Well well well, I'm now at the point in my pregnancy where sleep just isn't happening!! I am naturally a toss/turner and it seems that it is now impossible to be this way! She has decided on a particular spot and if I turn over, she refuses. This means, instead of "rolling with it" she likes to stay exactly where she is, and squish all my organs if I turn the other way. It's really the best time!! I'm pretty much ready for her to come out, although I think I just might be the 2 weeks overdue because she's clearly stubborn and not wanting to go anywhere!
I can't WAIT to sleep again! If one more person tells me I won't be getting any sleep when she does come out, I BEG to differ! Even if I'm not getting the same amount of hours that I possibly could get now, it'll at least be sleep by myself where I can lay however I wish!!
The wonderful scary stories of labour are beginning to freak me out to no end! I'm glad I didn't go to birthing classes, I'd be scared out of my mind right now if I would have had to watch some sort of video on it. The way I see it is, people have been having babies for years just fine without knowing what they're up against why should I be any different? Doesn't it really defeat the purpose of trying to stay calm if you know what you're REALLY in for?! I think I'll just take my chances and wing it, for the first time in my life... I don't want to be as prepared for this as I can be. Prepared in this case means thinking too much which leads to worrying and ultimately, a nervous breakdown. Although, come to think of it... the stress could possibly force her out. Hmmm. Haha jk. She can stay as long as she likes, well up until the end of September, then she's coming out! I don't want to share a birthday, the line has to be drawn somewhere!
So in short, sleep is not happening and therefore random stupid blogs have come about in its place!

Unwanted Advice. Thanks But No Thanks!
So I'm wondering these days if there is a sign on my forehead that says "I don't have a brain so you should probably just tell me whatever is on your mind because clearly you know what's best for me and my life". Ok.. maybe that sign would be too long, but really. Why do people think that just because I have a belly, it means I have lost all ability to think for myself and make good decisions? While I appreciate the advice I receive from friends, whom I usually seek out and ask, I'm really not at all for people sticking their noses in my business. Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean I care nor that I want to hear it!
Maybe it's my fault for posting things, but it's only because I'm excited or upset about something. It doesn't mean I want everyone and their mother's dog commenting and giving me FYI's. Like really, I can think for myself. I'm the BIGGEST researcher I've ever met and while you may think you know what's best, you don't. Stick your noses elsewhere PLEASE. If I want your advice or your opinion, I'll ask for it.. trust me I'm not shy!
So for all those people that think their opinions matter or feel the need to share any thought they have... think twice. Not everyone is so apt to caring about what you think is best. I am an intelligent person who doesn't make decisions on the fly. Clearly you mustn't know me well if you haven't realized how much of an analyzer and a pro's/con's list maker I am! I'm a LIBRA for crying out loud, weighing things is the SYMBOL of my sign!
Maybe this is harsh but it needed to be said, in case you didn't know my brain functions quite well and I've got this covered!

Been a while...
Well well well, the need to rant has come out in me once again!
First of all, I don't think people quite understand what they make you feel like when they say "you've sure gotten big since the last time I saw you" or "holy your belly is huge". Well THANK YOU.. I hadn't noticed. I just don't understand what people are thinking, do they really think a 5+ lb baby would just fit in a regularly sized stomach or what?? How do you think she grows??! I'd be a lot more worried if I wasn't this size, what could that mean for my baby??! Like really, give it a rest! If I want to know how I look or what the size of my belly is looking like, I'll ask how about. If I don't ask, I don't want you to say one word about it. Don't you think I feel like a big enough whale as it is??! LEAVE IT ALONE!!!
In other news, with only a little over a month to go I must say summer is beginning to get to me... now that we have one of course! I find myself sweating in places I didn't know I could and it seems to take a million years to get cooled down once the wonderous sensations that are hot flashes begin. Let me tell you, I am not looking forward to menopause.. well maybe I am knowing that this won't ever be an issue again.
My last rave of the day will be about pain. I stubbed my toe today, I swear it's broken and I was thinking to myself, I wonder what this pain x 20 million would feel like because THAT's going to be labour. Jeepers Lo, I hope you have a real urgency to get into this world and don't put me through 30 hours of delivery. Although, I do think I would relish in the fact that I could say "Do you know how long I was in labour with you...." for the rest of her life! Luckily, that's one guilt trip my mom has never been able to use on me.. but I think I would enjoy it! Haha.
Ok I think that's it! Time to sleep, or what I call sleep nowadays.. moreso like falling asleep and oh what's that? I have to pee? Ok, get to the bathroom and oh no, that's just Lo playing one of her cruel jokes where she headbutts my bladder periodically making it feel like I can't hold it one more second only to find.. there's nothing to hold! Thanks baby, I really appreciate those special moments with you! And then, get back into bed and find the comfortable spot and then all my limbs go numb soooo I spend 5 minutes trying to turn over! Don't get me wrong, I'll miss her in there but I don't care what you say, sleep is going to be a LOT better once she's out!!!
The end.
