while watching my stomach move and shake and bulge with baby shulba, tim says, "it's so alien-like it's gross." hahaha. but it really is. you should see this action. the baby is way too big to be in there anymore...
thanks for the FAQs - when you're so huge time just seems to slow down, doesn't it? And with baby #1 it's so bizarre to think how much your life is going to change within weeks - you can't really do anything more to prepare for that change, you can't hurry it up, you just have to wait and wonder. I'm glad you're doing well in this last trimester! Lots of walking is good for getting things moving... and sex... it's true! (sorry to make you all blush) Enjoy those naps - you'll be having lots of those with the timbit when he arrives - just not so much long unbroken nights. I'm excited for you.
just one thing about your 25 min ride to the hospital - get your pain meds in a good 30 minutes before you leave to go home and bring a pillow to sit on in the car! I never realized how hard car seats are until I was riding home with Nevin. Other than that, don't worry too much about post partum pain - keep up with your advil or tylenol 3 every 4 hours - you won't need them after two weeks. And those two weeks will be over in a blur.
:) since we're both stay at home moms now, you should call me for a chat over naptime... it'll be good practice.
