Actually in 2 days it will be 27 weeks, which is the last week of the 2nd trimester! I cannot believe how fast time is flying.
So in baby news not much has changed. And I have come to realize I don't know what people are asking when they say "How's the baby?" I guess the baby is good, it doesn't complain much...? I wish I understood what information askers are trying to obtain with this question. Do they want to know if there are any problems or how I am feeling...or do they really want me to tell them the baby is fine? And just for clarification sake at this point it is still a fetus and wouldn't have good chances of surviving outside of my body, I don't know if that changes anything, but I think it offends people that I think of things this way. Just like most people look at me funny when I call it an "it" but I don't know if it's a boy or girl and I think it's rude to refer to it as a gender specific being when I don't know. However, to keep conversations and wierd looks to a minimum I tend to go with the generally aceptable non-specific "he" when talking about Gribble. Sorry for the tangent- Gribble is moving A Lot lately but James still has a hard time feeling it, I think Gribble actually calms down when James hand is on my tummy, lol. Gribble also really seems to like sweets (or maybe thats me, these days) I have a really hard time walking past any frosted without seriously considering eating it :)- but see thats another pregnancy thing... So yeah, moving is the only Gribble thing I can adequatley report on.
As far as the prego-ness goes things are good. Aside from sweets I am not have too abnormal of cravings and in consideration of maintaining my generally healthy eating habits, I am limmitting my indulgences. I have noticed I am more prone to stress eating than I was before. I am definitely getting round, James likes to stand behind me, look over my shoulders and laugh about how he cannot see my feet! Also, I am becoming a bit more emotional and until the other day I had been keeping a pretty good handle on it. Unfortunately I had a bad night that turned into a bad morning that turned into a bad day. By that time I had run out of alternative coping mechanisms and when Alex (the deaf great dane) pushed my last button I threw him out (literally opened the front door) and when James went after him I kicked him out too! Luckily I realized that I had lost my mind shortly after... Even luckier my husband forgave me for going crazy :) He is a really great guy if I do say so myself.
In the news of James and I-besides the temporary insanity- I am making really good progress with my school work. I think I am turing my nesting towards school work, I have never not procrastinated but at this point I am nearly done with the work for 2 classes and by next week hope to have completed the 3rd- Go Me! James is working at a new store, his bosses really like him and we are pretty sure that he will get a promotion by the first of the year!
Lastly I just have to say how happy I am that it's finally not hot anymore. I know we didn't have a bad summer but I thought it was plenty warm and plenty long. Fall is definately my favorite time of the year!
