I Had No Idea

To all the times I have made jokes about feeling like a beached whale after eating a big meal, I say, I was just kidding. Totally joking!  I had NO IDEA what it felt like to *really* feel like a beached whale!  Dude, it was 90 here today!  IN WISCONSIN. IN MAY.  WTF.  It is more likely to be 50 than 90 here in May.

Holy shit am I hot and uncomfortable!  And I thought I had it made to be missing the hot summer months.  Joke is on me, folks!   Did I mention I'm ready to be done?!   I tried to do my same prenatal pilates DVD that I have done since the beginning today. I can no longer do it!  Belly is officially in the way. For those of you familiar with pilates, I can no longer do a "roll up". And this is the pregnancy version with 2 stacked pillows behind me.  

I bought my first baby stuff at a garage sale yesterday...found some great deals.  We got a swing that plugs in, as I've been told that is the way to go to avoid paying a shitload in battery $.  I officially recommend getting anything possible from a garage sale!

I hope you guys had a good weekend. This upcoming week is supposed to be my last week of work before maternity leave, but we shall see if that is actually the case.  He really seems to be pretty snug in there! Snuggled all up in my ribs.   GETOUTGETOUTGETOUT

No Progress, With Pics!

So I had my 38 week appt today, and it's official: my baby was a drama queen early on but has evidently decided the drama is over.  I am not dilated at all. I have nothing going on.  After all of that.  He is apparrently just chilling in there. So it wouldn't surprise me at all to be overdue and have to be induced. I have been pretty active lately walking outside and doing pilates again, and obviously that hasn't caused him to pack his bags yet. So I'm off to a wedding on Saturday that I hadn't planned on going to due to the whole hospital bedrest drama.  Now, I figure, what the hell!?  Maybe it will kick things into gear!  Nothing like trying to find a dress to wear at 9 months pregnant to a wedding you weren't planning to attend!  Dresses are SO cute at this stage.  You know, if you like the tented house look.  I don't.

Anyway!  Nursery pictures!

Also, here is an outfit I put together for work today.  Actually none of it is maternity.  Those pants are actually pajamas!!  (Shhh!) A girl has has do what she has to do at this point!

Maxed Out: 38w, 2d

So I seem to have officially hit the point in the pregnancy where I am Ready.to.be.Done.  Game over. Getoutgetoutgetout.   I am tired from not sleeping well night after night lately, and I seem to have a case of the Raging Hormones all of a sudden. Not sure what brought that on, but here it is. I guess I should feel fortunate that I haven't been plagued by the weepy moodies throughout the pregnancy, but coupled with the general end of the road uncomfortableness and aforementioned fatigue, and I suddenly feel like I have hit an emotional wall. Everything is making me cry tonight. No idea why.

 My hands still ache from the Carpal Tunnel, my feet ache and are swollen, I have some sweet hemorrhoids (I know you wanted to know that!), and I seem to get bigger every day. 

Wow, I am quite the bundle of positivity tonight!  I know you all are probably thinking "cry me a river", but man, I just needed to vent.  I should probably go hunt down an acceptable outfit for work tomorrow!  It was about 80 here today, so I feel like everything makes me feel too hot.  I just want to wear flip flops and sweats..
