Discoveries

In the last few weeks, I’ve discovered that:

-I can no longer cross my legs while sitting- in fact, trying to be comfortable at all while sitting often causes me to sit in some undignified/un-ladylike ways (the belly is always in the way unless you have your legs apart somewhat to give it more room- I’ll leave it at that).
-Some brands of root beer and orange soda have caffeine.
-I am having some random Braxton-Hicks contractions which are perfectly normal but still a little strange.
-I can no longer get out of or rollover in bed without it being a major production.
-Consuming plenty of water and a daily banana DO help with leg cramps.
-It’s important to eat lots of fiber to counteract daily banana or you’ll have a whole new set of problems.
-Turning around in the car to watch where I am backing up is getting harder every day
-Breyers real ice cream (we always have frozen yogurt or low-fat stuff) is heaven-on-earth
-There are parts of my body I haven’t seen in a while and am not likely too for a while still. No doubt that list will get longer by the time I deliver the baby.
-I have to miss out on being a concert VIP this year like we did last year as Rob's friend is touring this summer again and will be at the same festival in Des Moines again, which is 3 days after my due date. Dang it!
-Old Navy makes some of their maternity pants in a long length so I don’t have to look like I’m taking the “Flood Watch” advisories back here too seriously with my highwater pants. Seriously- do they think only short women get pregnant??
