I just got an email from my grandma reminding me that I have not posted here in a long time! When I checked, to my surprise, it has been an entire month! My apologies.
Stephen and I have been working our little tushes off- him a bit more literally than me, my tush seems to not be going anywhere anytime soon... But that is alright! My store (finally) got a manager this week, and I am so glad she's here. I just want to do things the right way and it is so much easier to do that when you have someone correcting your mistakes, having you back, and helping lighten your load so you actually have time to think once in a while!
Baby Millet is doing great- I feel her kicking all the time. Stephen finally has been able to feel her a few times (previously, she would kick then as soon as I got his hand over to feel, she would stop!) and a couple of my girls at work got to feel her too. I still pretty much look like a small watermelon is stuffed under my shirt, but that is okay with me. I can feel the changes in my body, but I still look pretty normal (with the exception of my bump!).
Stephen and I are looking forward to coming back later this month for our Holiday/Baby celebration! There's only 19 days till Christmas too! Time is really flying and I am looking forward to seeing our families. I have a OBGYN appointment on the 10th and I have to make sure to remember to get a note from her saying I am allowed to fly! I don't know that I would be detained, but I would rather not have any hassle.
I'm mostly done with Christmas shopping, and managed to avoid the holiday shopping craziness, so I feel pretty accomplished about the whole situation. My present wrapping skills may be improving also. The other day I was wrapping presents while Stephen was in the other room, and I got some really sharp pains under my ribs (Is that you kicking, baby?) so I yelped a bit and laid down on the ground. Stephen came over to check if I was okay and I was mid-present wrapping and had a particularly oddly shapped item that kept tearing the edges of the wrapping paper I was trying to cover it in, so I yelled "NO! Don't come in! I'm terrible at wrapping presents! You'll figure out what I got you!". But being the good husband that he is, he laughed and came in anyways and when he saw me laying there on the ground with tape and paper sprawled out around me he said "Do you need Life Alert? You look like one of their commercials!". He then showed me some tricks that make his wrapping so good on a present for our pup, and I think I finally am getting the hang of it. The presents I wrapped after that look a lot better!
Besides the ever-present back pain, however, I'm doing pretty alright. I'm hoping I can get my mom to help me "lower my shoulders" a bit when we come home!
