Today I feel very blessed for the privilege of being pregnant, especially in this time and place. As a newly inaugurated member of the population that understands the traumas, joys, discomforts, and life changing nature of pregnancy, I often marvel at how women in 3rd world countries and women in past generations survive(d) and thrive(d) during pregnancy. How does a pregnant gal get any sleep without a comfy mattress and 5,000 pillows to bolster the aching limbs and redistribute weight?
I got some new maternity clothes over the weekend (thanks Pete!) because I surprisingly outgrew the belly part of many of the maternity clothes I bought at the outset. I would like to take a moment to applaud the person who invented stretchy belly bands for the top of pants, shorts, etc. I bought some shorts and capris, which will likely be 99% of my wardrobe during this hot Phoenician summer, and I'm SO much more comfortable than I was without them. The belly is getting quite heavy these days and having the extra support around the belly feels nice too.
I still owe you all a video of the latest ultrasound and promise to publish one sometime before the baby arrives. I recently bought some new video editing software and have no idea how to use it; it wasn't as immediately user-friendly as I'd planned on. I'll likely get to the video project after our upcoming travel.
