You go 3 days in a row with comments like "oh look at you, you've popped", or " aren't you so glad you've started showing? Now people won't wonder why you have gained weight", or my favorite "oh look at that belly! Is it hard yet". Of course all these statements are accompanied with a nice belly rub, and if anyone knows me you know my absolute favorite thing in the world is to be touched (I am hoping you hear the sarcasm). But it is official, I am pregnant and I look like it too.
I have to whine and say I am sooo tired of being pregnant. I only hit this point in the last month or so. Realistically when you think about it I should be done being pregnant by now, with the miscarriage last summer than the limited amount of time between pregnancies, I have been pregnant or dealing with pregnancy related issues for over 9 months now. By the time Addie does get her I will have been pregnant for over a year, I understand completely why God created a 9 month gestation period. Its long enough to get the baby born healthy but not too long that the mother goes insane. So if at any point in the near future you find me living with old mother hubbard just know it is because I passed that pivotal 9 month point... a month ago, my sanity is hanging by a thread and a good husband. :D
Enough of my spouting, we had the ultra sound yesterday afternoon. And really thats about it. No new answers, she is still growing really well. Unfortunately her bowel is still growing a bit too much to. Good news is that it hasnt gained in speed of growing, it is still growing at the same pace. We still haven't heard when interviews are being set up for Josh's position but I am betting it will be sometime in the next week. I wish it would be sooner rather than later. Patience is a virtue, I know. Other than that very little excitement here in Pocatello with us Woolstenhulmes.
P.S. Danalin, Addie is short for Adalyn and when you do have another girl I have no problems sharing.

Hey Elisee, I remember those days, just be grateful that all of those crazy people will transfer their desire to touch your tummy to wanting to pinch Addies cheeks! Oh life, you just gotta love it!
I understand the waiting longer then 9 months more then anyone. We adopted both of our children and from the time we put our papers in until we got our babies was exactly 14 months for both. That is a very long pregnancy. It isnt fair that some of us have those longer pregnancies. When you have little addie you will wonder where the time went. Bizarre that while we are waiting it is like time stand stills. Congratulations!
Don't worry about complaining you have a right to. I remember strangers always touching my tummy and it was really awkward. Oh well I guess it happens to all of us! We will keep baby Addie in our prayers!
