The time is going by SO fast!  I forget to update on here, and I've been horrible about keeping a pregnancy journal.  I know one day I'll forget, but it's hard to imagine being able to forget everything that's been happening to me.  I love my little guy more and more everyday!  He's already the best thing to ever happen to me and he's not even here yet.  I'm starting to get really uncomfortable, but it's a small price to pay.  If I stand or sit too long I start feeling a lot of stretching in my back and lower abdomen and it makes it difficult to catch my breath.  But I'm trying to walk a lot more and it seems to be helping me sleep at least.  Or what little I can anyways.  It's hard to imagine how the next 11 weeks will go.  I can't imagine getting any bigger and how that will feel.  But I love watching my belly grow and seeing him move.  He likes to press as hard as he can against me and it can get uncomfortable, but it makes me laugh when I feel it.  It's like I can sense his personality already and he seems very playful.  He usually kicks back if we poke him or move my tummy around.  And unless he sleeps at night, which I wouldn't know since I'm asleep, he never sleeps!  He's up all day and moving around.  Or he at least sleeps for very very short periods of time.  I guess I won't know till he's finally here.  But I'm so excited to meet him and see what he looks like.  I know the time will go fast.  I'm starting to sense how hard it'll be to do this in the middle of the summer though!  It's barely in the 90's and I'm not even that big yet and  already feel like I'm barely going to make it.  But I'm planning on spending a lot of time in the pool!  And I can't wait to start getting his room ready.  His crib's put up, but we still need to paint all of his furniture and then after the shower I can start seeing what I need and put things together.  It'll be fun to see it all coming together.  And hopefully soon I'll be working less hours so I can come home and take naps in the afternoon and not have to sit so long all day.
