Heartburn, shortness of breath, big belly...oh my!

So as far as updates go....where do we start? Well, baby "L" has been moving like a maniac! Keeping Aunty Amanda up with his break dancing parties when he should be mimis! I already told his daddies about it... My little tummy tenant can't seem to keep his parties under curfew. :) He is so cute though. Can't complain...that's the best part of pregnancy. I think it finally HIT me the other day our situation...I mean I have ALWAYS wanted to be a surrogate and help a family and this is REAL. It's so awesome! I have always thought of baby L as a person, but he is real to me now. Not just a dream or an egg or embryo. He has a name, a "voice" with his movements. He gets super excited when I eat. It's crazy. It's wonderful.

I was just telling O that some moments, I even forget that I'm pregnant..mostly because I'm not having a baby. THEY are. Which is really different...I got mad for a tiny second today, wondering how I let myself get *this* fat. LMAO...then I felt so stupid when I realized DUH I'm pregnant...LOL.

Hmmm well let's start with the WORST of my symptoms. Ok wait...can the first one be "brain loss?" I couldn't remember how to spell "symptom"...yikes. And I just threw up in my mouth a little because of all the heartburn. But I am very thankful for my super clear, young looking FACE skin. Can't say the same about my chest? Which has decided to look like a mine field with little red bumps everywhere...ummm...eeew. They aren't pimples, just bumps. Which is weird.
  
So more and more people have been noticing I'm pregnant, which is awesome...but kind of sucky that they are JUST NOW noticing. Do I look FAT? My belly certainly doesn't feel tiny... Let's share with the class...
