strange pregnancy observations and thoughts and questions

1. freak show body. i won't go into details.
2. there is a funny line that runs from the top of my stomach to the bottom. i swear it wasn't there before.
3. if my armpits were dark before, you will now NEVER see me in a sleeveless top again. thanks be to God for winter.
4. my fingers are getting fat. i rue the day when i will have to have my wedding band cut off my finger.
5. hideyo is an excellent lifebuddy and futuredaddy. seriously can't imagine doing this without him.
6. apparently blasto can now HEAR THINGS. how did that happen? did one day he just wake up and say "what the hell is going on out there?"
7. baby does not sit evenly inside. yesterday i noticed he is all bunched up on the right side. it's like my belly has become the continental shelf.
8. i think i can feel him move. it feels like he has giant bubbly farts inside.
9. i can't make baby clothes, so i have resorted to making toys and accessories. swing by to visit tako (the purple octopus) and kuma (the cream bear).
10. dr. thinks blasto is a BOY. we are waiting for more photo confirmation at the end of the month, but we do fear that now blasto can hear, he will only respond to "blasto" ex utero, so we are taking our one-agreed-upon-name (noah) for a test drive on and off. stay tuned ...

I had to start wearing my wedding band on a necklace for the third (and fourth) trimester when my ring finger started turning purple :)

Yes, I too recommend taking the wedding band off. It may be a while before you can wear it again. I still can't fit mine on my finger, mostly due to swollen knuckles.

hihi! official congrats on getting your linea nigra! i still have my line on my belly. In fact, now, my belly is darker than the rest of me. Technically, it all disappears...I'm still waiting, though. nonetheless, yay!
