Updates.
I GRADUATED!!! That's right, I am an official college graduate and never have to go back to school again. I never thought I'd make it. Feelin pretty darn goooood.
The baby room is nearly complete! I am working on my last project (a side table to go next to my glider) and then it is finished. I'm dying to take pictures to show everyone but I want to wait until I have all the finishing touches. The table should be done by tomorrow so hopefully sometime this week I'll have some pictures up.
We are now at 35 1/2 weeks! I can't believe it! Just over a month to go and it can't come fast enough. I'm done with this whole 'being pregnant' thing and ready to meet the little girl that's been kicking me for the past 4 months. I can't wait to see her in person! What she looks like, her tiny fingers and toes, her hair or lack thereof, her tiny baby bum.. everything. The excitement just keeps building and it's going to be a miracle if I don't explode before she arrives.
Also, this is a conversation that I had with someone last week.. and I've had several others very similar to it.. and I'm going to snap at the next person that says this to me. It went something like this, "You're looking great! How are you feeling?" and I respond, "Pretty good! I'm really tired and excited to be done with the pregnancy so we can just meet her already!" and their response, "Well get used to be tired because you won't sleep for the next 18 years!" REALLY? I'm telling you how excited I am to be a mom and that's your response? EVERYONE knows you don't get much sleep with a baby. It's not a new concept. I don't need the negative reminders of how hard it's going to be or your little "just you wait" jokes. I KNOW it's going to be the hardest thing I've ever had to do and that there's no way to fully comprehend it, but I'm excited beyond belief for every minute of it! Couldn't you say something like, "You're going to have so much fun being a mom!" I'd even be fine with, "The tired thing isn't going to go away after the baby arrives, but it sure is worth it!" Come on, people. Try to be a little more uplifting instead of trying to scare me. This also goes for all those women who think it's okay to tell me how horrible labor is. Or tell me the very worst birth story they ever heard about a friend of a friend of your 2nd cousin. Just keep it to yourself.
Whew, just needed to get that out of my system. Another post coming soon with pics of the nursery!
