Or at least that's how it feels. And only being 26.5 weeks, it's too early for that. I know I've commented on how active Pat is, but the activity lately has felt like it's trying to bust out of the ol' uterus by way of my belly button. Seriously! After Christian watched my belly moving around last night he asked if it hurt when Pat moved like that. Most of the time it doesn't, but there have been a few occasions where I've slapped my stomach to try and get Pat to move off of the nerve it's punching/kicking/strumming/gnawing on. I wonder if that's any indication of what kind of physical force I'll use on my children. Don't judge me (I know you're judging me).
In other Pat adventures, Pat's been getting the hiccups like crazy. I think I started feeling them a week or two ago. Today I've counted 3 separate occasions. I think that's normal, based on what other moms have told me. It's a cool feeling, that's for sure. I'm glad I don't get the hiccups that often.
Oh, and isn't there some kind of condition most pregnant women get where their minds go a little goofy during pregnancy? They start forgetting things, bumping into things, etc? Well, I am no exception. In the last 3 days I have broken 2 cereal bowls (one in front a professional chef who came over for lunch), landed on my butt while hiking down from Catherine's Pass, and peed through my underwear while sitting on the toilet. Turns out I didn't manage to pull my underwear down when I pulled my pants down and didn't realize it until I had finished. Good times. I can only see this "condition" getting worse over the next few months, so if I forget your name while talking to you or you see me bumping into walls, think nothing of it. We'll just blame it on Pat.
UPDATE as of 09/29/09. One of the girls in my book club (who of course shall remain nameless) said she peed through her underwear when she was pregnant too! And someone else, who's never been pregnant, said she's done it. Now I don't feel like as big of a knob as I originally did!
You've waited this long to try and blame the craziness on Pat?? Hehe. =)
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, I love reading your posts. I'll have you know that I just snorted a bunch of cereal onto my shirt because I was laughing so hard at your peeing through your underpants episode. I can't wait to hear what's next!
First: I, too, have peed through my underwear while expecting.
ReplyDeleteSecond: Marley had the hiccups as well. Even after birth for quite a while.
Third: I hate to be the one to tell you but, the 'condition' doesn't get better after delivery. It seems to only get worse due to the lack of sleep.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
ReplyDeleteKristel: Just you wait. I bet you'll pee through your underwear sooner than later!
ReplyDeleteLynne: Glad to know I've got a comrade in the underwear peeing. And yes, my "condition" is only bound to get worse...far worse.
Kristi: I have no comment for you.
