Week 28

Current weight 161 lbs
Its been a few weeks since I've updated. I can't believe how quickly time has passed or how suddenly it seems my armpits and thighs have tripled in size. Lucky for me it will be summer soon, lots of tank tops and bikini bottoms...awesome.
Definitely been getting a lot more action out of the little guy lately. Usually after I eat chocolate, although I think he may be building an immunity to it. hmm. He gets especially kicky when I lay on my left side. It almost feels like he is trying to alert me to his discomfort. Foreshadowing?
Strangers have begun asking me about being pregnant. I guess that's good? It is still a little weird but at least they haven't started touching my belly yet.
A girl I know who was as far a long as I am just lost her baby. It actually freaked me and Cesar out a lot. I thought that we were in the clear after 12 weeks. I've just been getting used to the idea that there is a 2 lb creature living (apparently) on the left side of my uterus, now I get to worry about something happening to him already? Physically things haven't been hard but the lifetime of worry doesn't really wait until birth, does it?
If you ask me today, I'll be living with the Vazquez family when the baby is born. My roommate made it clear early on that I would be the one leaving, not her. I can't say that isn't upsetting, but she does get a say in what happens....it would have been nice to discuss it though...
Cesar started working at Dryer's this week and from the sounds of it he has been impressing a lot of people. The job is seasonal but we're hoping they hire him on full time at the end of the season. Once we know that, we will be able to get OUR OWN PLACE!! I'm sure after a few months in a crowded house we will be good and ready to start our own nest. I'm a little disappointed that we can't do it before then, but I'm extremely happy that Cesar is working somewhere better than The Men's Wearhouse. Tiny victories!!!! He's doing well so far and I imagine they'd like to keep someone that good around for a long time.
Do you ever feel like you can't get good news without also getting bad news? The first day Cesar started at Dreyer's was the very same day I awoke to find one of the wheels had been stolen from my car. He had been planning on using my car for work since it gets better gas mileage but now we have to wait for the wheel place to ship me the wheel and then we have to find a tire for it and get it put on, balanced, rotated...blah blah blah. no fun. Maybe I won't be sorry to move out after all ;)
Last visit with Dr. Yeo went well. He told Cesar he was luck to "have a wife who looks like a model" hear that, world? Despite the fact that he was referring to my lack of stretch marks (knock on wood) I have to believe he meant overall I still looked like a woman and not a zebra striped blob. I don't care either way. I look like a model according to my Dr, that is enough for me. Now if only I can get these thighs and armpits down to model size...in due time.
Maternity clothes still seem to outsmart me. Just when I think I have figured out a way to avoid them, I lose a button or retire a favorite pair of underoos. Thank goodness for eBay. I'll keep on hunting until  more than 5 items fit me. I will be cute!!!!
I still cannot believe that there are approximately 11 weeks left. Does anyone else think that isn't enough time? Baby showers are happening soon and I'm actually excited. Time to celebrate this little guy!
