Less than 20 Days!!!




I feel as though I haven't been one of those "crazy" pregnant women who have a lot of mood swings or who are super moody. I will admit sometimes I am a bit irrational (as Ryan would say), but over all I don't think I have been bad. However, these last couple of weeks have been rough. I find myself getting super annoyed with little things. My boss (the dynamics of my relationship with him would take days to explain so just bare with me) has been complaining to me about how he is so tired. He has been doing this for about a week and it is really getting old so yesterday I finally told him that I have zero sympathy for him. I explained that I haven't slept more than 4 hours through the night in months and I really don't want to hear that he is tired. plus I have a child in me that is sucking the life out of me! Ahhh it felt nice to tell him that.

While I am venting....

I remember asking my good friend Micaela is she had "popped" yet when she was pregnant with Alana. I want to emphasis that she is a good friend and I think I maybe asked her that once. I have this feeling that the next random person who asks me that might regret it. I think it is so rude! One, I hardly know you. two, pregnant women don't pop. We give birth. Three, are you an idiot? You are really asking a 9 month pregnant women whom you don't have a close relationship with or even know for that matter if she is about to pop???

This has been happening to me a lot lately. People I have met a couple of times, random people at the grocery store, Friend of friends. I just smile and say nope.... but I am thinking not so nice thoughts in my head.

I think the lack of sleep, being uncomfortable, frustrated because Poindextress isn't in the right position is all catching up with me. It is getting harder and harder to go to work. I obviously have a lot of anxiety. One really good thing that I am SOOO happy Ryan and I decided to do was take a newborn child care class. The first class was on Tuesday and the last one is on this coming Tuesday It is 6 hours total. It was really helpful. They go over all sorts of information on caring for a newborn. This last week we learned about sleeping and eating, we also learned how to swaddle the baby, and she told us things that I would have NEVER thought of. It is nice to have realistic expectations of what to expect. I think this class is going to prepare us as much as one can be prepared.

AMEN--to your vent about your obnoxious boss and RUDE people. When I was pregnant, people would always say crap like "WOW! You're really **showing**" DUH you freaking idiot. I'm a week away of potentially having a nearly 8 lb child spring from my loins!! (hypothetically, really he came out the trap door....). It feels so good to vent.

So anyway, are you about to pop or what???

Swaddling was a life-saver for us! Sorry I have to miss your shower - I'm doing a 5k in the morning and going to the Royals game in the evening (actually I believe with your Dad and Dee). I was hoping to see you and give that little belly a rub (just kidding!). Hope you have fun and don't get too many more comments from people over the next few weeks.
