Over it.

I will warn you before you read any further that there is some whining in this post -- proceed with caution. 

I am over being pregnant now.  She can come any day now.  My lower back is KILLING ME.  My face is completely broken out which, combined with the fact that I am the size of a barn is making me feel SUPER attractive. 

My stomach is a mess from being squished.  My feet, hands, ankles, and face are all swollen at the end of the day.  I experience cankles for the first time the other day.  Getting up and down off of the couch or leaning over to pick something off of the floor are both tasks that have become WAY harder than I ever imagined.  Overall, I am miserable and ready to be done with this. 

I know, I know.  I can't complain too much since until the end, it has been a really easy and uneventful pregnancy.  But since about week 34 I have slowly gotten more and more uncomfortable and now it has reached its peak.  I kind of want to cry -- okay, not gonna lie, there have been some tears the last couple of days. 

Don't get me wrong, I am happy she is still growing and taking all the time she needs to cook.  I just wish her growing didn't make me so miserable.  Not much I can do but suck it up.  But sometimes a girl's gotta whine a little -- KWIM?

END OF WHINING -- It is safe to proceed now. 

Other than being physically miserable things are going really great.  We had the most amazing baby shower at my husband's office on Friday and were so overwhelmed by how amazingly generous everyone was.  We got so much stuff!  We really have EVERYTHING we need for this baby to make her arrival. 

Over the weekend I washed everything and put everything away.  I also finished packing my hospital bag and feel like I am ready for her to make her arrival.  It feels good to have nothing else left on my "to-do" list. 

My husband continues to be amazing.  Saturday he took me to see The Grinch the musical and to a great lunch afterwards.  Of course, I feel like the Grinch and I have similar dispositions these days so I could totally relate to him.

The hubs also is being so sweet and helping me with everything.  He puts my socks on, he makes me dinner, and lets me have my freak outs without judgment. 

I purchased a small point and shoot camera that has wifi connections to take with us to the hospital.  We usually take pictures on our phones but we both sometimes run into storage issues and I was worried that of course at the hospital is when we would get warnings on our phones that we can't take any more pictures because our phones are full.  So, to head this off, I found a decently priced digital point and shoot camera.  AND it has WIFI so you can share pictures to FB or via email straight from the camera! 

Well, it arrived on Friday and when I turned it on it had a major defect.  The screen was all messed up and wouldn't take pictures.  I was so bummed.  Of course, I ordered it online so to return it I had to contact the company who sent me a shipping label.  Now I ship it back, they take "up to 8 days to process" the return and then send me a new one or give me my money back.  I was worried that going through this whole process would result in the new camera arriving AFTER the baby gets here. 

The hubs was so sweet and could see how bummed I was so he found a camera we both liked even better and went ahead and ordered it with expedited shipping so it will be here this week.  Then we are sending the defective one back and just processing it as a return. 

It sounds crazy, but little things like that just make me love him even more.  <3

OB appointment is tomorrow for our first cervix check!  Other than that nothing exciting going on.  Just continuing to wait. 

And, if you read this whole thing you totally deserve a cookie -- or some cake -- or brownies.  mmmmmm, brownies.
