How far along are you? Five, six months?
Almost 4.5 months.
Wow, you're big.
Uh-huh.
Are you sure it's one baby?
Unless they're twins with synchronized heartbeats, or conjoined and sharing one heart, it's one baby. Or triplets. I guess we'll find out for sure at this Saturday's ultrasound.
Do you have any cravings?
Food. I eat a lot more sweet stuff than I used to. Luckily, some of it is fruit. Some of it isn't - the babies in my ass seem to like those snacks.
Has your bellybutton started sticking out yet?
Not yet, but it's quickly disappearing, getting shallower and shallower. I've discovered it has a little mole in it.
Are you going to find out what it is?
We assume the child to be human, since neither Sam nor I was taken for very long. As least we don't think we were. Though perhaps the recent nose bleeds I've had are due to the implant? In regard to the sex of the baby, we've decided to wait and be surprised in the delivery room. Hopefully, Bean will be modest and not expose the privates at our upcoming ultrasound.
Do you have names picked out?
Not yet. I know, I know, the weeks are passing. But we'll get it together one of these days. Hopefully before I go into labor.
Yup. those questions keep coming over and over. In fact, they never end. Wait till people start asking about breastfeeding and such. That's where the fun really is.
Posted by: Sarcastic Journalist at June 14, 2005 11:12 PMIt's amazing how pregnancy just opens the door for some people. When my wife was pregnant she would get tons of questions very much in the same vein (although she was quite small, so she got the comments about that). My favorite is when the lady in her yoga class asked:
Yoga lady: "Do you squat?" (pronounced "squaaawwt")
Sarah: "Um, no."
Yoga lady: "Oh, you've got to squaaawwwt!"
Posted by: David at June 16, 2005 07:12 AMYEAH! I just caught your blog and found out you're pregnant! I'm so excited for you.
Trust me, get sleep now while you can. People told me this as I got closer to the birth of Nadia and I wondered how they expected me to sleep when the baby made it so uncomfortable. It gets worse when they get out and get up every two hours!
Drop me a line if you want to chat.
Posted by: pooneh at June 16, 2005 11:23 PMIf you need any help with baby names, I have some GREAT idea! Besides the obvious-Emily or Emmaleigh (my sister used it and it worked well)-there's Cynthia, Daisy, Quosha-Zelda...
