In the words of Sarah, our former and first nanny who now works up at the school as a barista, which allows me to still see her every single work day: "And why are you hobbling today?"
Oh, that would be because my back just cannot take lifting the boys in and out of the cruiser, in and out of shopping carts, onto and off of exam tables at the doctor all in a several hour time period. I think I am officially done with this pregnancy. Seriously.
I'm really tired of the incessant wake-up insomnia I experience every freaking night like clockwork. You could probably call this the amityville pregnancy, because I wake up at about 1:50 every night. Without fail. I am awake thereafter for at least an hour, generally longer and the boys usually start stirring by 530am, at the latest. I am such a great mother these days, that I let them fuss in there until at least 6:15, because I just cannot get my pregnant butt out of bed before then.
And I am an early riser. I am an "early bird catches the worm" kind of girl. Generally speaking, it is always "the earlier the better".
Not so right now. I think I could probably stay in bed all day and still be able to go to sleep when I need to. I'd just wake up again at 150.
I'm also really tired of how unbelievably difficult it is to turn over in bed. I had kind of forgotten about this stage. You know which stage I mean? It's the stage where your belly is a huge watermelon and you feel like you have to heft it from one side to the other as you roll over in bed. It's also the stage where your hips ache when you stand up after having been lying down and where they feel like they could just come loose from your legs at any given moment.
I should stop complaining, really.
Honestly, overall... I feel better than I have with any of my other pregnancies. I walk at least 2-3 miles a day and usually about 5. I do yoga multiple times a week. The back thing only really happens when I've been lifting toddlers back and forth for hours. And I've managed to keep the sacrum issue at bay.
I think I really just want to have this baby already. I think that's it. I think I'm tired of the waiting. I think I really just want to know if she's going to have a lot of hair like I did and if it is going to be dark like mine, rather than the platinum blonde boys I somehow seem to produce.
I am ready to meet her.
Oh and I finally have a full name for her. We've had the first name for quite some time, but I just could not settle on a middle name. I swear... I've been changing it every single day. I was being fickle, I’ll admit. I couldn’t commit.
I’ve finally committed. Her name will be: Aurora Bella.
