I’m pretty sure I have an explorer inside me, claiming my uterus and in relation, her amniotic sac- for America. I’d say I was starting to get used to the popping/thumping feeling inside, but I’m not. When she thumps at me while I relaxing on the couch, I put my hand there and grin. Sometimes I feel it from the outside, sometimes I don’t. I admit it- sometimes I push back and seemingly piss her off, so she scuttles off to the other side of the uterus (you know, since it’s so roomy in there).
Today I noticed something new. Usually I don’t feel like I have to pee until I stand up, in which case it becomes an urge. This morning, I was leaning back in my office chair, and I felt a quick need to pee. Almost painful, definitely not fun. Then I felt her kick my uterus and almost immediately after that, I felt another quick need to pee. This girl is kicking my bladder!
I’m 22 weeks now, 18 to go. We haven’t done anything in the nursery (does buying clothes count?), nor have we done anything other than marvel over our baby to be trying to bust out of her bony/flabby/muscular (definitely less muscular and more flab) prison.
We definitely need to paint the room- any ideas on a good paint company? Do we use eggshell or satin? Low VOC? What is a “VOC”? It’s all so overwhelming. Maybe I’ll just go buy some baby Crocs before they remove them completely- did you hear that rumor they are going to shut down? I dare anyone tell me crocs look stupid on a toddler. I DARE YOU!
