the swamps of sadness

ok, so not really of sadness, but of wo, i've had so much freelance work come my way lately! i applied to a translation company last week, took a test on friday, and starting monday have gotten a flurry of requests from them to do proofreading and translation. i'm not complaining at all; i like proofreading, especially, but it will just take some getting used to in terms of having a ton of work to do versus a lot of free time. i should've enjoyed the first couple of weeks in january more! :)

now i'm about to embark on the joyous quest of invoicing. yay! billing clients is one of the necessary evils of freelancing, but that doesn't mean i have to like it! :) guess you have to do it if ya wanna get paid.

had my checkup yesterday; things are going well. jenna's healthy (and starting to kick me in not-so-comfortable places), and I measured right at 30 weeks, which is where i should be, since i hit 31 weeks on thursday. the doctor showed me how to feel where the top of the uterus is, which was not a pleasant sensation (imagining digging and pressing on an already sensitive area), but cool nonetheless.

as of a couple of days ago, i'm finding it hard to sleep, b/c jenna can reach further and further up and also to the sides. it's increasingly difficult to find a comfortable position. haha, lil' baby, you've only got a little bit until you're too big to move around anymore, so enjoy it while you can! :)

i went for a short walk today, and man...suffice it to say that i am not as limber as i used to be. i had to force myself to slow down, so that my pregnant body didn't die! ah, the (back)aches and pains of being prego! :)
