As the Belly Grows

Here are a few funny things from the last week:

• I told my pal, Ashley H., I didn't think my belly was growing enough.  Half an hour later, I bumped my belly while trying to close the rear passenger door of her car.  It may be growing more than I realize. :-)
• I had a dream that our baby is a boy.  He had a beautiful smile (like his Daddy) and the same white-blonde hair Josh had as a baby.
• I had a dream that our baby is a girl.  I don't remember a lot about this dream...wish I did.
• I discovered that the smell of flux (in the aluminum foundry at work) does not agree with me.  Thankful I had enough sense to immediately evacuate the area...no one likes a puker.
• I didn't dream about champagne this week, but I did buy some sparkling pear cider.  Yum!
• As word spreads of my pregnancy (at work), I've notice people looking at my belly.  Thankfully, people haven't focused in on my...um...'lovely lady lumps'.  I think they know better than to do that to someone in HR.
• My memory isn't what it used to be--I have trouble remembering if I took my vitamins (5 minutes ago) or not.  It's driving me a little crazy.  I'm getting even better at making lists for myself.
• Josh keeps reminding me that I can blame the baby for my clumsiness.  (Even though I don't think I've been as uncoordinated as normal.)  Special thanks to "The Expectant Father" for that one.

I'm looking forward to my next prenatal appointment on Friday; the best part is that Josh will finally be able to go with me!  I'll post an update after.  (Next month we have the ultrasound and with any luck will find out the gender of Baby A.)
