Getting Ride of Clutter

"It's Starting to Creep Me Out..."

Noel's felt baby's kicks here and there but he's never felt the baby moving around (rotating, etc) So last night when we were watching tv, I placed his hand on my stomach. I wasn't sure how much of the movement he would feel because sometimes I feel more from the inside then it's visible outside. Apparently it was enough for him to feel baby rotating around. But after a few moments, he said "it's starting to creep me out.." and removed his hand from my stomach. I told him that's how I feel all the time. I find his reaction amusing.

I love it! So easy to put up. Provides a ton of entertainment. We anticipate how the wax melts and solidifies. Maybe we are just too simple :-)

So close....

As any partner of a pregnant woman know, the weight gain is a very sensitive topic. So the partner must choose his answers carefully like avoiding explosion in a huge land mine.

I put on the holiday dress I got a few of days before the holiday party to make sure I can still fit. I wasn't distress: I looked pregnant but not over weight.

However, on the day of the holiday party I did not feel the same. I felt bloated and that I look fat in the dress. I whined to Noel about it when we arrived at the party.

Jasmine: I look fat! :-(
Noel: No you don't. You look beautiful.
Jasmine: (Taking my coat off) but my arms look fat.
Noel: Well, maybe if you just cover them with your shawl..

So close....
