A Few Things I Forgot to Mention

Sometimes there is so much I want to say I forget about little things that have happened on the way. I did want to document things as they happened so I would remember them later...so here are a few. It has been a couple weeks now since I've worn my wedding rings. They fit but they were feeling tight & when I would take them off to wash my hands they'd go shooting. I am now wearing them on a necklace. I have been very nervous about getting them stuck & wondered when/if I would have to stop wearing them. It was around 7 to 7-1/2 months.

There has been a long running joke between my sister & I that I would get a big swollen nose when I got pregnant. My nose is kind of mushable (I believe she called it a "chair balancing" nose) so she always thought for sure it would get big. Well, I believe I noticed that it was a little swollen this weekend. I, of course, called my sister right away to let her know that the big nose has begun. I'm pretty sure after I give birth it will de-swell & then I'll look like I have a "Farrah Fawcett" nose (for anyone wondering what that looks like just pinch your nose together & look in the mirror...voila instant Farrah Fawcett). We should do before & after pictures on the blog. I'll have to get Mike to take pictures.

Lastly, I believe Rooney has now crammed himself into the crawlspace of my ribs. He hasn't really kicked my ribs too much & my breathing isn't that bad but I'm definitely moving to the stage where I'll be able to balance a glass. Maybe a week ago I still had plenty of space between the belly & my chest and I thought I was carrying him so low. The space is almost gone & I think the belly looks fake. I'm still clear of stretch marks though & my belly button is still on the verge of being an outie. The last time it was an outie was probably when I was a baby. It'll be interesting to see my old friend.

That's it for now...
