Has the baby dropped??

Yesterday (for the record that's June 2nd) I experienced what I can only describe as a frequent urge to pee. I went 3 times in 20 minutes. Every time I stood up, I felt an immense pressure on my bladder, and a lot of lower abdominal discomfort. In addition, I can now more easily take a full breath. Could this be the "lightening" that they talk about? or am I just imagining it because I so desperately want this to be over?

Brian thinks my shape has changed. Everywhere I go people comment on how "high" I'm carrying. And it honestly does look like he's all up in my ribs (and feels like it, too). But yesterday, the bump looked a little less prominent at the top. If he has descended then that means it's not long until The Kid makes his grand entrance into the world (and thankfully, his exit from me). Lightening usually happens between 3 weeks and 2 days before labour starts, according to my sources. So if that's true, maybe he'll be early.

I have mixed feelings about that because I really would like to have him on 4th of July. But on the other hand, I really want the infestation to be done!

Another really freaky thing is that you can now see a foot or an arm moving around and can pretty much distinguish what it is just by observing my stomach when it happens. It's the weirdest looking thing, and I can't even describe how it feels other than "creepy".

In other news, Brian and I tried out Kona Grill last night. I went there for lunch a few days ago and tried their sushi (cooked, of course). I don't recommend their sushi. In fact it was about grocery store quality. I do like the ambiance in the place, though. And the service has been awesome both times I've been there. Brian had the Pad Thai last night and it was really good. I had the Pork Tenderloins. It came with white cheddar mashed potatoes and a shitake mushroom sauce. Delicious. So I can certainly recommend either of those two dishes. When I went for lunch, Dana had the Macadamia crusted chicken and it was extremely tasty. So that's 3 dishes I'd definitely go back for.
