(no subject)
today is the first day where i've consciously wished i could have a break. i've had a stuffy nose for three or four weeks - at this point i have no idea if it's cold/allergy related or pregnancy related, but it's getting pretty old either way. my feet and ankles have been swollen for days, so much so that some of my shoes barely fit and most of them don't fit at all. even the smallest physical tasks seem to be difficult and leave me totally out of breath and i'm having a terrible time getting comfortable, no matter how i am sitting or laying down. my trips to the bathroom seem endless, and even as i am pulling my pants up i feel like if i sat back down i could already pee again. to top it all off, i've finally developed some stretch marks - as if i didn't feel unattractive enough already. of course, my husband probably wishes he could have a break too. he is remarkably tolerant of my moodiness, my increasing fussiness, my increasing requests for him to do things for me, and the increasing frequency with which he has to sleep on the couch to get any rest at all while i snore like a freight train in our bedroom.
for some reason, this weekend just left me completely exhausted. yesterday was my baby shower. evan drove me over to my parents house around 1. he and my dad left to work on the cradle, and i mostly sat around while my mom, krystle and leigh ann finished getting everything ready. people starting coming over around 2. there was a lot of eating, some games, and a TON of presents. it was a really nice, low-key baby shower but somehow i was completely exhausted by the time we got home around 6:30. we went bowling this morning, and then ran some errands. i think maybe i did too much this weekend. i have to realize that i am 8 months pregnant and i can't carry on with the same routine i've always had!
i can't believe it's been a month since the last time i posted. in just about another month, the baby will be here. i had my first pelvic exam at the doctor's last week and he said the baby is really low but i haven't progressed at all yet. i'll be going weekly now until the baby comes. i don't think we have too much left to do, but i'll feel better if i make a list.
it was one year ago today that we had to put miles davis down. i still miss you, little wiener.
