28 weeks, 5 days
Jerry and I are so grateful and blessed to have FOUR shower offers! One is at work, the other three are various friends and family who have generously offered. We're very lucky! Hope we can scrounge up enough guests to make it worth everyone's effort!
Only 11 weeks to go, and I'm getting a little nervous. Strangely, though, it's not about the labor part (although I am sure a meltdown will occur at some point). I don't feel ready for the baby at all! I think part of it has to do with Jerry's job situation, but we have to make the best of it right now. The other part of it is all the people who are saying, "Enjoy the quiet now/get all the rest you can now/the first three months are the worst," ad nauseum. Thanks. I got it--having a baby around is hard work. Adding stress to the situation by saying those things is NOT HELPFUL.
I am still feeling pretty good, although sleeping at night is a challenge. Just rolling over in bed involves three point (and four and five) turns. Dealing with the hormonal rollercoaster is the worst part, I think. It amazes me how quickly I can turn on the waterworks. It's pretty embarassing to have a meltdown in the middle of Main Street at the Magic Kingdom, like all the two-year-olds without naps. All because of a hot dog.
this is the neatest thing.
