Tired & Excited
All is well here (thanks Gemini Girl for checking in).....
I have just been so tired and lazy.... I am 36 weeks and 3 days pregnant today-- yowza!!!!!!
I have been feeling my giant "little" moving like crazy and loving it- the movements are just so intense, I am woken up at night when I finally do fall asleep and my stomach just moves up and down on its own, it's so cool!
My legs get really crampy at night because sleeping on my side and putting all the weight of my body on one leg makes it really painful. I bought a "wedge" pillow that helps support my huge belly so that helps a lot. But between the sore legs, stiff fingers and a disco dancing baby I sleep about 3 hours a night. Yes, I know I will be sleeping less later on ; )
Saturday it was pouring rain here in NYC and Dave and I really needed to do some important errands like pick out a take home outfit (which the store is holding for us), buy me some new sneakers, and some other stuff. Given that we live in the city, I am a walker, so sometimes I forget that my body is not the same and I totally overdid it on Saturday, plus it was raining hard, which made it harder to maneuver. Long story short, I have been so run down since then, I haven't been at work these past two days, I feel like my body just needs rest. But tomorrow I'll return and hopefully make it through the day without falling asleep at my desk.
Sunday we had a hospital tour and yes, it freaked me out. I am actually going to be giving birth in one way or another. My brain just won't accept that for some reason and I can't picture it. I want to, but it doesn't seem like it will really happen. Will it really happen?
The last stop of the tour was the nursery and there were two 7 pound babies that had been born that day. What can I say, they were so beautiful, perfect, and I wanted to take them both home- but David said we couldn't. We will have our little to take home very soon (G-d willing). We will, right?
So that's life right now. Tomorrow I have my weekly Dr. appointment with an internal exam- sooooo looking forward to that part (not).
Please G-d, continue to keep our little safe, healthy and growing strong...

Yes, it will happen. As surreal as it sounds. And you will have so much love for that baby. I remember feeling so run down- even trying to lay on my side in bed was a huge production. You will feel so relieved when the baby is out and you will be able to freely move again.
BTW- Y no belly pictures?
