pregnancy

Well, here we are getting toward the end.  Can you believe it. I can't, I am excited and terrified all at the same time.   I have pretty much grown out of all of my clothes and spend a significant amount of time in pj's so I have only taken a few pictures.

Pregnancy is quite the experience.  I have been very lucky and have had a relatively easy and uncomplicated pregnancy.  I feel good most of the time, only had minimal nausea. I first started feeling our little Lucy move at 20 weeks and she has not stopped since. She is almost always moving around letting me know she is the boss of me.  My biggest craving has been chocolate milk. It must always be in the house.  I also have narcolepsy.  I will sit down on the couch and wake up 6 hours later not knowing where I am.  Andrew thinks this is hilarious.  My sleep schedule has been so messed up due to my graves and my narcolepsy.  I have certainly gotten the pregnancy brain. I have a couple of pairs of work shoes. They are the same color and shoe, one is just a bigger size than the other.  I went an entire shift wearing 2 different size shoes before I noticed it.  The next day, I put on my watch for the day.  About 15 minutes later I couldn't help but notice my arm was heavy and looked down to see I was wearing 2 watches.  I neglected to notice I was already wearing a watch when I put another one on.   I am now starting to feel very large.  Bending down is a task, I run into things and much to my dismay, my belly button is just not what is used to be.  

We have been getting the nursery ready and are very excited.  Andrew loves to feel Lucy move and tries to figure out where her head vs. her butt is.  He was even able to find her heart beat with his stethoscope the other day. We bought our car seat and stroller.  We tried to put in the car seat, ya know, just to practice.  It took us way longer than it should have. We hooked it in just fine but it just seemed too loose.  Andrew and I spent a while trying to tighten it down.  I gave up but Andrew kept at it and now it finally fits, but I am not allowed to removed it from my car. ever.
