While I know you won't be able to relax entirely until this baby is safe and healthy in your arms, I just know everything is AOK. I think it's a boy, too, btw. For both of us :). xoxoSo-Calledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995728640451748880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-87790459661882785852011-04-09T19:50:21.329-07:002011-04-09T19:50:21.329-07:00It's not a joke at all but of course you'd...It's not a joke at all but of course you'd feel that way. You're waiting for the balloon to pop but in that try to enjoy every single moment and second of it. Yoga is going to work wonders for you while delivering.

That is going to be SO AWESOME for your psyche (and it's just freaking awesome, too). <br /><br />And yeah, I couldn't discuss it on FB until the babies were safely in the outside world. So I totally get how you feel. Just take it a day at a time and see how comfie you feel sharing the news. The movement may make you feel better than you can imagine! xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-68666842689618545012011-04-08T22:00:49.605-07:002011-04-08T22:00:49.605-07:00It is an arbitrary number, but the general idea is...It is an arbitrary number, but the general idea is still an important one. Loss community, we know too much for our own good, blah blah, but the most important point is that **everything is all still going right.** Which is all you can ask for, at any present moment.<br /><br />Um, of course there's an OB on call. THese would be some amazing doctors if they had the hotline to the almighty to stop labor. My cobbler (what-EVER, fabulous shoes are almost as important as childbirth) is always so concerned people will be pissed that he doesn't work the high holy days. Dude, it's ok.

Woowoo likes to do it too.<br /><br />Did you meet with Dr. B at this appointment? I absolutely LOVE him (and no, I'm not being biased since he's my primary...hehe). My 20-week scan is the day after Easter as well. I love that we're on the same schedule!<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend knowing Smudgie is strong and healthy.

So happy to see an update-- really missing your posts, but happy to see you on Twitter now & then.<br /><br />I didn't feel "cute" & pregnant (obviously round tummy) until about 25 weeks-- from then until the end, I've never felt more beautiful in my life. The bigger I got, the prettier I felt. I think it was one of the few times in my life that I didn't struggle with my body image.<br /><br />I felt Liam at 22 weeks-- it's amazing. I can't wait for you to experience it. Then, the worrying really does start to go away because you have a constant reminder that your baby is thriving. There better be a post on that one!!Stefanie Blakelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084332204236959880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-88527320415157770592011-04-08T07:53:08.981-07:002011-04-08T07:53:08.981-07:00That's wonderful news!

I just had an ultrasound yesterday and now don't get another till 18 weeks--how will I survive that long without checking up on the little one?! It's all nervewracking & surreal after all the struggle, but it sounds like you're starting to feel able to really enjoy & believe it, and I'm so happy for you!Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319707316191000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-91901036529136888352011-04-08T07:30:54.070-07:002011-04-08T07:30:54.070-07:00Super!

I'm glad you're able to balance everyhting AND find time for yoga (good for you-- I think it will really help with the weight gain and discomfort of later pregnancy).<br /><br />I hear you on the last paragraph-- it definitely gets more real when you feel the baby move.

Amen, sis...OMG, your last paragraph really hit me. Amen, sister, amen. I'm so glad the u/s went well and Smudgie is all content in there.<br /><br />Also, I saw your comment on... uh... Fairytale Ending?'s blog - something about just feeling flabby and not 'showing' but definitely not feeling cute.<br /><br />I completely hear you and wanted to send some love your way. Seems I'm somehow following lots of pregnant twigs right now and I feel like a heifer when I compare myself. (LOL, no offense to them, I love them all, but it's hard to not internalize.) <br /><br />Here's the thing. Your belly will pop and it will "catch up" with whatever you're feeling is growing in the rest of you. I promise. It will even out. You're doing great - Smudgie is happy and healthy and that's all you need to worry about. (Yes, I'm saying that to myself as well.) ;)<br /><br />Happy 2nd tri!!!!!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571149055152186880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370623155565789372.post-3642765253122037632011-04-08T05:42:18.349-07:002011-04-08T05:42:18.349-07:00Congratulations on the second trimester!
