First things first - new digs, woo! About four months ago, a friend of ours, Gwen, came up with cajoling as a nickname for the baby growing inside, and it stuck! So voila, cajoling.org. I own probably as many domain names as I do pairs of underwear, but just like underwear, you can’t have too many. This design is temporary. A new one is being commissioned that I think will blow this one out of the water, and I can’t wait to see it!

Secondly, I’m at 28 weeks now, and in the third trimester.

Somewhere along the line I went from fat to pregnant. Yikes! The baby is moving around quite consistently now - most active at night when I’m getting ready to lie down, and occasionally he’ll jump on my bladder or cervix (at least, I think it’s my cervix) for good measure. Sometimes I’ll lie there and see my flesh jump when he kicks, and that is the weirdest feeling. Cool, but weird.

Anyway, I hab a code. It’s the start of one, but it’s annoying nonetheless, as most colds are. I think I caught it from a sick person on Friday, and despite handwashing like a maniac, I felt the tickle at my throat on Sunday and today was miserable and ended up coming home early to rest. I called the nurse while on my way home, and was surprised to get a call from my OB afterward. Long story short, I’ve got an appointment tomorrow so he can check in with me and see if I need any antibiotics, because strep throat is going around. I think I’ll take tomorrow off too and rest, after the doctor’s visit. The only frustrating thing about the doctor’s is that it is further north than work, so I’ll still be doing the commute. Alas.

Also, if you’re interested in hopping on the notify, drop me a comment here or email me at caseycasey -at- gmail -dot- com.

84 days left. Holy shit.
