I can't breathe. She is taking up a lot of room in there. Space occupying baby in my belly. It is such a weird idea to have another life inside of you. It feels a little bit like Alien... it is after all, one of my all time favorite movies.
I know, I know. A little dramatic, but it kind of really is like that! Except, I know the baby isn't going to rip up my abdominal wall and come out that way (I think). She has a mind of her own and she moves when she wants to, not when I want her to. She decides these things. It's mind boggling to me when I think about it.
In work news, I am losing my work bestie. It is very sad because she has been there since the beginning and I rely on her for advice and support. She is one of the most confident people I know. Knowing her gives me confidence and I am the veterinarian I am today in part due to her. I will miss her terribly. I told her that it feels like I am back in high school and my boyfriend is breaking up with me. Silly I know. And now that she will be leaving, other than our medical director, I will be the veterinarian that has been there the longest. It's a scary thought.
Baby girl will be due January 29th... ciao for now.
