way behind on my blogging

wow, can't believe it's getting to the end of February already. A lot has happened in the last 2 weeks, i'll try to write about it all -- our trip to Marseille, Paris, baby shower... also need to update my belly photo-shoot. (that blue shirt i was wearing a couple of posts ago is too small now)

but starting from the end, in those 2 weeks our family gained -9 lbs (yes, minus 9). the baby and i gained 1 lb (about 1/2 kg), and ben lost 10 to lack of exercise, walking super slow because of me, and trying to keep warm while doing that.

the good news, is that i'm wearing my pre-pregnancy pants (they're very low-cut so they fit under my belly -- and yeah, my butt didn't get any bigger in the last 6 months, hurray!)

the bad news, is that i'm not sleeping very well. could be jet-lag leftovers, or just some random pregnancy symptom - i wake up in the middle of the night (to pee, duh) and then can't fall asleep again. i'm comfortable enough, i'm tired enough, but still can't fall asleep.
it's kinda ridiculous that i actually can't wait to have a screaming baby at home just so that i can finally get some sleep :P

reserved parking!

who said being pregnant doesn't have perks?

scrooge likes those packages too!

:D

yayy!

the little hugs you send us between all the wonderful gifts from israel make us very happy :)

prenatal yoga

i ordered a prenatal yoga dvd and it arrived yesterday. i didn't try it yet, just watched the introduction chapter.

the exercises are tailored to different stages in the pregnancy:
depending on your trimester, you have to follow a different model.
-- i particularly liked the fact that while the 1st and 2nd trimester models were doing squats and such, the 3rd trimester model was sitting on a chair :P lucky me!

the visitors' map is resetting once a year. frankly, i'm pretty sure that most of those hits are from autobots of search engines... except some dots in israel, the us and germany :)

28 weeks

last night ben put his ear on my belly and was able to hear the baby's heartbeat.
whoa!!!

on other related news, i didn't have a full night sleep in the last 2 weeks. i wonder if i'll sleep again before 2012.
