Either I lost a lot of weight during this pregnancy, or Iris will be bigger than her sister. During Lily's, my belly button never popped out. It did this weird duck-bill thing at the top but that was it. At 8 mths (almost 9), you look at my belly and you can say "Turkey's done!" My back hurts, my head hurts, my everything hurts...my hands and feet keep swelling. I'm still getting sick from my low BP... *sigh* Did I mention I'm sick of waiting?
I cleaned out the car (almost). It was the most disgusting thing (next to month old dishes) that I have ever seen. J comes out and goes, "Don't throw away the cups from the gas station. I said too bad and threw them away. I was peeling random shit out of the carpet; we were not keeping anything from that car. I'm not done. I want to scrub those carpets and clean the rest of the stuff I missed before Iris gets here. The only reason I didn't finish is b/c my husband started lunch and then pestered me outside. But at least it's decent enough right now. I'm still not satisfied. I do not want to place my newborn child who has no immunities yet in a trash can on wheels.
Her crib is built; I have the co-sleeper set. My back is packed. Her bag is packed. Her sister's bag is packed. The laundry's done. She has most of what she needs. The car seat is set up in the car... Can she come now? I'm done! :)
Anyway, here are belly pics of the 7th and 8th month. I'll be taking a belly pic in a couple of weeks for the 9th.
What I think is amusing is that you can now see my veins. Why? Because I am so stretched out i have NEW stretch marks and my skin hurts so bad, even after putting on lotion. This child is either going to be large, or I just lost a lot of weight.
That is all.
