Here's my latest pregnancy bump - it's gotten quite a bit larger in the past few weeks. I will be 22 weeks tomorrow - our little man is due to arrive on July 31st. My lower back is already KILLING me - any suggestions from any of you recent mommy's for back pain relief? The saddest part about my expanding belly is not being able to get up out of comfy couches any more....at our church kinship group on Wednesday nights, I have to sit on a stiff-backed chair now instead of sinking into the nice cushy couch, and I can't get off our couch here without Dru heave-ho'ing me off. :( The best part about growing this much is that Dru can now feel the baby moving, backflipping, and rolling around! How neat the first time we got to experience the baby's movements together with Dru's hand squished against my belly. Our son loves to hear his daddy's voice - he usually starts jumping around when Dru comes home or when Dru prays for him.
21 weeks
This week Dru and I did a classic Maine event and attended the Maine Maple Sunday - several local maple syrup houses open up their doors and let the public tour them, watch maple syrup being produced, and try samples of all kinds of maple goodies (maple snow - shaved ice with maple syrup poured on it, maple cotton candy, and hard maple candies). We had an odd middle-of-the-afternoon snow flurry just when we arrived to the maple house, which was fun except for the fact that I'd accidentally worn my house slippers out instead of shoes (much to Dru's mirth and delight - I had been chiding him right before we left the house that he needed to be more attentive to details...I chalk it up to "pregnancy brain!"). Dru had to capture the moment on camera.
The house slippers....woops!
AWW I remember those days. Everyone laughed at me when I got up off the couch. At Church I had to steal soft chairs form other class rooms. Hang in their it only gets better. ;)
