I think I've gained about 15 pounds so far but feel absolutely huge. I'm sure I waddle when I walk and I'm definitely slower. The baby was moving around a lot for awhile but lately has slowed down and only kicks early in the morning and sometimes at night - not very often during the day. 110 days to go. It's getting hard to be patient! I just want to hold my baby!<br /> Zach's been sick with a cold and i've banished him to the tv room for sleeping - it's so much more comfortable having our bed to myself... with my body pillow and the way I have to stretch out to sleep I take up 3/4 of the bed.<br /> I've been doing my census training in Vanscoy the past couple days. It's definitely more work than I was expecting but hopefully all goes well and I do things right. I'll start delivering forms to farms on Monday.<br /> Other than that not much else is going on... the weather has been wonderful and once I'm done with census stuff I can start some yard work. Our yard is pretty bad right now. My lillies are coming up though much to my surprise. The yard was pretty neglected when we bought the house and I didn't have the energy to work on it last year so am surprised that anything has survived. Someday it will look nice...<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> </p> </div> <p class="post-footer"> <em>posted by Dana @ <a href="http://dsperkins.blogspot.com/2006/04/i-feel-huge.html" title="permanent link">4:41 PM</a></em> <a class="comment-link" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/21303677/114618195456711299" onclick="window.open('https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/21303677/114618195456711299', 'bloggerPopup', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=1,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=400,height=450');return false;">1 comments</a> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1319206206"><a style="border:none;" href="https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=21303677&postID=114618195456711299&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" height="18" width="18"></a></span> </p> </div>   <div id="comments"> <a name="comments"></a> <h4>1 Comments:</h4> <dl id="comments-block"> <dt class="comment-data" id="c114659085500861128"><a name="c114659085500861128"></a> At <a href="#c114659085500861128" title="comment permalink">10:27 AM</a>, <span style="line-height:16px" class="comment-icon blogger-comment-icon"><img src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" alt="Blogger" style="display:inline;" /></span> <a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/14156647060465041197" rel="nofollow">karina</a> said... </dt> <dd class="comment-body"> <p>How did your first day of census delivery go?
