(c)ankles etc.

10/52

28 weeks. less than 10 weeks until im full term. wow.

darra, the guardcat.  she loves hanging out next to the baby. bffs already.

our cable box is on the fritz, so jake and i have been binge watching parenthood on netflix.  so much drama. so much goodness. its like friday night lights, wholesome, but not THAT unrealistic.  a lot of people know my late blooming obsession with FNL, so comparing parenthood to FNL is big for me.  it is.  im sure our impending parenthood has a lot to do w our fascination of this show, but its good writing and really good acting.  and i love this show so, so much. jake said i say that i LOVE things too much. but i do love this show.  

now,  im watching an episode of GIRLS, polar opposite of parenthood.  jake hates this show, but i like it a lot. :)

its getting hot in here.  95 degrees over the weekend has gotten my hands, feet, ankles, and anything else that can swell up REALLY swollen.  i resolved to take off my rings, which i never do and am constantly measuring the thickness of my (c)ankles.  jake looks at me and tells me that i look awesome and then reminds me that i have a BABY growing inside my body.  when i first got pregnant, i promised myself that i would never, ever complain about pregnancy symptoms bc we've been waiting for this baby for so long.  w my first bout of nausea, i would think it was cool that my body was responding to the baby (and it was!!!).  but i've started to feel a bit uncomfortable w my giant belly and now giant everything else. 

i need to keep reminding myself that this, all of this, is a gift.
