My handy weekly updater tells me that Baby Ratcliff is now the size of a kumquat. Really? That's the best fruit or vegetable you could come up with? I've never even eaten a kumquat. I guess these are kumquats...
I mean, those look pretty big to me. The other fruit/vegetable ticker says that Baby Ratcliff is the size of a prune. Kids, I know what a prune looks like, and I've eaten them. That makes sense to me. I guess kumquat is more fun to say, though.
As far as Baby Ratcliff is coming along, I don't feel as terrible as I did. I'm not AS tired or AS grouchy - Derek may disagree. My bloating seems to have disappeared, and one of my coworkers said that will happen before the true belly arrives. I'm just going to enjoy wearing normal clothes for now.
Speaking of which, I ordered some maternity clothes today because Old Navy is having a crazy good sale. Some of that stuff is 9 bucks! I love it!
I guess if Baby Ratcliff continues on his citrus-y path (next week, he'll be a lime which is very exciting :D), then he'll be popping out before we know it! Then, I can wear those maternity clothes that I saved some mad cash on.
Something to think about...having baby care close by to where you work can be really convenient. Live in Richmond Hill, work in Savannah - 35+ miles door to door. Think of days when there is an unexpected traffic pile up on the way home, maybe that extra 15 minutes that you spent at the office is now going to be a really expensive overtime charge at the daycare. Also taking baby to routine doctor checkups, especially depending on where doctor is, can be more time in the car than anywhere else that day. Just some unsolicited thoughts...
