Back at work and not so comfortable

So I am back at work, back on the grind. It felt good to get a few odds and ends accomplished this morning... But damn...I really am feeling uncomfortable. Sitting in this chair is just not working for me. I really want to just lay down with my Snoogle pillow in the bed and watch a movie. I filled up my hot water bottle to put on my back. That's not really helping. I just feel so much pelvic pressure. I felt awesome this morning on my way to work and when I got to work. I feel really cute today, from my hair to my outfit. My estimated due date is this Wednesday, I can't believe it! And the full moon is coming up so maybe that's what the baby is waiting for! Well now that the living room rug is officially steam vacuumed(since the baby will be here soon, the steam vac thing will become a monthly ritual so that he can play on the rug for tummy time without worry), I am feeling awesome and ready to go! Well kind of... I still need to exchange/buy some things from babies r' us, but I just didn't feel like lugging all the stuff with me this morning. And I want to go the laundry mat and wash these area rugs. Is this nesting? LOL! A sign of impending labor! Oh and I need to get a better, non toxic bath and tile cleaning solution because the Seventh Generation brand is not cutting it! I may try CLR... I want a sparkling bathtub and shower! Tilex is like death in a bottle, all those fumes... I can't and I won't do it! Especially pregnant! If I have to put in a little extra elbow grease, I'll do it. B is going to flip when he sees me bending over the bathtub with a toothbrush, scrubbing away, but oh well. A lady's gotta do what a lady's gotta do. And I want to do a thorough cleaning NOW before the baby comes because who knows when I will have the energy after the little prince arrives!
Oh and I STILL need to make a play list for the labor and delivery! Well at least work is chill and the things left to do only have to do with the home stuff/birth. Yay!

I can't believe you had to go back to work today! I totally thought it was go time on Friday! Well this little guy is already keeping us on our toes alright!

Regarding cleaning supplies, may I recommend the Mrs. Meyer's brand of powder. It's like comet or ajax or whatever, the old-school powder that you sprinkle on the tub, but not so toxic, and very lovely-smelling. And it works a lot better than any of the other hippie bathroom cleaners I have tried. I confess that I have not read the label in detail but I know that brand has a pretty good reputation for not being full of toxic chemicals.

Now I need a recommendation for a non-nature-killing toilet cleaner! I've been using 7th Generation and it's better than the other hippie cleaners but not that great.

Anyway, keep me posted!

Gros bisous,
