Weird day - weird feelings

After our birth class late last night i decided to take today off.  I was super tired, despite having a one hour nap in the afternoon.  I just felt like I needed to stop for a day.

Today I've felt ... heavy ... only in the belly.  I wonder if this change is what I'm going to be feeling for the next ten weeks.  Any advice from any of the experienced moms would be appreciated.  I've been very tired and I feel like I'm going to topple over forward. 

So, my day of planning to vacuum and pick up the the living room got shot to hell.  I did some online shopping and managed to eat well (healthy that is).  Hopefully the rest of this week will get easier.  I'm still looking forward to working my full schedule.  I also have BIG BIG plans for making the Black and White Pound Cake!


BTW -- This company has some great homemade soaps for ALL purposes.  Their name is Blue House Soaps.  I ordered the wool wash soap bar and the liquid wool wash for washing wool diapers, when the time comes and a bottle of their Aloha hair conditioner.  I was really impressed with the ingredient list and awareness of not using products that destroy forests.  Here's the link to their blog and heres the link to their website.  If you try anything (they offer sample packages), please mention my name or email address.  I'll get a $5 gift card.  Also click on the tag at the bottom of the website and get 10% off of all of your orders.

Hmm...it sounds like baby may have flipped, changing the way you carry and where you feel the balance of the weight. That's happened to me a few times before.

Ooohh, tell me how you like the Black and White cake! Frank is thrilled that someone is actually trying this stuff out! :)This week he's going to post three of our favorite breakfast dishes!

That makes sense! He must be posterior too because today he's been putting on a show! Neato! I googled it and many people say that they can/will change positions often before settling down into the launch position. I really need to start reading the stack of books I have. Whew! Well thanks for the info. I'll post pics and comments of the cake when it's done.


Thank you, God, for blessing us with a successful full term pregnancy and for helping me recognize and receive your guidance and healing power as our baby grows in my womb.  I know that we are being blessed with a beautiful, healthy baby, and I thank you for your loving presence in our lives.  Amen.
