Yesterday, I decided to actually peel myself off of the sofa (after reading a fantastic book entitled Paper Towns) and bake some banana bread. I find it odd that I loved to cook prior to the pregnancy and now, I'm good with some mac n cheese or a microwaveable meal. Thank you, Lean Cuisine, for making life so easy.
The laziness that accompanies pregnancy is slightly off-putting. I really can't find the incentive to get up for anything except peeing nowadays. This, of course, really stinks seeing where there's currently NOTHING on TV and I'll need to do some present-wrapping over the next couple of days. I am hoping that my love of cooking and writing and doing things OTHER than reenacting the daily activities of a sloth will return once I pop this little hobbit out. I also hope that my love of fruits and veggies returns. The kid only wants apples and chocolate. Everything else need not apply.
So today, I brought in some banana nut bread to work. It was a pretty good batch. Very yummy indeed.
Anyway, now onto the fun and exciting things that happened this weekend. On Saturday night, as I was scrolling through the guide to find something on television that didn't have the words "Charlie Brown", "Christmas" or "Grinch" in them, I was rubbing my rounded abdomen absent-mindedly when a hand or foot literally ran the entire length of my belly. Again, I know this is probably boring to you seasoned mommy vets but I've been waiting anxiously for this to happen....there's nothing like a body part protruding from your stomach to simultaneously awe you and creep you out. I can't wait until you can actually make it out so I can chase poor unsuspecting folk around work screaming "It's an alien!"
After some consideration, I decided that it must've been Hobbit's hand and that the kid was trying to high-five me. Either that or it was trying to bitchslap me because fetuses can be cheeky like that, but I'll just chalk it up to a high-five.
For those inquiring minds that want to know: I ended up watching Law and Order Criminal Intent reruns.

Seems to me like Hobbit wants out, in due time because for now at least you do not have to chase the lil one around lol. But honestly, to me it sounded like Hobbit may have been trying to change the channel. In any advent, I love your Hobbit story's because each one makes me feel closer to to Him/Her.
I think hobbit was trying to high five ya for sure. who wouldn't want to high five ya? And even us seasoned moms find baby movement awesome (at least I did every single time! Its so cool to see them move around isn't it??)- I miss those days - not enough to do it again, but cherish those moments. Give hobs A high five for auntie!
Hmmmmm, sweets and Apples, sitting on your bladder, and the hiccups, sounds like Hobbit is going to be just like cousin Brendan who I clearly remember did all the same things to stacey, thats interesting!
Do you mind if I call the lil onr hobby? I love and miss you all so much!
dont forget your appetite for sex too!!!!
You sound more like your father-in-law everyday!
