May 17, 2000

I can't believe that this pregnancy is almost over. It seems as if it just began. I am now 31 weeks and basically feeling as lousy as I have been. My morning sickness has really come back with a vegence this week... who knew it could last this long?

DS and I went to the zoo today and ended up spending the whole day there. I had only intended to spend the morning there, but he was having such a good time that we stayed much longer. I think that I really overdid it because I am extremely exhausted. DS got a slight sunburn on his face too, I guess I have to get back into the habit of applying sunscreen again. The weather has been so weird here, one day it is extremely cold and rainy... the next it is sunny and hot. I never know how to dress!

It is DS's birthday tomorrow and he will be two! I am having a small party at his "Me and My Toddler" class with Thomas the Tank Engine as the theme. On Sunday we are having friends come over for a bigger Blue's Clue's party. He should be really excited! I am excited... maybe more than him!

Not much has changed with the BF. The only real change lately is that my nipples have become huge and blue veins and bulging out of my breasts. The only bra that I have found to be comfortable at this point is the Bravado Bra because it is more like a sports bra and does not have cups or a band size. Of course I take the largest size available right now (XL++) and I don't even want to imagine what my actual bra size is. Before DS was born it was a 36D... I know I am MUCH BIGGER than that now!

Love,
Ketherine
