That's how I feel, too tired to keep up. I'm nearly 31 weeks along, and the idea that the baby could be here in less than 10 weeks is daunting to say the least. However I find it hard to concentrate on the long term effects of this pregnancy because I'm so caught up in the now. Right NOW I'm tired, right NOW I'm hungry (for nothing in the house, usually lol) right NOW I'm sore from being kicked all day long. Baby apparently inherited her father's prowess and enjoyment in fighting. That or she is trying to stretch out her ever shrinking place of residence...
Its hard to believe its already the end of March! With April comes hotter weather, Easter, and my church's baby shower - all the little old ladies decided to throw one for me, which is adorable. I'm so thankful we found a little home there, even if its not exactly what we are looking for in terms of a church.
I'm starting to look into options after the babe is born: will I go back to work? Can we afford for me not to? Can we afford me to? Daycare is insanely expensive; but who wants to trust their infant with some stranger? Will I be dying to stay longer with her instead of going back to work, or will I be dying to get out of the house and have a life again? I can't make decisions now, but I've heard there are months of waiting lists at most of these places that are halfway decent.
I'm also very large and very not large. My pictures are deceiving, there is a lot of belly on the side, but its still this little narrow bump that refuses to show itself from the front or back. It causes me confusion and grief, as people around me say I barely look pregnant, and sometimes I even barely FEEL pregnant, and then I'll take a picture and nearly faint from realization that, holy cow, yes I am very much so! Other times I feel enormous.
Enough about babies. Forgive us for the lack of information, but our lives aren't really interesting enough yet to post regularly, unless you want to hear about how I have cleaned the house today, or how Rob went to work another 14 hour day. We washed the car last weekend, went to church, ran some errands...very little separates the day-to-day routine. When the babe gets here I promise to update much more often, because after the initial period where she does the same boring things as well, I'm sure there will be much more to tell. Until then, I'll just post pictures of her all the time.
Our guest bedroom is up and running, its not winter here, and in 2 months there will be a baby that you can pretend is yours until you don't want it anymore. Come visit!
