DIRTY THIRTY.

This week is going to be difficult.  I'm not being negative.  I'm being factual.  Wednesday is my baby girl's first birthday.  So far, I am still in one piece.  I'm sure the cracks will start to show soon enough.

So, to celebrate my survival through this fist day of a horrible week, here are some things that you should know. . . 

*  My tits feel like they are full of cement - heavy and lumpy.  Sexy, right?

*  It has officially happened.  I am more tired of being pregnant than I am worried about a preterm birth.  

*  Kick counts are relatively painless for me.  This kid is so active that it usually only takes a couple minutes to feel 10 movements.  I will be surprised if he doesn't start walking immediately after birth.  Almost.

*  Why would you wake a sleeping baby to feed?  I say, if you are worried for your milk production, pump while he sleeps.  Seriously.

*  My dreams are more and more disturbing.  Usually, they are metaphors for my inability to properly "incubate" my daughter.  Last night, it was the total ruin of my childhood memories.  Great.  

*  In addition to my normal contractions, I am feeling pressure "down there."  I don't feel "open for business" but definitely feel pressure.  If it doesn't let up, I will call my OB tomorrow.

Yeah.  If I could get through late October, I would be elated (read: 35 weeks).  Today, I am not feeling the possibility.

Chins up, people.  It can always be worse.
