Crazy Little Thing Called Life

I thought about sitting down and blogging yesterday, and instead spent most of the day lounging around angrily. My girls were entertaining themselves so well that they really didn't need me to do much with them except make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So I kind of walked around in a haze acting like I had something to do when really all I had was sitting in front of the computer staring at Pinterest or reading a book I have read a hundred times before. Actually, I should also add that a good portion of my day was spent crying over a hospital policy I don't agree with. :(

Today I've been feeling...Heavy. It sounds weird to say that. However, that's the only word I can think of to describe it. My tummy feels heavy today, and the rest of my body is protesting the whole "getting up and walking" thing. I wish I could tell how big Little Man is in there, because some days it's like he's hiding and must be tiny and minuscule, and then other times it's like "BAM. All Baby".

I am definitely glad to be so close to the end. I have a week and a half til my due date. Sounds weird to say that, but it's true. I am pretty sure that two weeks from now I will have a baby here in my home. It's going to be odd adjusting to having three Monsters. 

For as lazy as I was yesterday, I did spend quite a few moments enjoying my daughters and how...grown they are. Watching them play together is sometimes my only source of entertainment. They really do have active imaginations and I'm so jealous of their age. They get to be other people, live in castles and fly to the moon just about every day. They build forts out of couch cushions and play "house" under the kitchen table. Their stuffed bears are their "babies" and they get to have the easy mommy life that consists of just brushing their baby's hair. Ah to be young and have such an active imagination. 

Today I'm on baby watch for one of the girls on my Mommy Board. It's so exciting when one of "our own" has a baby. But I will admit, it's hard being one of the ones due at the end of the month. Seeing all the squishy cheeks and knowing I have to keep on waiting is excruciating. But really, when I think about this group of women that I don't know but interact with every day, well, it's actually kind of heart warming. It's so nice to have someone else to talk to who is going through the exact same thing. Not someone who is three months ahead of you and thinks they know more about your body than you do, but someone who is physically still suffering from pregnant hormones, labor pains, and heartburn. I don't know what I would do without this board of strangers that I've grown so close to. 

Alas, I think I'm going to go do some more Pinterest-ing.
