Today I am 20 weeks and 4 days pregnant. And I am huge. I’ve always been on the “thicker” side but now… Now, I’m just huge. Knowing that I’ve made it this far and that I have a baby growing in there somewhat makes me feel a little better when looking at my baby-bump in the mirror.

20 weeks 4 days pregnant and huge

I know that I’ve said I would get this website going again… Honestly, I’ve just not been bothered to do so – instead I’ve been doing other things.

Here are some random recent happenings:

Bruce proposed marriage a couple of weeks ago. June 7th, 2009. I said yes.

I got a much needed haircut on Monday. My hair was so long, almost at my butt-crack and was becoming a bitch to brush as it would get strangled too often.

My grandfather died on Monday too. It was very sudden and unexpected. He was my last living grandparent.

I’ve been coughing for a few months. I saw two doctors (a homeopath and a general practitioner) about it as it was getting worse, especially at night. They told me that my lungs are fine – that it’s just my throat that’s the problem. They each gave me a bronchilator and expectorant syrup, the homeopath gave me some little balls that go under my tongue. I’m coughing less nowadays and when I cough really hard, I’d cough up some lovely white-but-mostly-clear ~~gunk~~ mucus… So it’s getting better.

Bruce and I have bought some of baby’s first’s. Like a pacifier, an outfit, socks… Bruce even brought back a teddy bear from London. He went to watch the Rugby Sevens Finals. I saw him twice when I was watching it live on the television.

I started feeling the baby move on May 20th. I still need to get used to it.

I scared the baby. I think… Once I coughed hard a few times and then the baby pressed “out” hard. I cried out because it hurt. Bruce felt it and asked if the small bump he was feeling was one of my bones sticking out. I had no idea until that little hard bump disappeared several seconds of feeling it for myself.

Oh… And I now pee a little bit when I cough way too hard or sneeze multiple times, right after one another – even though I exercise my pelvic floor muscles. The other day I ended up putting four pairs of undies in the wash due to wet spots – It’s annoying!

I recently told Bruce about this embarrassing, yet annoying new development while I was sulking and crying about everything and nothing…

Me: …And it also happens when I cough way too hard…
Bruce: Well, use a tampon?
Me: You can’t shove a fucking tampon up your pee-hole!
Bruce: Believe!

I’ve not been spending as much time in front of the computer for quite a while now. Especially since my laptop screen shattered. Long story-shirt; I tripped over my younger sister’s cat while walking with my laptop, open, to the next room. How exactly? I took a couple of steps before the cat jumped in front of me. I stumbled, laptop went flying and slam-landed, shut on it’s lid. Now I have it hooked up to my old desktop monitor until it dies or maybe until I get a new machine.

I also no longer have my own internet connection and have use a 56Kbps dial-up when I really need to do something online but only if I’m up to it. It’s so annoyingly slow! Sometimes I’m lucky enough to use my dad’s 3G connection…

Anyway, I do plan on bringing this thing back to life. I want to but I’m just not bothered enough to sit in front of the computer and do much towards that right now.

Someday. Someday soon, maybe…
