Gulp.

I am huge.

***

Things are going smoothly. I’m giving myself until the end of this week to have the major pieces of stuff together for work done and complete. Baby’s movements are huge now, and feels like when he stretches, he’s pushing my spleen out through my belly button. He kicks pretty hard still, and when he shifts and kicks and moves around, my bra straps shake. Pelvis still feels like splitting in half, and at the second half of the lamaze class, the nurse advised that I talk to the doctor about it, because there might be something he can recommend (i.e., going to a physical therapist to learn new exercises, etc.).

I called and made appointments to meet with two pediatricians that Dr. K recommends, and when I called, the receptionist gushed about both of the pediatricians, so at least that’s a plus. There’s also a nurse practitioner on staff who is a lactation consultant, and we can take the baby to see that person in addition to or instead of the primary physician.

Otherwise, little else is happening. This weekend I am setting aside to CLEAN and pretend to nest. My desk is a disaster area.
