My OB told me today I was doing my baby a favor and contributing to a healthier world by having a biracial baby (because he/she is less likely to inherit a genetic disease). It was awkward, to say the least.
My random is that I wish it would quit raining and being overcast, because it's affecting my mood. I need every ounce of sunshine-induced energy boosts at this stage in my pregnancy.
My 3.5 year old asked me if the baby is going to come out of my vagina while we were in the car yesterday. I was surprised, but told her yes. She then asked if it would hurt. Way to throw out the big questions when I'm least expecting it, kid! I told her yes, but it's over pretty quickly and at the end I'll have a baby!
I found a stretchy non-maternity work shirt buried in the back of my closet this morning, and I'm wearing it today. It's the little things in life.
I broke down and ate Wendy's at lunch and now I'm fighting to stay awake.
I'm being pulled into a proposal effort in the next few weeks, which should end right before I go on ML. This is in addition to my normal job duties. I'm too tired to be stoked that I haven't been mommy-tracked.

Um wow!
My baby bump grew over the week, so I have a feeling I will be telling the rest of my co-workers I'm expecting very soon. My boss keeps staring at my stomach saying that he is surprised how different it looks compared to last week. Also, I can't fit the majority of my clothes, so my H and I are going shopping tonight. I'm really excited.

My 6 year old shouted at me from the toilet last week, 'Mum, it's like I just had a baby, I really had to squeeze that poo out.' DH was unimpressed, I thought it was funny.
1 - As I bent over to climb out the car today I peed myself. And not just a little dribble, but full on needed to change my clothes. If I was further along I would have thought my waters broke.
2 - I realised today that my baby's first day of primary school will be the same day as my son's first day of high school (UK high school starts at 11 going on 12 years old, and baby will start school just before his/her 5th birthday).

Last night FI said that he saw a lady the was 8 months pregnant who looked the same size as my (5 months and didn't think I was big). He was joking, but not nice at all. Luckily just before that he was telling me how much he loved my bump ad how beautiful I am.
I feel like I'm finally getting in gear to prepare for the baby. Now that we found a house I'm so much more excited to get everything ready for her.

I'm getting worried b/c all my symptoms are basically gone. I was able to stay awake without fighting it until 10 last night, when I'd been going to be around 8 every night. My morning sickness has all but gone away - but it was never bad. And of course I'm 3 weeks from my next appointment. Every time I pee I'm paranoid I'm going to see blood.
bluelikejazz, sorry you're stressed. You'll hear a lot on here that a lack of symptoms is not something to worry about; symptoms come and go. But it's still annoying to deal with, mentally. Hope you get some reassurance soon!
I already AW'd in the third tri check-in post but I'll AW again: My work threw me a surprise shower today! I was completely shocked. They all pitched in for a super, super generous gift card to Babies R Us. One my extremely crafty co-workers also tracked down the Etsy seller who is making my baby bedding and is making me a banner/bunting to match. The fabric hadn't arrived yet but I was SO freaking touched by this. I work with the best people.

Hmmm, that is an interesting to say...but your OB is right - more genetic variation the better! haha.
bluelikejazz I hated that feeling! I'm so glad my symptoms went away but that always made me nervous. I still look for blood when I pee and I'll probably never stop. The wait between appointments is killer. Hang in there. I try to put the worst out of my mind but it is hard.
My random: WHY DID I NOT BUY MATERNITY PANTS EARLIER? I've been trying to get by with these belly bands that can hold up your pre-pregnancy pants. It is the most uncomfortable thing ever and every time I sit or stand I feel like they are going to fall down. I stopped at Motherhood at the mall on the way home from work and OMG those pants feel GREAT!

DS's questions about the baby are getting increasingly more interesting day by day.
Today he asked if the baby was in my butt. No child but I'm clogged up enough to feel like it is.
