I am definitely feeling fully hormonal now. Yesterday I started laughing really hard at something and ended up crying because it hurts, whatever is left of my abdominal muscles, to laugh. I wasn't actually crying because it hurt, but because it made me so sad that I can't even comfortably laugh anymore. Nor can I comfortably tie my own shoes, pick anything up off the ground, roll over in bed, etc. I'm pretty much a basket case.
Oh and FYI never, never call a pregnant women at the end of her pregnancy to find out if she has had the baby yet. This is really annoying to her because she doesn't need to be reminded that it hasn't happened. Someone will let you know when the baby comes, if you asked to be told. Your curiosity is not important in this situation!! Did I mention that I'm feeling hormonal?
This is my first week that I'm not working. I have a feeling that, if I don't go into labor, I'm going to be pretty bored. It would be nice to have the time off if I was physically capable of doing some projects around the house, but I'm basically only capable of sitting on the coach.
I have started to pack up my maternity clothes. I don't know if this happens to all pregnant women, but I never want to see any of these clothes again (unless they are on one my pregnant friends). It's going to be so wonderful to wear real clothes again.
And to be able to shop in real stores will be amazing. We actually got an Anthropologie while I've been pregnant. I haven't even stepped foot into it yet. Once I get back to my normal size, I'm treating myself to a trip out there. Hopefully it won't be long since I was fortunate enough for my weight gain to only be about 16 lbs so far. I wonder what that will mean for post pregnancy weight loss.
Hopefully my next post will be about Ellie Kate's birth......we'll see.
