23w4d Condo, Avi's, crazy MIL,

Thursday May 10 2007
6:25pm EDT

So, looks like the condo is going through. We're now just
waiting for the bank that holds the mortgage to approve the
loan. We have 30-60 days... ugh. I wish this could happen
sooner.

Jon's mom is crazy. I was talking to Jon about the shower
thing, and mentioned to him that if she still wanted to
throw a shower, she didn't have to do anything fancy. So he
was talking to her on the phone that night and told her this
idea and she completely heard things he didn't say -- i.e.
that we don't want her at the shower in Albany. Jon's dad
says that he just caught her at the wrong moment -- she'd
walked out of dinner earlier that night because something at
work set her off. Lovely. Let's hope this all blows over
soon. Hopefully by mother's day, we're going over there for
her bbq. God I hate her.

This past Saturday Jon and I went out to Avi's in
Northampton, MA for her Cinco de Mayo party. It was fun!
Also in attendance: Jenn, Caroline, Brooke, Erin, and Rachel
for the early part of the day. We went to UMass to see her
brother's band play and then came back to her house. Jon had
Avi's husband Marc for some testosterone, plus baby Elijah,
who is oh so cute. At Avi's we munched on guac and other
yummies. A few of her mom's group friends and their kids
showed up, plus Ivy! Yay! And we had Skype set up to be able
to see and interact with Teresa's going away party out in
LA. It was pretty funny. We left around 9 and got home
around 11ish. Not bad! I'm glad I went out!

So, I'm now 23 and a half weeks pregnant. Last night I
started noticing kicking from the outside. Like, I could see
it... it was crazy. Jon still hasn't felt it, but I can feel
it from the outside! Cool! I'm still making up our registry
... Jon and I will probably go to Babies R Us tomorrow after
work to look at furniture and stuff. Mom's still organizing
my shower in Albany. I can't believe I'm going to have an
ACTUAL BABY in a few short months. Sunday I think all the
websites say I'll be 6 months, isn't that crazy? Being
pregnant is WEIRD. My belly is growing, I can't hide it at
all anymore. I had some weird pains at 22 weeks and 22w5d.
The first time was after.. yanno... grown up fun, and I'd
orgasmed, and then I had period-like pains starting slowly
and building up to one ouchie pain that then tapered off.
Same thing happened last Friday night when I burned some
syrup stuff on the stove and inhaled the smoke. Scary, but
it hasn't happened since. I'll mention it on Tuesday when I
go in for my 24 week appointment.

Can't remember if I updated, but Heather had her baby a few
weeks ago. Her sister had her baby 5 days later! I talked to
Heather yesterday, she sounds good but says she's exhausted.
I'm going to see her next Sunday.

I guess that's about it!
