Gobble Gobble

I ate the whole turkey! Well at least I feel like I did.
Darnell and I stayed home and enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving Dinner together. I think the most fun was shopping for supplies the day before at 4:00am! Not only did we have the entire parking lot to ourselves, but the whole store too. The cashier accidentally rang us up for a free turkey, but upon realizing her error she let it go. Yippee! Thanks to Darnell, the turkey was delicious. The grilled eggplant and zucchini rocked too.
Here's a belly pic Darnell took from our local beach the day after Thanksgiving Day.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

7 MONTHS!!!!! Are you kidding me? Wasn't I just 3 months like... yesterday? Oh man. This is becoming a reality sooner than I had expected. Still feel great. No pains or aches. Sleeping like a baby... sorry, no pun intended. Passed the glucose challenge test (GCT), so I don't have gestational diabetes which is a big relief. BRING ON THE PUMPKIN PIE! Fundal height (distance from pubic bone to top of uterus) is 27.5 cm. Baby's heartbeat is still rocking 156 bpm. Only thing I am noticing is how huge I am starting to get. Belly is definitely starting to get in the way (i.e. shaving legs). Hard to believe I have 3 more months of growth to occur.

San Diego Visit

Had a great time on my 'last' visit to San Diego for quite a while. Got to see loads of friends and eat everything in sight. In fact, I gained 9.5 lbs in the week there! (Don't worry, I've come back down since returning to a normal diet.) Ahhh.... tacos. So good. Got to hit up one of Darnell's favorite breakfast spots, Hash House A Go Go and get their AMAZING Hot Cocoa. Special thanks to the Keller Family for the baby gifts and to Grandma-to-be Danna for the wonderful keepsakes. See you all next year!

Hiccups

Enjoyed a lovely night out with my hubby last night and the restaurant was pumping some pretty fun music. A good mixture from our HS years. Baby Kramer (BK) was moving around pretty well and made me sit back in the booth. Soon The Smiths were playing and BK got a pretty good rhythm going on in the nightclub we'll call House of Womb. In fact, it was too good of a rhythm. Each thump was at a consistent beat. I glanced over at Darnell and said "BK's got the hiccups!".
So cool! 100 days to go!!!!

6 Month Belly Dance

Still getting used to having something inside of me moving around. So bizarre. Most movement comes in the morning as I am awakening. This is followed by fits of giggles as I watch my fuzzy belly button jump around. I can only imagine the snorts and laughter will increase as this baby grows.
