I have to remind myself that I can handle 2 more weeks as I attempt to roll out of bed while groaning and ask Ryan to give me a friendly push. Who knew pregnancy had so many ''chores.'' I sure didn't! Just getting pants on I am ready for a break. I have now worn the same sandals EVERY DAY for about 4 months and as of yesterday they are now no longer fitting. Welcome back elephantiasis it's so good to see you again, thanks for the adding to the sexy appeal of my legs which by the way I have totally given up on shaving. That's right, I'm a hairy whale, who knew.
As of next I am finally giving in and going part time in to work. Too many hormones!! Either my back and feet ache, or I'm completely annoyed by clients that are grumpy, stare downs from the Seniors for lack of my wedding ring due to sausage fingers, awkwardly standing cutting hair so the belly doesn't keep kitting the clients arms, and don't get me started on trying to lean over and wash my clients hair.
But on the upside! Many wonderful clients asking questions about my pregnancy, giving me a smile and say here's a little extra something as they tip me. Receiving a free baby swing from a complete stranger! Thank you to the sweet old orange dyed hair lady who when I told her my due date told me that I look small for how far a long I am. Lady, I could have jumped in your arms and kissed your cheeks for making me feel so happy!
Come Monday with my Moms help we will begin Mary's nursery room. Now the fun part of moving begins! So excited to decorate it, clean her clothes, find places to put teeny tiny little shoes and tights. Oh my goodness baby clothes are so stinking cute I am so excited to be having a girl. I will have way too much fun dressing her up.
It's strange how I haven't even met her yet but I love her so so much! She is so worth the heart burn, stretch marks, aches and pains, lack of sleep. (which btw totally thought that didn't start till AFTER the baby begins...yeah I know, you mothers have a smirk on your face right now and are saying 'oh just you wait')
So here's to hoping for a quick 2 weeks and looking forward to seeing my sweet lil munchkin :D
Yay! I can't wait to see pictures of her room and of her! And you know, I actually get better sleep in the first few weeks *after* the baby is born than I do in the last 8 weeks *before* the birth! That's the great thing about newborns: they sleep like cats, 16 hours a day. And since this is your first baby, you'll be able to nap whenever the baby naps if you want to.
ReplyDelete(Fitz as a baby never slept, though. If MJ never sleeps, you should totally borrow the "Happiest Baby on the Block" dvd from the library. It saved my life when Fitz was a baby.)
You can do it!!! The last few weeks are brutal.. full of no sleep and a bit of excitement/anxiety!! I can't wait for you to have Mary!! You will never know how you ever lived without her! Make sure to keep us updated when you go in.. and text me if you need ANYTHING! Love ya girly!
ReplyDeleteI had days where I would dress Haddy up in different outfits over and over again and take pictures! I can't really do that anymore though, she's too squirmy, but you can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
