Are We Having Fun Yet?

23w5d

Having recently found out I was the successful applicant for my temporary (now permanent) full-time position at work, I have been worry-free regarding a job to return to and topped-up maternity benefits (thank you, union!). However, it seems that other classmates in our prenatal group have already registered their unborn offspring for daycare! I'm a bit slow on the take, figuring it will all work out, as things usually do.

Nesting Syndrome

This weekend marked the first (of most likely many) crazed nesting rampages I have thus far experienced in this pregnancy. I have rearranged almost every room, moving this here and that there, scrubbed and polished, swept and dusted. It's still not perfect, but it's much better than it was.

I'm sure I'm driving the mister batty with my cries of, "Not in my clean sink!" and "Where did this fingerprint come from?!" I truly can't help it -- it's uncontrollable. Thank goodness I work full-time, otherwise I'm sure I would tear this place apart this week.

FYI

My vagina is hiccuping.

Creepy

We thought we'd use this morphing technology for a laugh to see what our kidlet would look like. Yikes!

David Weidman

I could lie and say I'm sure that the baby will love all of David Weidman's midcentury illustrations, but the truth is that I really want it for myself.

High Kick!

I felt the baby kicking today for the first time. Hopefully s/he will enjoy tap dancing with his/her mama!

Mama & Papa

Here we are at 21w3d.

What I'm Craving As Of Late

I am still feeling great with lots of energy and a positive attitude.

Things that I have been craving lately:

Cinnamon. Even the smell.

Skirts. I can't bear to wear pants in this heat.

Coffee. With cream.

Fruit. I can't get enough!

Yoga.

Citrus. Especially lemon!

But please don't think that I'm some kooky healthy nut. What I have neglected to post is the fact that I sometimes take the elevator up three floors instead of taking the stairs, eat a bag of Old Dutch Arriba chips once in a while, and probably eat way more cheese than I should.
