Counting down the minutes!
Posted on January 15th, 2009.Once again here I am finding myself needing to apologize for not blogging for a month! Wow, life got a bit crazy with the holidays, Ayden’s birthday and recovering from our trip to Alaska. Now we are in count down mode trying to get everything ready for our new baby girl to come join us. And I must be honest and say that I just haven’t felt like blogging. I was trying to think of something really interesting to write about but since I couldn’t I thought I’d make a list of what I do “feel” like (since it’s not blogging).
-I feel claustrophobic in my own body. That’s right I’m feeling crowded in my own skin and sometimes I almost have a panic attack about it!
-I feel like a Weeble Wobble! Except that I might fall down!
-I feel like I can’t breathe which then leads back to feeling claustrophobic again!
-I feel like everything I eat makes me have heartburn.
-I feel so not fun to be around!
-I feel sorry for my husband and children!
-I feel like my ankles and feet will explode by the end of every day and that they resemble those of an albino elephant!
-I feel like I’m not going to make it four more minutes much less four more weeks!
-I feel like a beached whale!
-I feel like crap but I still want to paint my kitchen!
Ok, well now that I’ve gotten all of that out I FEEL much better. And I do apologize for such a negative post. Just being honest. And it’s ok if you don’t want to be around me for the next four weeks. Honestly, I try to avoid most of you during the last four weeks of your pregnancies! And for all of you that have had babies that don’t know what I’m talking about. . . well, then, I don’t like you. Well, at least for now. I’ll like you again later!
I must end by saying that I would do it all over again (enduring the pain that is) in a heartbeat just to get the amazing reward of a healthy baby in the end! Which by the way, NO, we won’t be doing it all over again. . . trust me, there is a doctor out there with a pair of scissors with my husband’s name on it! And now I am publicly apologizing for embarrassing my husband (but it is true)! We are ecstatic to meet our little girl and I do tell myself about every three minutes that the end is in sight and it is well worth the temporary torture. Thanks for being my free counseling service!
P.S. I am humbling myself way way down there to share with you these most disgusting photos that my boys took of my feet. I am planning on getting a pedicure really soon by the way! And I must add that I normally have bird legs and feet with my ankle bones protruding from my skin so for me these are some huge nasty legs and feet! Notice in the last photo that the left foot is twice the size of the right. I’m such a freak of nature!

Okay so that is exactly what i needed to encourage me to WAIT about having another. Oh those last 6 weeks are H-E-L-L-O riffic!! I empathize and sympathize and agree, it is torture and so worth it. Hang in there. Stay away from people. The end is in sight. So sad I am missing your shower because I am totally celebrating with you but I am doing my first 10K that day and cannot back out of it. I will be there in spirit and be shopping for pink regardless.
Your so funny!! And yes, the cook book is awesome! If I can cook them anyone can. What I like about it is that they are simple and not too many ingredient (sp?) but not so simple that they are bland. I have made a few that taste like they are from a gourmet kitchen. You should try it.
I hope you FEEL better soon! I hope you have your baby girl soon!!
Question…did you notice one of your boys in the background of the first picture…Can we say hello big boy underwear? (am I seeing that right)
