4 months

I can't believe I'm already 4 months along. This baby will be here in no time. The dizziness I was feeling last week has not come back so it seems it was just that I needed to tweak my diet a little bit. I eat so often now that I don't even really get the chance to be hungry. My boss looked at me the other day an said "every time I come out here you are eating". I thought he was going to tell me to be more productive but he proceeded to ask if he could have some and sat down and ate with me for awhile.

I have been feeling the baby a lot recently. At first it just felt like gas bubbles in a place I have never had them, but now feels stronger almost like pop corn popping in me. I don't feel it all the time, but when I do I almost always stop what I am doing because it just feels so weird. I did notice that the baby sleeps, or at least is really still, most of the day and seems to wake up when I lay down on the couch in the evening. This morning I sneezed while getting ready for work and felt a flurry of movement. I must have scared Peanut awake. (I did feel a little bit bad). I can't wait till the movements get even bigger and Sean can feel them.

I bought a couple books yesterday that help with the all the jumble of everything you are supposed to buy for a baby. One of them even give you money saving techniques. I'm excited to really start researching this stuff and finding what is the safest and most affordable. It will probably still be about 3-4 more weeks before we start making to many baby purchases because we want to find out the gender before we buy too much.

I haven't really gotten to many comments from strangers about my baby bump yet, but I know they will be coming soon because I keep getting stares. It always makes me feel like I buttoned my shirt the wrong way or have something on me, and then I remember they are probably just looking at my growing peanut.

I had my first moment of irrational crying due to pregnancy hormones yesterday on my way home from work. I was stopped at a red light, checked my left to see if I would be able to turn right and the guy behind me laid on his horn and made some exasperated hand movement. Evidently the light turned green right after I turned my head and this guy was extremely impatient. Anyway, I turned and then I felt the tears welling up. I have no idea really why I was crying, I hadn't done anything wrong. That guy just kind of hurt my feelings and crying seemed like the thing to do. When I told Sean about it he was really supportive but I could tell he thought it was really funny. I told him to go ahead and laugh because I thought it was hilarious. I'm sure there will be more crazy emotions to come in the months ahead.
