I went back to work on Wednesday. Thanks to everyone who called to check on me. I am feeling better. My big dilemma now is trying to decide when to start maternity. Originally I though I would work until the end. When I realized pregnancy is not all sundresses, bare feet and lemonade, I moved it to 38 weeks. A couple of weeks ago I thought 37 sounded more feasible. Now I'm not completely sure I'll be in tomorrow. Waddling around a hot kitchen constantly asking for help and taking breaks on milk crates is not my idea of a good time. We are seeing Dr. Ross on Tuesday so I'll ask her advice on the subject. Then I'll ask her for a note saying I can't return to work. We are also having an ultrasound done on Tuesday. Hopefully he is in the right position and not big enough to do too much damage :).
As for me, I am big and uncomfortable all of the time. Everything seems like a monstrous task. Little things like getting in the car and walking to and from the parking lot at work (stairs) are becoming difficult. And nothing fits me anymore. I now wear Evan's t-shirts to work, he says I look like I'm in my pajamas, I say I could give two shits.
I bought a couple of mother goose items online and they came in last week:
You are almost there--I cant believe it! It feels like yesterday that I came home from the hospital with Finn and you called me to tell me you're pregnant! Time flies, especially AFTER the baby! I hated when people told me this, but enjoy you and Evan now, take time for eachother and get some rest if you can. I hope you dont have to go back to work soon! =)
