When I think about it, I really shouldn't have much to complain about... I haven't thrown up once, I'm not on bed rest, I'm not swelling, I get to eat Oreos everyday and not feel guilty about it, I can still participate in physical activities and I'm able to function just as I did before (almost) on a regular daily basis... but my hips hurt and my back aches and it feels like someone punched me right on the pubic bone and I have a basketball under my shirt wherever I go, I have to pee at least 4 times a night, I need naps but if I take too long of a nap I can't fall asleep at night, I miss my old wardrobe, I miss intense workouts, I miss being able to reach my toes and tie my shoes. And I'm pretty sure Jake misses going a whole day without me getting emotional over something. Jake, if you are reading this... you have been a trooper, but I like to think, so have I.
But it'll be worth it... right??
We've made it to the 5 week countdown (yipee!)... I know this little guy is aching for a little more room than I'm providing in my belly, so hopefully my mental wavelengths are reaching him and he will get the message that it's ok with me if he makes his appearance a little earlier than the 22nd... just a little early, not tomorrow early.
Anyway, here's a few pictures from the fabulous shower I was able to enjoy with a few of my oldest and dearest friends. Thanks for fun games, amazing food, cute gifts and an overall "bitchin" day!
Lindsay, Tess and Allie... three friends I have known for years - love these ladies!!
Brooke, me and Nat... I felt a little violated in this picture and Nat looks like she's enjoying it way too much :). Kidding lady! p.s. We didn't plan the b/w theme, we are just that in sync.
Natalie MADE this... I am so impressed with her quilting abilities. I will never let baby Olson poop on this blanket.
Brooke, me, Tess, Linds, Allie, Bekah, Jess, Katie and Nat. So cute!
And... Katie and me at 35 weeks. She is due two days after me, but I'm preparing myself for her to go into labor before me... sigh. I love that my belly is basically at Katie's chest... the tallest and shortest of friends pregnant together. (What you can't see is Katie on tip toes and me squating lower to try to match our bellies).
