Yesterday, several people commented at how big I had gotten since last week (still haven't gained a pound in 6 WEEKS!) but I know I am bigger. I think the careful eating and belly growth has balanced out evenly. Two people even said they thought I had dropped. Is it possible to have already dropped? I don't really notice any changes. Well, there is one change: I am leaking colostrum. It's just a little bit, but enough to let me know the darn things work. :-) I don't know why, but it really hit me-- I'm going to have a baby to nurse.
Guess what? This morning, as I was driving to work, I noticed a fairly nasty accident up ahead. One lane was closed, so as I waited for the policeman to wave me past, I noticed that one of the cars was my co-worker's. He is on my team at school (there are only 6 of us). He is ok, but still . . . two of us in one week's time. Freaky! There were many accidents this morning because of the rain and it kind of made me nervous. I am driving a bigger vehicle though for my rental-- a 2006 Jeep Liberty.
We are still working on settling the car stuff. The medical stuff will most likely drag on for a year according to my lawyer. We are hoping to have a new car for me by the weekend!
Posted by Hannah at February 23, 2006 01:24 PMSince I dont know your lawyer, I just want to reitterate that its not about covering your current medical expenses because of the accident, its about covering possible future ones for you and the baby. Think chiropractors visits, physical therapy for your hand (possibly)etc. So, I hope he is thinking big. ( again, its not greedy its just covering all the what ifs.
We have a 2002 Jeep Liberty! When the baby is born, I get to drive it and my husband will drive my little 2 door honda civic! Yeah!!!

Posted by: Laura at February 23, 2006 05:01 PMSome people have also told me that the baby has dropped. I think I'd know though, so I think it's just that I was carrying low to begin with and I've gotten a lot bigger.
It's too bad to hear about your coworker, but at least he's OK.
Posted by: Chas at February 23, 2006 07:35 PMDoes it *feel* like you've dropped? You could have, by now. Does your little girl feel really low? That's great about your boobies working, LOL! :) I never leaked any during my pregnancy ~ I thought that I would have! We have a 2005 Toyota Matrix and LOVE it ~ it fits Lucas's stroller so nicely and has SO much room. I highly recommend them. :)
Posted by: Lisanne at February 23, 2006 07:44 PMOh, and happy 33 weeks today! Man, I *so* remember the day that I looked at our baby countdown clock in our bedroom and saw that there were only 40 days. That seemed like a LONG time, but it wasn't at all!!! hehe :)
Posted by: Lisanne at February 23, 2006 09:51 PMHow weird and kinda upsetting that two of you had an accident in one week!! Yip, those babies work and you will be nursing soon :) it's such a special relationship - the nursing relationship
