Pants are stupid. Cupcakes are not.

I should start by saying that I could really use a giant glass of milk and a piece of chocolate something. Also that I’m 31 weeks today! Crazy, crazy times are upon us.

We went back to Florida over the weekend to go have a check up with Suzy and every thing seems to be going swimmingly. My blood pressure is awesome and Chase is already settling into position…leaving me with a lack of a bladder and a serious need to use the facilities every 30 seconds. I also just found my first stretch marks this morning. I bragged too much about not getting them, so that’s what I get. They’re not on my tummy, so I’ll leave it to your imagination to figure out where my new friends have laid claim on my precious body. At least it’s minimal and will (hopefully) go away at some point in the future. Or not. I don’t know. Let me have this dream!

THE gut

I also learned that the doula I originally had will no longer be my doula and I now have a different one. I’m a little on edge about this, I don’t know this chic and she doesn’t seem to be very…aggressive? Comforting? I’m not sure what word I’m looking for here. I just know I need someone who will bitch slap me if need be in the middle of me freaking out and my previous doula was awesome in making me feel like every thing was/is going to be a-ok. Luckily, Steve gave me a pep talk afterward, ensured me every thing was going to be peachy, and made me feel much better about the situation.

Other than that little glitch, all is well in the Benson neighborhood. Chase is crazy active and pokes around all day. Steve and I read to him almost every day and I talk to him constantly. He’s going to be so tired of hearing me talk, plus all of the Indie and girlie music I subject him to. Poor little guy.

On a non-baby related note, I’ve actually been enjoying Montgomery more so than I thought I would. I’ve met a few girls that I like and getting out of the room to explore is always a fun time. Shout out to Chelsea for keeping me entertained! :-)
A few of the spouses of SOS. I’m the really large one on the left.


Annnnnd I just set up a massage for Wednesday. Yah!! If only I could make it to my chiro, life would be splendid. Oh well, next month I’ll pay him a visit or two.

I leave you all with words of wisdom/something that I have learned during this pregnancy. Milk is awesome for heartburn. I should have known that (acid/base, duh!), but sometimes it takes me a while to figure things out.

Keep it real, all day ‘er day.
