Belly @ 32 weeks

It occurred to me tonight that I haven’t
taken any belly pictures this pregnancy. Guess the novelty of
showing the world my big ol’ belly wore off the first time
around :) But, since I keep telling you all how huge it is,
here is proof. I hope I can handle 8 more weeks of
growth…

It does make a great seat for Lex
though…

And for comparison, here is a
picture of the belly (with Lex inside) at 30 weeks last time
around. Definitely bigger this time, don’t you think? Must be
the weakened stomach muscles. My abs of steel (hehehe) are no
longer…

Look what I did!

I decided to take up knitting again. I’m
poor though, so instead of buying yarn and stuff, I tried to
make due with what I had. Like it? Wrong yarn and needles for
the project, but I think it came out ok :) Now let’s all hope
for a baby with small hands and a tiny head (for multiple
reasons!). I made a sweater for Lex as a newborn, but the head
hole was too small too. Not sure I trust these baby patterns…


In other baby news, my belly is huge
and this kid is active!! Alan was reading The Great
Cookie Thief
to Lex last night and I reclined in the
papasan chair for a bit and baby went wild. I was watching my
belly and could see the movement. Not even full-belly moves,
but very specific kicks and bumps. It looked like there was a
creature in my belly (there is!) trying to get out (not yet
please!). I showed Alan later and baby did a good job of
bouncing around for him to see too. What a fun baby!!
