29 Weeks 5 Days

Posted by: typealice In: Baby| Daily


The woman who came to pick up the suitcases I was selling her (from Kijiji) sneered at the fact that I found out the sex of my baby and said in a disgusted voice, “kids these days.” Clive said that I should have kicked her out and shut the door in her face and said, “NO SUITCASES FOR YOU!”

I rarely get comments from strangers about being pregnant. I’m not sure why… maybe I don’t look approachable or something? If people start giving me their opinions on the choices I’ve made like the woman today, I’d prefer people kept their questions and comments about my pregnancy to themselves anyway.

The baby’s gone through some sort of growth spurt or something in the past couple of days, because his bum is directly under my ribcage and slouching is getting uncomfortable. There’s about a one centimeter gap between the bulge of his bum and the underwire of my bra when I sit up straight, and I have a feeling it’s only going to get worse from here on out. He’s also taken to stretching out his legs to the very far edge of my uterus (which is in the middle of my side, now) on my right side, and I can feel his feet digging into me, and it really hurts. Kicking movements have almost completely stopped- maybe it’s getting tight in there- but when he does manage to kick, it moves my entire midsection. He’s strong!

Very pretty picture!
On a side-note, what other items are you selling? I’m an eBay hound. Always looking for good buys.

Not really selling anything. Our big stuff I’ll be listing on kijiji, and a couple articles of clothing (one pair of maternity pants and one Garbage Pail Kids shirt) I’ll post on eBay… but other than that, I think we’re pretty much done.

About

I'm Gillian, a Nova Scotian woman with a son named Ash (born 09/07) and a wife to Clive. I am what they call an Attachment Parent; I breastfeed, wear my baby as much as possible, cosleep, cloth diaper and practice elimination communication. I have very strong parenting views. We are raising Ash as an organic vegetarian. I care about the environment and do what I can to reduce my carbon footprint and set a good example for others, especially my child.

I'm proudly drug free, but can't say that I have always been. My early 20s were comprised mostly of travelling- I've lived and worked everywhere from West Africa to the Caribbean. I currently run AP Mamas, a site dedicated to attachment parenting and G Slings, my sustainable sling company.
