6 months have flown by!



Wow!

It seems amazing to me to be six months pregnant. I keep saying it over and over and it makes me giggle like a little girl trying out her married name to some famous rock star or prince. It's astonishing to me that we've come this far, this well and I am so very thankful.

Baby has been growing and moving - I'm starting to experience to beginnings of 'run out of room' syndrome - something I expect will get considerably worse. I still hope not to have a giant baby, but I do wonder where on earth I will put all the new pounds I am expected to gain over the next few months. Sometimes I feel full to bursting as it is! I find particularly if I eat anything approaching a regularly sized meal, I feel as though I might explode - clearly I have graduated to the 'small meals only' section of pregnancy. But as has been the story, no real complaints. I'm still doing yoga and hope to join yogapod's prenatal classes in the New Year and I feel good!

We didn't get the house - we were embarrassingly outbid by someone who materialized from thin air after our initial bid. No one wanted this house for six months and then suddenly, poof!, rich people show up and steal it out from under us. We felt like we didn't even get to play - they just crushed us. But alas, there were many problems and issues to be considered, especially with a new baby (they wanted us to remove all conditions, including inspection - sure! lead paint? no problem!) so we were not willing to do that, needless to say.

So instead, we went to an auction and bought ourselves the most beautiful Burmese Mahogany floor - so we're renovating the place instead. Not quite a big new house (well, old house) but still - pretty good!
