If I could fly...

Right now I wish I could just fly everywhere or float everywhere I need to go. Walking with all this pelvic pressure is SO not fun! Just 10 minutes walking to the subway station is killin' me! And then once I get on the subway, I still need to find a seat to rest my weary pelvis. I wish I had a sign that said "Due Yesterday" or something so that people would understand my urgency in sitting down. Once I get to work, I am okay. I just wish I had a more comfortable chair, like a recliner or something, LOL! Sometimes I take off my boots while I am sitting in my cubicle, I really wish I could walk around the office in house shoes. Oh and I feel like my bladder has shrunk to the size of a pea. Once the bladder is full, I have to waddle on over to the bathroom. I don't waddle otherwise but the pelvic pressure+a full bladder= the duck walk to the loo. I know how important it is to drink water, especially during pregnancy, to avoid dehydration and bloating. But damn the bathroom march is getting to me. Getting up 4 or 5 times during the night is so getting on my nerves! I can't wait until B can join me in all the joys, aches and pains during the "4th trimester", i.e. the baby's first 3-4 months. Right now, all he can do is sympathize with everything I am going through. Sure he helps me in and out of bed sometimes, gets me food and drink, fills up the hot water bottle, etc... But I feel like he really will be sharing the love when the baby is officially here and out. And once a couple of months pass, he will even be able to feed the little prince. We are exclusively breastfeeding BUT I will be pumping and using glass bottles for this little boo. Of course because I am going back to work. We won't introduce the bottle until a couple of months to make sure breastfeeding is well established. After that, everyone else will feed him with a bottle. I won't though. He will only associate me with the straight up breast. I am going to try to breastfeed for 2 years but I will be really proud of myself if I can do 1 year. I am kind of excited about my maternity leave. I think it's going to be a really precious time for me in my life. So yeah, little prince, you have so many people waiting for you! Come on out when you can! Meanwhile, my co-workers look at me like I am a ticking time bomb...LOL! "Oh shit, she's going into labor!" "Head for the hills!" LOL! They see childbirth/labor as an emergency; I don't see it that way at all. This leaves them so befuddled. They look at me like I am nuts! I am very calm and relaxed about it. Even zen. I will admit though, I did get a little weepy the other night. I was really tired and just wanted to comfortably lay down which wasn't really an option at that moment. But hey, pregnancy is an emotional time. B claims I wasn't really emotion or hormonal. Well actually what he said was, I am already really emotional and sensitive so nothing really changed! LOL! Today I slept a little late and rolled into work a little later than usual. I had the realization that rushing to work to sit and twiddle my thumbs in my cubicle really is an exercise in futility. So now I am wondering what is on the menu for lunch... I don't want to pig out like I did yesterday. I was SO hungry! I ate a HUGE veggie burger with lettuce, tomato and cheese and whole bunch of steak fries. I didn't finish it all but I came damn near close! I wasn't hungry for a LONG time after that, probably not until maybe 7pm or so. Oh that little lunchtime binge made for some not-so-nice heartburn. But my super papaya enzymes knocked that right out after I got home. B and I FINALLY got it together and ordered from Fresh Direct. Right now, that's just so much easier than treking over to the grocery store, about 12-15 minutes on foot and then taking a car service home. And I find it better for meal planning because we can really just sit in the living room and meditate on food items we would need for meals as opposed to doing laps of the grocery store with our so-called list and getting frustrated when we draw a blank. Scratch that off the to-do list. So now I really need to just scrub the bathtub/shower, get the throw rugs cleaned and give the refridgerator a good cleaning! The fridge stuff has to happen tonight because Fresh Direct is coming tomorrow morning. Also B and I are doing a final pre-baby swoop of Babies R Us tomorrow afternoon. I need the first aid kit and the baby essentials grooming kit. My doula said some babies come out with fingernails looking like Freddy Krueger!!! I also want to exchange a few things. All and all I am very happy with everything I got as gifts for the baby. The only reason why I am exchanging a few items is because after doing some research, I realize that these items aren't the best ones to have. One item could actually cause harm! So yeah, store credit please! I also want a humidifier but I am so confused about which one to get. You know, opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one! I guess I need to research a little bit more. Ok, that's enough rambling for now!
