6 1/2 months
...or almost 29 weeks, however you prefer. I feel extremely "crowded" in there, and this wee one has now taken to kicking me under my ribs, which is extremely ticklish!
so since I haven't posted in a while, I'll give you a little info on the mini-vacation Adam and I took last Monday and Tuesday:
well it actually started the Friday before...company picnic...yikes! at least we got to sleep late, and leave early ("oh yeah, not feeling so great...pregnancy you know!") That night we went to see our new midwife!!! she is incredible, and is all for the "granola" stuff as I like to call it...no pitocin, no iv, etc. Plus insurance covers it...woohoo! We then went to eat at an italian ristorante...not sure what kind it is...maybe southern? lots of fish...errr...never was good at that. Anyway, I got fettucine with squash, other veggies, and garlic and breadcrumbs in a white whine sauce. can't remember what DH got b/c mine was so tasty!
Saturday had to go for a glucose screening to be sure I didn't have gestational diabetes...had to drink this NASTY s**t called Glucola...tasted like ultra-sweet orange cough syrup. I passed it. Can't remember much from the day...cleaned house maybe?
Sunday we woke up late and a friend and his parents came over. We sat by the pool all day, then went out to eat at the same italian restaurant. Got shrimp in a light sauce with tarragon/saffron rice....yummy. Then the parents left, we went home to let out the pup, the boys made coffee and spiked it with sambuca to take to the movies. We saw "Little Miss Sunshine"...incredible. I NEVER cry at movies, and the story is just so twisted and funny and beautiful, I had tears at the end (and perhaps it was the pregnancy a little too). It said to me that we're all f**ked up, but probably not as much as we think.
Monday, slept late again, sat by the pool all day again, I read in the shade part of the time. Finishing a book on the history of eating disorders...I'm a little nerdy like that, but it IS pretty interesting. Had dinner out again (HEY it's our vacation!) at an "upscale" mexican restaurant. It was a very nice restaurant with tables on the sidewalk. If you order guacamole, they make it for you at the table! The food was decent, but I expected more.
Tuesday...oh here's a funny one. It started to rain early morning. There must have been a branch collecting large drops of water and dropping it onto the AC in the window, b/c the rain was light but the sound of these large drops was keeping us awake. Adam was so annoyed that he decided to remove the AC from the window. He grabbed a towel to place the AC on, started to crack the window to release the AC, and it did just that. The AC flew out of the window from the second floor, and the cord followed. Adam just stood there with his jaw to the floor and I jumped up saying "why didn't ask for my help!" He in his boxers and I in my t-shirt and undies both looked at each other and just exploded in laughter! I could barely stand up I was laughing so hard. We both reached for the window, shut it, and went back to bed to the light sound of rain drops on the roof and trees. Needless to say, the AC didn't survive the fall. Oh well, summer is almost over and it's never hot enough for it where we are anyway.
The rest of the day we relaxed, went to the main house to read by the pool, and watched some bad television.
Am taking a some time off again next week to go home to Louisiana to see my brother in town from California and to have a baby shower with family and friends. Sailing too, but this time I think we'll steer clear of the storms...we're not racing.

Haha, Its obvious youre pregnant, you're writing mainly about what you ate!! I was like that too, I used to phone Carlo and say "don't even THINK about coming home without chocolate and broccoli!"

I know. it's sad really! I email my mom everyday to tell her what I am having for lunch, or what I want for dinner...sometimes I'll slip a little normal conversation!
