34
So I have lately felt inexplicably like I've been getting smaller, now that I've spent all this time getting bigger. Before anyone panics, everything checks out just fine with the baby. I'm gaining the appropriate amount of weight, my blood pressure is good, everybody's heartbeat is healthy, and there's definitely a lot of swimming going on in there. But last week, it seems to my impatient eyes like progress has stalled.
So to make myself realize that things continue even when my perception has adjusted to the changes, I've implimented toilet paper Tuesdays. This is, apparently, what pregnant women do: they measure their belly size in squares of toilet paper and take a picture of the bump every week.
This is TP Tuesday #26. (Not that I started doing this at the beginning of incubation, but it's much easier to count the same way for this as for doctor's appointments and the like.) My count today is a smidge over 11 squares, and belly picture below.
Maybe I'll also implement Milkshake Mondays. Whatdya think?
