I just cannot stop being amazed during this pregnancy. The baby has really started moving a lot over the past few days. Especially in the afternoons. I feel him rocking and rolling all afternoon and into the evening. He is one active little fellow.
I love it and at the same time I am in awe. Part of me still doesn’t grasp how I can have assisted in creating new life. I feel very honored to have invited a baby into my life and to have had this little soul answer. I’m eager to meet the baby and at the same time I really love being pregnant.
It’s incredible how far along I already am. My favorite forums have already put up the “March 2009 Due Date Club” – wow! It seems it was just a few days ago that my due date club was being added. And now there are women expecting babies in March of ’09!
I felt the baby kicking above my belly button yesterday. And when I sit I can feel baby pressure against my lungs. I can’t believe he’s already getting that big. I most certainly look pregnant now and I can’t really “suck it in” anymore if I want to look less pregnant :p This is pleasing to me because all you want in the early weeks is to show. But at the same time I think I still have months to go and how big am I actually going to get!!!
But I want a good strong baby. A nice fat one :p I’m working really hard on my nutrition now because the baby is starting to pad up and get fat. I find that I am getting hungry a lot more, which is good since I’m eating three meals and three snacks a day to help get in all my nutrients. I do sometimes splurge though, before you go thinking I’m some sort of nature mama saint 
I had a Milky Way and Burger King this week (oh the shock and horror of it, a hero has fallen!) I do think it’s ok to indulge once in awhile. I just don’t make it a habit :p
And I’m excited because we start our Pink Kit work in just a few short weeks. Wow. Childbirth preparation already! I’ve been reading tons of birth stories lately and have even taken some time to start visualizing birth situations and thinking about what I want.
It’s really an amazing privilege to be pregnant. I’m so glad I get to experience it 
And I need to get to work on that Baby List stuff!!!
