End of week 27...another week down : )

...against my better judgement I am posting a pregnancy picture! I had no idea how big I was until I saw this. You know how in your mind's eye you think you look one way and then you see a picture or catch a reflection of yourself in a store window and you wonder..."Who is that?" I mean I knew I was getting bigger, but this is beginning to get humorous!

The baby is still refusing to let his Daddy feel him kick. He can be going to town, but as soon as Justin puts his hand on my belly the baby freezes. I think Justin is beginning to think this is all some big hoax and there is really no baby in there at all : ) He did see him move though. Yesterday we went up to Justin's shop and the baby was moving around. I told Justin to watch my belly and sure enough he moved positions and Justin was able to watch my belly move.

The back pains have officially kicked in. I am getting a weird cramp of sorts in my right middle back. It feels almost like a pulled muscle, but not. I am assuming that it's from my body and posture changing...but what do I know?????

Random note, but in our shopping for baby clothes Justin and I have begun to wonder where all the normal baby clothes are hiding? We went looking for little white socks for the baby and COULD NOT find them. We didn't think that this was a ridiculous request or pursuit, but alas we were confronted with fuzzy crazy colored socks in abundance and no normal socks in sight. And one last observation/irritation, do baby clothes makers assume that all little boys like sports and trucks????? Everything we find has trucks, cars, hammers, and various sporting equipment on it. I know he will only be an infant while wearing this gear, but this is really a lot of pressure to thrust upon such a small human ; ) Until next week...

Wow!!! I am so happy you posted a picture of yourself, all round and happy! You look terrific! And yes, the manufacturers do believe that we all want to see our little baby boys in only sporting, construction or sailing outfits! I even received some gifts which were clown outfits, I think. Not sure. Mike would not allow me to dress the boys in them, though. Anyway, you guys look awesome and happy! Stay in touch! I'm loving this! P.S. I will talk to you in class, I guess, tonight. (I didn't buy the book yet. Is that a problem?) Susanne
