"look at that thing"

This is it people, it is almost the month of October. Baby Goulet could arrive any day , as I am reminded by my false labor. I have the hospital bag packed, the car seat set, and the cradle is made. The "biggest" development as of late (get this pun), is that my belly has exploded. All of my fears of not being big enough have stopped. Daniel and I routinely look at my belly and say "look at that thing!" Daniel calls it "the torpedo" because it shoots straight out in front of me.

I am not sure why this is, maybe my equilibrium is off. But when Daniel and I walk together at night I just keep walking into him. 2. I can't walk, I waddle. There were times in the past that I would see pregnant women waddling and I thought that they were over-exaggerating. So if I had any sense of judgement in those moments, I am living with the backlash from that. I have officially started waddling. I didn't think that I waddled until the other day someone pointed out how "cute" it was. I can't do anything about it. 3. I can't put on shoes, or at least complicated ones. My belly is finally big enough that I can't reac
