Big rolls!
I'm laying on my side, you can see my leg in the background and closest to the camera are my ribs/lungs. Early in the video the baby rolls and I look like a giant waterbed mattress.
This is what I look like 24/7.. he is constantly on the move!

34 weeks- LOOK OUT.
Look out, my hormones are kicking in.
This whole pregnancy has been kind of stressful but so far I've kept calm and relaxed for the baby. Hormonally it's been pretty mild, no crazy mood swings just 3AM cake cravings evoking hysterical crying jags.. but no anger, no violent outbursts that you always see in movies.
Until this weekend, that is. The baby dropped quite a bit and since then I have been Pregzilla. Klaus was breech for about a week and then a few nights ago seemed to finally turn vertex and stay that way. It was a big movement and wasn't comfortable at all.. but all the pain and pressure I had up in my diaphragm just lifted like a curtain.. I could eat and breathe again but its come with a whole set of issues.
TMI alert- highlight to read.
I have pubic symphysis. When the baby's head grinds against my pubic bone it feels like that whole area is being torn to shreds. I can't lift one leg very high, so putting on pants is extremely painful... and turning over in bed doesn't feel good either. Beyond that I feel like I'm going to poop the kid out, there is so much pressure down there.. but hey, at least I can breathe, right?
end TMI.
I gave the poor clerk at Motherhood some attitude when she told me pregnancy underwear was non refundable (god you'd hope not). I also have no issues complaining loudly at people who don't watch where they're going in the mall... I am hugely pregnant and people still don't seem to bother to give me any room. People run into me all the time, and before I would just sigh and try to build up momentum again, but now, WATCH OUT. I'm out of patience for rude people and I get pretty cranky. The neighbors have gotten an earful, too. They let their kids run around out there and scream and grind plastic on the concrete all day long and I've just resorted to yelling at them to shut up and if that doesn't work, I make loud lewd noises until their parents drag them inside. I think four hours of non-stop screaming would be ANYBODY'S limit. My window broke while I was trying to open it and the complex was supposed to send someone today so I got up early to wait for them and nobody ever came or called or anything. They have a lovely message on their machine for them to listen to tomorrow.
Needless to say I will be happy to get out of this complex. We did find a few really nice places but we are still looking. This week all I'm planning on doing is relaxing and taking it easy and trying to be less cranky.. I will start working on everything again next week. We don't have much longer at all.
