There has been some radio silence because apparently I am getting hormonal. And not hormonal as in being sad a lot. I mean hormonal as in fine and chatty one second and yelling and crying at my husband (over something he said that I percieved as totally insensitive of my current state of pregnancy). I mean we were in the car talking and this argument broke out and I was screaming at him and crying. When we got home I slammed the doors into the house, crawled into bed, and BAWLED for ten minutes straight. He came in to apologise to me. And then like that, I was fine and I felt utterly stupid. WTF was that? Den says he needs to realize I’m hormonal and watch what he says, lol! I was apologising all night for going off the deep end!

Other changes are happening too.

Like my belly. It has been growing and stretching. And my belly button, oh my poor belly button! It is getting stretched and flattened like nothing I could ever imagine, and it is hilarious! I want to go around showing everyone my belly button and saying, “Look! Look how crazy this is!” But showing your belly button (on purpose) after age 5 is apparently inappropriate. Especially when it’s smooshed like a freaking pancake. The good news about the belly button is that it is actually LESS sensitive now than it used to be! I noticed this weeks ago when it started getting pushed on, and I just kept waiting for the other shoe to fall… and it didn’t. It’s still not sensitive at all.

So as well all know I like to lay semi-reclined in bed, propped up with pillows, my laptop on my lap. I spend many an evening sitting/laying here typing. This is also the time that Devin is most active kicking away at me – he likes it when I am sitting and still. Well yesterday I’m laying here typing and I see my belly MOVE at the same time that I feel a big kick. I stared at it for quite a while after that, but it wasn’t repeated. I know I hadn’t imagined it though. Tonight Devin is active as usual, and again I see my belly move – but this time as I watch it it moves again… and again! He kept poking me in the same spot, causing my belly to flinch upwards. Wow!

I’d write more but it’s midnight and I really really need to sleep. I have only one week left to get everything done before we leave for our trip and I have SO much to do! I will leave you with some photos that Den snapped of me before we went out yesterday. :)
