Each day I feel like my girth is expanding. My stomach and lungs are getting pushed up higher into my rib cage, so eating and breathing are a little trickier than usual. My old friend heartburn is now pretty much constant...I can't single out individual offenders anymore....it's pretty much everything I eat.
The doctor told me that I'm gonna have a reasonably large baby...no shit sherlock! she had to go to medical school to find that out? I'm also on the hunt for a good acupuncturist for my shoulder, so if anyone knows anyone I'd love to hear about them!Anyway, maternity leave is awesome! I get to sleep until 10am, which is prefect as I don't sleep much during the night time. I have about 20 pillows propping me up and supporting my tummy...poor Jules doesn't get much space these days. I have time to finish sorting the baby's room (which is actually a lot of fun for me), I get to be a guest at various lunch clubs and meet up with other mums during the day for lunch etc and I'm baking up a storm! If you get the chance to take some Maternity leave I highly recommend it!
I'd love to put more soppy stuff in here to tell you all how excited I am and how I feel I already kind of know this kid, how I'm scared of everything I don't know and how I know that Jules and I will be just fine, but you're all probably just getting back from lunch and would like to keep your meal in your stomach!
Anyway, there is washing to be done and Christmas presents to buy. I may also make it to my aqua aerobics class as well!

That's it, I'm taking some maternity leave as soon as I get started at my new job!
It will do you some good Noodle! You won't have to wake up at a ridiculous hour and you'll be able to make the luncheon alliance more regularly!
I knew you were going to have an ENORMOUS baby!
