One week from labor...oh and snot.
Okay, so I have managed to blog two days in a row...yay me!
I could not sleep last night...not because I am so excited to see my little girl next friday, and not because of the heartburn that could have burned the house down and not because of the leg cramps and not because of the teeeeensy bladder, but because nose goblins crawled inside my head and built a booger-dam.
I could not, for love or money, get air inside my body. So I panted. and then I rolled over and then I rolled over some more and then I gave up and went to the couch. Only it was only about 40 degrees inside our house (because i am a damn thermostat junkie who won't allow any heat on yet). so then i was snotty, congested and freezing. with heartburn. and leg cramps.
At three in the morning steve emerged and brought me a duvet to wrap up in (thank GOD) so I did not have to add "hypothermia" to my list of complaints this morning.
After approximately 6 minutes of sporadic sleeping I decided to call my boss and see if I could come in late this morning.Luckily, he was on board so I crawled back in bed. Where the booger-dam broke and I was sorely tempted to use the entire queen-sized sheet as a tissue for the amount of snot I was losing.
Then...Steve...like a freaking HERO shows up (he had left for work a half hour earlier, so was not there to witness me gazing at the sheet wondering about it's absorbancy), with a gas station crappacino in hand and draws me a hot bath with some of that yummy menthol bubble bath stuff in it.
Now I am at work. The booger-dam is back in place and I am panting at my desk, but by God, I'm here. (when I think of the booger-dam I imagine the little guys from Fraggle Rock with all their little sugar construction projects....don't you remember them?)
The bad news is that I have all my work done for my maternity leave. and I am being sneaky and turning it in over-time...(well, i WAS being sneaky until I dumbly posted it on the internet just now). So, now I am trying to stretch out activities like "burn data on discs" and "clean off desktop".
OH and i totally forgot (although how, i have no idea, because it is only the BEST news ever) I lost two pounds yesterday at my OB visit! yay, two whole pounds that I dont have to obsess about after the new year!
