Well, remember how I kept saying that I’m feeling fine and comfortable and don’t really mind being pregnant? That’s not so true anymore. There are definitely people who have the right to complain a lot more than I do, but I am now experiencing my share of achy joints and general cumbersome-ness. However, I still sleep great, and I’m thankful for that.
No sign of baby emerging yet, of course. Jon and I feel a bit emotionally exhausted from the suspense, but we are trying to handle it well. Here are some of the bizarre things that can be heard in our home lately:
* (every time the phone rings) “Is that Baby Girl calling?”
* “Come out, Baby!” (at least once every 30 minutes or so)
* “I am a hippo.”
* “Where’s baby???”
* “I am grumpy!”
I’ve been wondering if I should start eliminating chocolate from my diet so that Baby Girl will have to come out to get some. Is she just too content in there?
In a desperate attempt to entertain myself, I have been baking. But somehow these recipes just aren’t working! Is it pregnancy brain? Am I not concentrating hard enough? The chocolate torte I attempted yesterday was a flop (although a very yummy flop — we have been eating it more like a pudding in cups). And today’s “cheesecake”:http://www.cookinglight.com/cooking/fd/features/package/0,14343,445073,00.html positively overflowed when I started to pour it in the pan — does the recipe not say “use a 10″ pie plate”? I think the last time I made it, I used a springform pan — must make a note of this.
Plans for this evening: clean the house, take a bath. Maybe Baby Girl wants to know that we have baths out here, too.
Hang in there, Ann! I’ve finally stumbled across this site (wish I knew about it before). Do you know you’ve been in my thoughts for so many weeks now? Gonna lift that baby up in prayer so she’ll be lifted *out* :-)

Thanks LaShawn! We just set this site up a couple of weeks ago, so you haven’t missed too much. Thanks for praying for us!!!
