So I haven't posted anything new in a little over a week now. And that's because there hasn't been anything interesting to report. 

Sadly, the only new development is that my fingers are more swollen now and so the wedding band had to come off. I am waiting for the new, fake one I got on eBay to get here. It feels so weird not to have anything on my left hand! Also, I managed to gain 4 pounds in two weeks. Go me!

For the first time, I had someone inform me yesterday that they did not think I looked like I would make it to my due date. I agreed with them, but not for the reason I presume they had. I can't help it if I carry babies waaaay out in front. I'm sure I look like I'm already about to pop, but this kid better stay where he is for another four weeks, at least!

I have had one or two astute mothers (who also have multiple boys) guess exactly how pregnant I am and what I am having and that was pretty impressive.  Unfortunately, though, most people who feel the need to comment/make guesses about your impending motherhood don't know what the heck they're talking about. I have been the recipient of many inappropriate and uninformed comments. The worst, however, has to have been by an employee at the Brookstone at Stony Point in Richmond. I was four weeks postpartum with Dominic and this IDIOT says to me, "Oh, you're expecting!" Um, no. I told him, no, I wasn't and pointed out that Dominic was only four weeks old. Refusing to back down, he proceeds to say, "Well, you could be pregnant." So I told him that was currently impossible. After that, he didn't really say anything else; he also didn't apologize. 

Well, that's it for now. I expect things to be pretty slow on the blog front for the next several weeks. It's still too soon to be totally uncomfortable (and therefore whiny about it) and my next appointment is still a little over three weeks away. If anything interesting happens, though, I'll be sure to write about it.
