Eggplant Baby



Who decided the corresponding fruits and veggies for the weeks of pregnancy?  A durian fruit is coming up.  What the heck is that, anyway?  Can I buy it at my local grocery store?  No, I cannot.

But this week, Baby Cakes is a little eggplant, somewhere between 13.5 and 14.8 inches and 1.5 to 2.2 pounds.  And he or she is kicking me like no other.  In the middle of the night, during the day, while I'm walking, while I'm sitting... pretty much all the time.  I love it.  And people can feel and SEE my stomach jerk and move.  Pretty trippy man.  Hubby and I decided to watch Prometheus and the Alien trilogy movies lately too... so familiar to me!

We are also officially in the third trimester.  With 84 days left until the due date.  Everything just seems to be flying by so quickly.  Every time I look at the calendar, it seems I have even less time to prepare for our little arrival.

And even with time flying by, it also seems to be crawling.  I visualize our birth at least once a day, and I just can't wait to see our baby, hold our baby, and just meet our baby.  I am so excited to be a mom.  And I can't believe I will be in three months or less.
