Buying maternity clothes was:
Absolutely glorious! My birthday present from Alan was a day alone to shop at leisure (what's that? I've forgotten). My old maternity clothes were mostly dress up work-related, so I treated myself to some casual spring/summer wear. The only thing I still dread is finding a swimsuit for vacation. Swimsuit shopping NOT pregnant is awful and a real moral-killer, so I just couldn't bring myself to ruin a perfect shopping day by attempting to look for maternity suits.

The biggest change in my body has been:
I assume this question is seeking a less obvious answer than "my expanding belly"? ;)

My favorite change in my body has been:
Bigger boobs, of course!

What I never thought would change was:
My motivation to choose a name for the baby. It seemed really important in the beginning of the pregnancy to have at least one of each gender name, but since so much else is going on in our lives with the move and being daily busy, choosing a name has fallen off the priority list for now. Hopefully we'll find time to pick one before the end ... I don't want to have to use a phone book after the birth! =P

At this month's prenatal visit I learned that:
The baby has a consistently strong, fast heartbeat in the high 150's (indicative of a girl if you believe folklore, which I don't). I had some white blood cells in my urine sample, perhaps indicative of a urinary tract infection so the midwife is sending it off to the lab for analysis. My blood pressure was fantastic, I'm gaining weight right on curve, and my fundal height is exactly on schedule (my uterus is now an inch above my belly button and the size of a soccer ball!)

My hopes:
I am still holding out hope for a home birth but the possibilities are looking bleaker since learning there are zero home birth midwives in Rochester. The nearest midwives are 75 min. away and the ones I've contacted are already booked for August and not taking new clients. =(

My fears:
Audra will be terribly jealous of the new baby and I will feel a lot of Mommy guilt having to divide my time and attention between the two.
