I'm starting week 37 today and can't believe I've made it so far (while Turkish salesmen seem to know: he'll be here tomorrow! Everytime they see me...). I feel pretty great due to a lot of distraction (I've been painting kitchen cabinets all week), acupuncture (it's done miracles!) and the support of my dear friends. I'm still sleeping okay most of the time, though interrupted by pee-pee breaks every 30 - 120 minutes, I am still eating healthy (though mini-me is demanding more and more sugar lately and performing belly dances once I give in) and my weight gain is *remarkable* but manageable.

I wouldn't say I'm really nervous, but quite excited in a good way. I'm using my surprising energy for victims of procrastination (like cleaning, my taxes, old photos I've never looked at, invoices I haven't sent out...) and lots of ubahn riding (this is my 9 months maternity photography project, so stay tuned).

Apparently today they really started with the remaining work in our new apartment (bedroom floors, wall painting), so I'm full of optimism and expectations. And this also means we'll be able to move in soon.

Life is good to me these days. What else is there to say.
