Thud has started to put up pictures of our new place in Blacksburg. You can see how sometimes I feel like I’ve woken up in a Ben & Jerry’s commercial.
I haven’t been spending much time in front of the computer since we moved – generally, it’s gotten uncomfortable to sit in a desk chair for long. I’m not sure what I would be doing if I were still trying to work right now. I don’t want to think about it, really.
The baby gets bigger and more wiggly every day. Now he is big enough that he occasionally picks a position or stretches out in a way that bangs up against my ribs. Sitting straighter helps a little, but only until my belly starts to get sore from the weight pulling straight down instead of more at an angle into my butt. Also, my heartburn has gotten bad enough that I usually spend at least part of the night propped up on pillows. Sure, I can drink milk or eat Tums too, and that helps, but when it’s really bad that’s sort of like trying to soak up the Exxon spill with a dishmop. I just have to try to keep it from getting worse instead.
