Okay so before sharing baby news and updates I need to tell you about something that I'm extremely excited about. THE TEMPEST!!! In case you don't know, this one author named uhhh, oh yeah William Shakespeare wrote this little play called The Tempest. Well, someone decided to revamp it into a movie that is coming out in December of this year and why am I so excited?
BECAUSE....Helen Mirran is in it! So is Djimon Hounsou! AND Russell Brand! If you know me at all you would know that I have a deep affection for strange, offbeat British comedy and my biggest celebrity crush in recent times is Noel Fielding who happens to be super good friends with Russell Brand. Ooooooh the British hilarity and gorgeousness :)
BABY NEWS...
I'm 23 weeks along. The baby is about a pound or more. I can literally feel one part of her body on one side of my stomach and then her kicking on the other side. The coolest thing is that you can actually see it! Now Jeff can see her moving or feel her depending on how hard she is punching or kicking that day...it is pretty awesome!
My belly on the other hand...not so awesome and I'm totally not digging this side of pregnancy. I don't have cravings (I really wish people would stop asking me that) and I don't eat a million pounds a day, but it's like this has a mind of its own! It just keeps growing-my students claim they notice a difference daily, but I reassure them that it is because of the clothes I wear-sometimes loose, sometimes tighter.
I really don't know why women enjoy being pregnant- you get fat, your feet swell, you are freaking tired all the time, you are hungry, you eventually stop being able to see your feet, it hurts to bend over so you have to do the "pregnant squat", you get hot even when its freezing, you can't sleep on your stomach or your back....I could go on.
I guess some women are just glad to be able to have babies. Don't get me wrong, I am excited...very excited about the baby just not about the pregnant deal. I like the end product. I'm pretty sure that is how I am about everything though. Classic Amanda.
I think this blog is a bit scatter brained. I'm suffering from this thing called "baby brain" so blame it on that.
