confused...

see, I thought it was the first trimester that you were supposed to be sick? not the last 3 weeks!

For the past few days I've been feeling...iffy (for lack of a better word). My "lower" stomach feels like it does when I am about to get my period (which I haven't had since March!). Where normally I want to eat everything I see, I have no appetite and just want to drink water and diet coke...that's it. Nothing else.

I want to go home, but I have too much shit that needs to get done before I go out on maternity leave. I am hoping my dr tells me this Thursday "yeah, I am going to take you out of work as of tomorrow" but I know that is too much to hope for. My pregnancy has pretty much been textbook - no problems at all (a visit to the emergency room and one fall back in September...that's it).

I can dream though, right???

I wish Ron was working more so that we could afford for me to be off for longer. I can use up most of my vacation, but would rather not. I know if I "work from home" I am going to have to be available by email and we don't have internet access at the house, so I would have to go to the library for a certain portion of the day...oy.

I will stop complaining. I know people have had harder pregnancies than me and I should be grateful - and I am! Patrick has been healthy at every visit, no major problems or anything (except for the kicking in the ribs he is giving me right now!) I guess I am just tired...I really want a day to sleep all day long...

Yeah, you're totally in pre-labor...but don't get your hopes up, pre-labor can go on for weeks (5 weeks in Will's case!). I can't wait for Patrick's arrival. Take it as easy as you can, I know these last few weeks are tough. Love ya!

that's what I thought - and I am totally not getting my hopes up :) Everyone tells me "OH! A Christmas baby!" and I smile and nod a lot. I don't want to pin my hopes on him coming early then him not showing up until 2 weeks later.

I'm just tired - and from what I hear, it doesn't get any better...thats why I wish Ron was working more so I could take more time off to rest. I hate money!

Will is GORGEOUS, btw :) And I know he was getting fussy cuz the Pats really did suck wind that day.
