My belly is starting to get more pronounced and in my way. My weekly BabyCenter e-mail update says my uterus is now about the size of a soccer ball. It's getting more difficult to get out of the car or shave my legs. When I eat large meals I feel uncomfortably full, get heartburn and find it harder to draw a full breath. Guess things are getting more crowded in there than I expected this early in the pregnancy. I feel bloated already, so it’s weird to think I have at least three more months of getting bigger. The other day I soaked in the bath to relax my lower back. It felt great until I let the water out of the tub and felt instantly heavier. Makes me wish the hospital offered jacuzzi tubs for labor. My energy is starting to wane these days, which makes me all the more eager to finish the baby's room as soon as possible. This weekend was the first chance we had to move the office upstairs finally and paint the baby's room. Xavier and 7-year old Michayla painted the room with Dave while I visited with Amber, and then Jessica and Mark dropped by with 8-month old Jonathan. We made enchiladas and had a fun impromptu get-together. I'm so grateful for all the support we're getting from our friends.
