Well, the bag for the hospital is packed, the baby’s room is all set, the only thing left to do now is clean the house so that when Grandma comes to visit the new baby she won’t think I’m a slob! 
In case it isn’t clear from the above – I am *so* ready for this baby to COME OUT!!!
I was having fun being pregnant – well, except for the stupid people who feel like they can touch me and ask me all kinds of personal questions and give me all kinds of unwanted (and usually bizarre) advice just because I am pregnant. But, starting in the last few days, it has become…well, a pain (literally). I have forgotten what it feels like to *not* have a backache, the itching has returned (though not quite as bad as earlier this trimester), and my hips hurt so much I can sometimes barely stand up! And, of course, I haven’t been able to sleep for more than 3 hours at a time for…a long, long time. I guess that probably will only get *worse* once the baby comes, though!
While I’m in whine-mode – really the worst part about it now is the waiting. I AM BORED!!! Even though I *do* have things I *could* do, I am finding it increasingly difficult to concentrate. So reading or working is quite difficult. Mainly now I find some excuse every day to go to the mall and wander around for a while. Today, I got a manicure and pedicure – I feel certain the delivery will go much more smoothly now that my nails are perfect, and I can look down at the stirrups and see my pretty red toenails! %-)
Incidentally, I am also collecting parenting advice – as much as I can get. So, if you have kids and you have any suggestions for Craig and me, please email us. Not only will I appreciate the advice, I will *really* appreciate the social contact, now that I am supposed to be “resting” all the time. Also, if you are single and/or child-free and you have advice about things we absolutely should not forget about being footloose and fancy-free, we’re interested in that, too. We don’t want to become old foggies *too* quickly!
