Preparing for Rosh Hashanah

Great way to prepare for Rosh Hashanah.  Get 4 blood tests in one day.  I’m so holey today! In fact, I’m holier than swiss cheese. Hehehe...

Outta the way!

I've become that annoying person on the sidewalk who walks super slowly. I'm very sorry. I wish I could move faster. I miss weaving thru people to get to where I'm going. But I just can't move anymore. However, I always stay to the side when I walk slowly. I also make sure to have a pained look on my face so if you look at me, it looks like I couldn't move faster if I tried. But seriously, if I can move faster than you can, you're too slow!

Your Joke Isn't Funny

Dear other pregnant lady,

Your joke about being slow is not funny at the OB OFFICE!!! We're all slow!  Get over yourself.

High Five...?

My baby has been moving around a Lot.  It's really cool and it's super fun to watch.  It looks a lot like my belly is possessed by an alien.  It's really funny.  Usually it's quick like a kick here, a punch there, I don't really know what body part is hitting me.  For all I know, my baby could be head-butting me.  Still awesome.  I'll take it.  I tell my baby to kick and move as often as it wants.  (Yes, I talk to my baby.  All the time.)

But here's the coolest thing.  Last night, I sat down and all of a sudden there was a bump sticking out of my belly, the size of maybe a ping pong ball.  Oooh or like when someone in a Bugs Bunny cartoon would get smacked in the head and then have a lump on their head.  That's what it was like.  And it was there for a good minute or two.  It was soooo cool and also a little strange...like...that's my baby...right here...we're touching each other...it was weird...and awesome.  Moshe also got to feel it.  He gave it a high five.  I thanked it for coming out to say hi.  I didn't want to move b/c I didn't want it to go away.  Eventually, it got tired and moved so I was able to move too.  

It was really special.
