Today a lady asked how much longer I had. I said about 2 months. She said, “But you look so big, it’s not twins is it?” So how was your day?

Dear Santa
I'm loving these headbands I've been seeing around lately. So perfect for an evening Christmas party. They would also make a lovely gift, don't you think? I've only been able to find them online. Where are you all purchasing these little dreams?

Pregnancy Diaries Entry 11: You are my Sunshine
This marks my 31st week of pregnancy. 9 weeks to go!
Yesterday I went to the gym to do a spinning class when I was finished I went down to the locker room and that is where this unfortunate story begins. I was gathering up my things and this woman comes into the locker room singing her heart out. At this point I knew she was clinically insane and started gathering my things little quicker because I just knew this lady was going to talk to me as my belly is often a walking conversation. Sure enough she turns around and asks me if what she is wearing was too revealing. I looked at the black tights the white mini something, not sure what it was, and the lipstick on her teeth. I looked at her and said. “Nope you look awesome.” This, I learned, was the wrong thing to say as it made her ecstatic. She screamed with Glee, “Awesome? Really? You look awesome too are you pregnant?” Wanting to run I said yes again this was the wrong response. She squealed with even more excitement this time as she said “Oh my gosh I’m so happy for you, congratulations!” Then she went in for a huge hug. There I was in the gym embracing this crazy lady. Please keep in mind this woman is a complete stranger to me as well as the planet earth. Then she put her hands on my belly and exclaimed “Oh my gosh I think I felt him move it’s a boy right”. “No it’s a girl,” I said. I was doing the I’m so uncomfortable laugh at this point. She asked me to stop laughing and hold still so she could feel her. Crazy lady then came closer, just as I thought that wasn’t possible, she proceeded to put her head to my stomach and started singing, yes I shit you not she started singing “You are my sunshine my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are gray….” She sang an entire verse to my belly. I continued to laugh only because I did not know what else to do. She again reprimanded me cause my stomach was jiggling with laughter instead of baby movements. I finally said, “If you insist on singing to my stomach I have no choice but to laugh.” After she was done with the serenade she told me the baby wants her name to be Heidi, she then recanted this because her name is Marie and maybe that would be more appropriate. You got it Marie.

Happy Thanksgiving
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'll be thinking of all the things I have to be grateful for! My list is lengthy I hope yours is too. Pregnancy Diaries Entry 10: Normal you are Not
I went for my 30 week check up. Yes 10 weeks to go. Can you believe it? I’m to the point where I go every two weeks and I’m starting to have appointments with the other Docs in the practice in case mine is not on call when my bag of water gushes down my leg.
This was my first appointment with another Doc. It was funny because my normal doctor has never expressed any concern over how small I am. This doc, however, did. He looked at me and asked how big I was when I was born I told him that I thought I was about 7 lbs. He said, “Is your mom as small as you are?” I said she is a couple maybe three inches taller than me. To which he replied, “So in other words she’s not as small as you, we would… how do I say this consider her normal. You…. (long pause)… are not.” Mason piped in and said, “ Umm.. you better watch it, you’re about to get hit.” I laughed and said. “How you say it is I’m below average.” Its good know that I can still teach someone who’s been to medical school a little something….. like I don’t know “bedside manner”. He looked at me as if what he really wanted to say is what business did you having getting pregnant.. little girl. I wanted to say hey those little people on TLC are procreating, what’s so wrong with me giving it a whirl? He said I will most likely have a 7 lbs. baby at the most and he thinks I will do fine with that and I shouldn’t be concerned. Why thank you doctor, I didn’t remember mentioning a concern but now that you brought it up….
All joking aside Mason and I did enjoy this doctor and would be comfortable if he was the one that ends up between my straddled legs… such a sweet image. Long Sigh…. babies and rabbits and birthing women all so tender and cute. The best news is everything is looking good and healthy and on schedule and for that I am so grateful!
