I'm seeing the chiropractor again for this kink in my back. I'm feeling more pregnant all the time. These symptoms started sooner with Savannah. My right hand fingers are stiff. I'm getting up now in the night to go to the bathroom, and my right foot is sensitive and tingly when I first get up in the morning.

I prayed today the baby comes on time. I think about his getting too big and that I would just like him here sooner to get started together. Perhaps I should relax. I know they come when they're ready but wonder what difference a week or two in the womb makes in a long life.

The literature a pregnant woman finds in books and on the internet says that baby's slow down toward the end of pregnancy. They run out of room and can't move too well in the their crowded little room.

But this little boy is getting aggressive. Perhaps he's claustrophobic. Especially today, he's been pushing very hard. It's not exactly painful. I just don't like it. So I've been pushing back.

I put this under the new baby's entry instead of mine because I attribute these things to my pregnancy with him. Twice today at the same stop sign, I pulled out without really looking for someone at another stop sign. In all fairness, it is a strange intersection and more often than not, there's no one else there. Thankfully, both times I stopped to let them go once I caught sight of them.

Tonight, coming home from conversations with Gail, I apparently stopped at a red light and treated it as a stop sign. My mind was definitely elsewhere. The policeman did not ticket me, and I could tell he was trying to be firm and nice at the same time. I believe he took one look at my belly and believed me when I said I didn't know and didn't mean to run the red light. He got another call and left abrubtly. But this baby is in control in a way Savannah wasn't. It's a different pregnancy in so many ways.

I decided that staying close to home more is not for me, so I'll have to just be very watchful on the roads.

I wonder if this baby will be an outdoorsman. When it was hot and still in the house (The window units do what they can.) a week or two ago, I'd be so grumpy in the muggy mornings until I stepped outside. Once out the door, I'd feel such a relief, getting in the van, outside. Savannah and I have spent time at parks and friends' houses. Although I don't really enjoy just being in the yard right now. I'm heavy and there's not much to do outside. If I turn on the sprinkler, Savannah wants me running through it with her which I can't do well right now. And it's sad to watch her with no friend. I'm trying for a couple of playdates next week.

This baby wants halepenos, especially the Rattlesnake Pasta from Uno's. It'll be interesting to see if he likes the hotter foods when he's older or if I still do when I'm no longer pregnant.
