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.<\/p>\n
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:<\/p>\n
* (every time the phone rings) “Is that Baby Girl calling?”
\n* “Come out, Baby!” (at least once every 30 minutes or so)
\n* “I am a hippo.”
\n* “Where’s baby???”
\n* “I am grumpy!”<\/p>\n
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?<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Plans for this evening: clean the house, take a bath. Maybe Baby Girl wants to know that we have baths out here, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
