29 weeks and 3 days

This a picture of me with my friend Wendy, caught her just after making the "oh my gosh, look at how big it is!" face.

Life is going fast and furious.  I love it!  The past week we've done some more de-cluttering and cleaning, although our house looks trashier than ever.  I had to give up the lease on my massage studio since I can't do that kind of work (Ashiatsu) right now and I haven't used it since January.  That note was killing me.  Anyway, we have a house and garage chock-full of "stuff" as the late George Carlin would say.  My left hip has been flopping out and causing me difficulty with walking so I've been skipping the swimming exercises and I missed one day of work.  Besides, the rain has been interfering with the pool stuff anyway.  I did have an appointment with my acupuncturist this week and she did a great job in relaxing the muscles that have been pulling my hip out of place.  BTW -- I weighed myself this morning and I'm just a notch under 200 lbs.  I started this pregnancy at 154 lbs.  That's a 45 lb. gain so far.  I'm expected to gain about a pound a week from here on out.  I guess that's not too bad considering all that my body has had to go through to get here.  

When I'm at home, this is generally the view I have from my easy chair. The only exception is that I had to wake Rita up to get these pictures.  Here she's like " what?  got milk?"

Here she's like "enough with the camera already!  you didn't even bring milk!!!"
