Week 31 Update
This week's update is coming to you from the road. I am in DC with work as my team at Yahoo! scored an interview with the President. We'll be taping it tomorrow so look for a shameless plug to the link later on; we can use all the traffic we can get.
But back to the real reason you are here. I am told the McNugget now weighs about 3.3 pounds (WOW) which is like "carrying 4 navel oranges." Personally, I think the folks at BabyCenter got a little lazy with the fruit analogies this week.
My flight here was great. It was actually much more comfortable than the one I took a few weeks ago where I got to sit in the exit row. I was so proud of the McNugget for taking it so well and am hopeful the ride home will be just as smooth.
I am getting more uncomfortable doing certain things, like sitting on my hotel room bed in front of my laptop right now. It's easy to sit at a chair, especially at a desk, but plunking down on a bed is more difficult. I also can't lay on my stomach anymore (I used to do this and prop myself and my belly up by my elbows - this position is no longer comfortable). Today was the first time I really missed the way things were before I was pregnant because I am not enjoying hauling this bump around me or having to negotiate it's position in front of me while I sit. It's a good thing there are only 9 or so weeks to go.
This morning I had a pain in the top right part of my belly while I was lying in bed. I thought this could be a contraction (having a few of them are to be expected at this point) but it felt better when I stood up and as far as I know, contractions don't really go away just because you change positions. I wonder what it was. I really hope it wasn't a contraction because it felt pretty bad. I am trying to be open minded about the birth, hoping I can make it through without many medical or other interventions, but since I don't know what to expect, I really have no idea how I will react in the moment. I really hope the whole birthing process isn't like today's pain.
On Saturday I report to my first birthing class. I'm looking forward to it. There is only so much I can get from reading books. I am looking forward to having an expert explain it all to me.

Tee hee hee. You a funny mommy. I wish I was in DC to eat navel oranges with you and the McNugget.
