Turn, turn, turn...

I have been getting a lot of comments lately that you "can't even tell" I'm pregnant from behind. It turns out I have a difficult time seeing my own behind these days, so today we took some 360 degrees photos so I could #1, find out if this is really true, and #2, document it for all posterity if it is indeed true. It is true. And I am documenting it.

The view from the rear.

And proof from the front.

I got pulled to work an overnight shift Wednesday night. At about 3 am during that shift, my contractions really started picking up, and by Friday they were coming every 10 to 20 minutes the whole day. I thought there was a decent chance she might decide to make an early arrival this weekend. I guess time will tell, but about 10 pm last night, they finally settled down. I am sure I was quite a sight trying to waddle quickly to the code at 5 am, then manage to squeeze past the crowd into the room to figure out what was going on and what needed to be done. All the while my contractions coming every 10 minutes.

Last night I had another dream along the lines of my recurring dreams throughout the pregnancy. This time, I had had the baby and didn't realize it until she was like a month old. Usually the dreams involve me recurrently forgetting to feed the baby or forgetting where I have left her. They say those dreams are indicative that you feel overwhelmed or unprepared about the prospect of caring entirely for another person's wellbeing. I guess I would be more concerned if I didn't feel overwhelmed by that prospect!
