiccuping every now and again. It feels like he's poking me in the belly button with his pointer finger, almost like he's saying, "Hey signorina, can we get some food down here pronto por favori?
