week twenty-nine

down to 11 weeks! i think i can... i think i can...

nothing out of the ordinary happened this week. sunday was my birthday, and we celebrated kinda low-key. chilling out by the pool. it was nice. i'm doing some birthday shopping this week and hopefully will find some stuff that makes me feel more attractive. big bellies don't exactly scream self-confidence. =o)

we're leaving thursday for my brother's graduation on sunday so i've been keeping myself busy packing and planning. we're leaving around noon thursday after my doctor's appointment and driving 6 hours to elyria, ohio where we have a hotel room booked to stay overnight. Reason being we're traveling with my grandparents and 12 hours straight is a long time for my grandfather to drive. it will be nice for me to be able to stop as well - sitting for 12 hours at 7 months pregnant could prove to be torturous.

otherwise that's it for new news. riley's rolling around kicking like crazy. it's very reassuring and i still love it even though it gets annoying when i'm finally in a comfortable position and he starts kicking me in the ribs. sleeping has started to become somewhat difficult just because i can never find a spot that's conducive to sleeping. i have pillows stacked all around me, but i'm afraid soon it's going to force doug to sleep somewhere else... that i don't want to happen. eating every few hours has also proved to be difficult. it takes more planning ahead than i've ever had to do and it's getting annoying. luckily there's only a few months left. planning a grocery list for a week's worth of meals is frustrating enough, planning a grocery list for a weeks worth of nutritious snacks every two hours is becoming impossible.

i really can't complain much though - i haven't been sick nearly as often as i was before, and when i'm not feeling sick i'm actually feeling pretty good. before when i wasn't feeling sick, i was breathing and not vomiting, but i didn't feel good. so it's a nice change =o)

two and a half more months! almost there!
