Nausea is back - I'm on med again for it. I feel like an elephant trying to walk on tree trunks when I walk anywhere. I am bigger in the stomach but not as heavy as my first. It is the freakshow phase of preg. I do not like being seen in public by coworkers or strangers and even some family members and friends. Even if they don't comment. I am trying to not care because its dumb. Showering is probably the bane of my existence right now. I wish I had a Jacuzzi tub for this part of preg. I don't fit in my tub. I hate washing and drying my hair and shaving. I am running very low on clothes that fit. I have been starting to leak colostrum overnight and ruining all my pj shirts. But other than these complaints I have been pretty well. Its just very uncomfortable. Weekly dr appts now...feels like I'm there all the time. Waiting on strep B results. Completely packed and ready for hospital, nursery done, all the laundry, all the bottle and pump parts sanitizing and organizing. You name it, we are done. Christmas presents all wrapped...paperwork filled out. I work 1 full week and then I'm off for a week and a half. If baby could come while I'm off that would be swell. I really don't want to go into labor at work, and I really don't want to return to work on January 2nd with a baby still swimming in me. I have my last ultrasound in 2 days when I'm 37 weeks and who knows, maybe they will say baby is so huge they have to induce me early. If they do, I'd love to have him before EOY since I have time off already. Last apt they told me he is really large head and belly. I was crampy and dull back ache when I woke this morning and had diarrhea which I never have, so maybe things are clearing out now. I know that doesn't mean he is ready but I'll take any progress as hopeful!!!!!!!!!!
