Odd Things 2

I think I mentioned a while ago that my guilty pleasure is following celebrity news. I really like going to people.com on Fridays because on Fridays there's a section on funny quotes of the week. Yes. That's how guilty I am.

Anyway, I've decided that my Friday posts are going to be my "Odd Things" posts. they will most likely be odd things related to my pregnancy, but not necessarily exclusively. I'm assuming that there will be enough changes and strange happenings every week that I'll be able to come up with something to say! ;)

This week, the big oddness that I find is my ummm, how shall I say this, growth? The week that M was away for training I knew that he would notice a difference in my belly when he came back. He was gone for 6 days after all. This week I kept thinking how odd it was that I wasn't growing at all! Some days I even felt like I'd be able to "hide" the pregnancy again. Last night getting into bed felt a little odd in that when I settled it felt like a HUGE relief from a stress I wasn't aware of. This morning when I woke up it was apparent I had grown! Mom left here last night sometime after 10pm and came back this morning less than 12 hours later, she looked at me and said "whoah" and started laughing at me. Apparently the babies saved up their growth this week for one night!

My feet and ankles also swelled up through the day yesterday. I had hoped it was just because of the heat and that it would go away over night. Not so much. I'm afraid fat feet are here to stay. Sad, but inevitable. I can't remember when my feet swelled when I was pregnant with X, but I do remember they didn't go back to normal until he was a month old! Good times.

Can't wait to see what changes this week! Really. :)
