Week 26

thats our little baby girl getting bigger by the minute!
so tying shoes.....not happening without a lot of grunting, bending over is not fun or easy
i spend most of my day walking around with my shoe untied becuase i can't reach it
so i can not wait for summer when flip flops and moo-moos are it!
basically becky can't do anything without grunting or being totally out of breath.
babies new favorite past time, lets kick mommy in her diaphragm and the bladder especially when she is teaching a class!
bec will be sitting there talking or drinking and WOW MAMA a little fist goes right into her diaphragm and she losses all breath....
very entertaining for people sitting around
this weeks stories:
bec is not diabetic....the baby's heart beat has a really fun rhythm that sounds like she has a drum set in there (taking after dad and starting a band early on)
bec goes back to the doc's to get a RH negative shot don't know if i can explain it....so click on the words and find the definition, nothing bad fairly normal just another thing to do and think about
we did go to our first lamaze class......and that was interesting......
the boys (i say that rather than men for a reason) were separated from the wives
the teacher asked both groups to come up with a list of likes and dislikes about the pregnancy
doesn't sound bad so far, the behind the scenes look:
bec hears:
i like my hair it is shiny
i like buying things and my boyfriend has bought 33 pairs of shoes
i don't like people touching me - i am going to start charging people a dollar for every belly grab
aaron hears:
her boobs are bigger
the house is getting cleaned
i don't like the shopping
we can't have fun anymore

the teacher somehow takes all these likes and dislikes and thinks we are talking about sex......really we are looking at a very odd group of people to put in a room together and it was only the first day aaron and i tried to participate but we felt sitting there quietly and listening was a better option
oh the stories
on the home front:
still working on the house SURPRISE!
but we have made progress aaron and grandpa paul have been busy dealing with the fact the house is not level in attempts to build us some bookshelves
when done it will be great but its one odd measurement after another
grandpa paul has been wonderful and has been working on wiring and filling in HUGE holes in our walls
grandma charlotte has been over at the house sanding and mudding walls, patching holes, and painting so soon we will have a dining room!
grandma charlotte came with me to the last doc appointment so she could hear her little grandbaby's heart beat
only three more months!
think that's all for now the only thing happening is the belly is growing lots!
oh another little side story frankie has been attached to becky like velcro, like white on rice, like.....a cat that really likes a warm body to sit on
its funny but no matter where i am or what i am doing she is right next to me meowing and wanting my lap......
so this is a picture of a typical night in our house
she wraps herself around my belly and gets grumpy when baby decides to kick! (like its my fault)
the other thing we have learned is that baby only kicks when it is quiet, so when i am at school she is super quiet but when i try to sleep she is stretching and yawning karate style!
