today i am 35 weeks pregnant. i am uncomfortable, exhausted, and my whole body aches. i am ready to have this baby...and i still have 5 weeks to go...and that is just until the due date. for all i know, i could go well past may 30th...or before. who knows.
i am enjoying my time off. i read a lot, run errands, bake, and try to make something good for dinner now and then. i am not the most ambitious cook, but i can put a meal together, i suppose! this friday night brett and i are going to a byerly's cooking class. Hopefully that will give me some ideas on new things to make. saturday night some friends are hosting a baby shower for me. i am excited about that. it will be different being on the receiving end of a shower/gifts as i am used to being the one co-hosting or giving other people baby gifts. it is an exciting time.
my sister gets married may 14th. i have had fun attending a couple showers for her and going along to st. paul to pick up her wedding dress. i am also thankful for the distraction from pregnancy! on may 2nd, i am going to the tailor and having my maternity bridesmaid dress fitting. i am having image issues as it is (not just related to wearing the bridesmaid dress). even though i am not overeating, i feel like i am getting wider and wider. it's so discouraging to feel like a big fat whale.
i think it's time for a nap! sorry for the boring posts of late. my brain is so all-over-the-map right now.
That last month is so hard! Hang in there! I made the mistake of assuming I'd go early, and that just made it worse when I went three days late with Rae. Set yourself up for going all the way to your due date or beyond and you won't feel so disappointed! :)
