On Monday I had another doctor's appointment. People, have I told you that our baby has Arms! and Legs! and a big giant head that makes it look like Hello Kitty! And, oh yeah, a heartbeat!!! And the baby does somersaults and aerial backflips (although I can't feel them from the outside just yet)!
Today a kind soul sent us three very good books to be read to baby-in-utero, so Bear and I both settled in and practiced our Reading Out Loud voices for quite a while. "Bumble" (this is what we call the baby) was clearly enthusiastic, and will hopefully grow up to be as creative as Dr. Seuss, as clever as Shel Silverstein, and as talented as Maurice Sendak.
Not much other baby news, except that finding a comfortable sleeping position is an act I dread all day. (Well, that and the daily 2:00-5:00 p.m. window of The Queasy-Sickness.) Also, I'm so emotional that I cried for 20 minutes after tonight's episode of The Real World, and then again during Rock Star: INXS (in my defense, "The Man Who Sold the World" has always been tear-jerking for me). But if this is the worst it gets, everything looks like smooth sailing toward February 1.

Posted by rightmoon at August 3, 2005 12:55 AMIf you're having all of those 'typical' symptoms (emotional, uncomfortable, and queasy), that's a sure sign that you're having a nice, healthy, normal pregnancy. The first tri-mester was always for worst for me.
