- I make Chris take the kids to the pool at 7:30 every night and instruct him not to put sunscreen on them so it will count as their bath (no comments please about how you have noticed a green tinge to their hair lately).
- I feel baby Annie kick and my first instinct is to ask her to knock it off.
- A dear friend offers to take the kids for the day, but I refuse because the thought of loading/unloading them from the car is too overwhelming. (If you know how heavy Max is, you understand!!)
- I have decided that shaving my legs is really not that important even though I live in South Florida and go to the pool Every. Single. Day.
- I count sitting with Max and watching a 30 min Super Why program as his learning time, recreation time, family time, and exercise time (that is, if I make him get up at least twice and get me a drink).
- I have suddenly become an overly optimistic parent (i.e. "Oh, he's OK on the roof- he really is a good climber". OR "Don't worry that his lips are turning blue- he really is a good swimmer. I promise he'll get to the side, just give him a few more seconds.")
- I have to take more bathroom breaks when we are in Target than my 2yr old and 3yr old combined!
- Every one in the house except me is sleeping with a rolled up pair of pants under their heads because I need all 15 pillows we own to fall asleep!! (they would just fold a blanket, but since I keep the thermostat at 55 degrees--- all blankets are being used to avoid frostbite)
- I baked a ham large enough to feed 30 people, and I am so proud that now my family will have a home cooked meal to eat every night until I deliver (By the way, how long does ham last in the refrigerator?)
- Chris is beginning to complain that going to the community pool for a bath every night is taking too much time. I ask him in all honesty if he thinks the lake in our back yard would count?

Girlfriend, you are cracking me up! I have no idea what you're going through, but I'm sure you cannot wait for sweet little Annie to be here! Hopefully not too much longer!
This is too funny! I love #1. I hate to admit that I do that now and I don't have pregnancy as an excuse =). Chlorine kills most of the germs, right!?! =)
That is so funny, Holly. I have been there and am so happy that I am not there now. ( :
Some days you just have to do what you can to make it through.
faith-- you are right-- I really cannot wait. I am so excited for a little girl!!! I hope she is prissy!!
Jenny-- I do it too when I am not pregnant, but I am even more adamant about it now because if I don't it means I have to bend over the tub!! Of course, chlorine kills all the germs!!
Alicia--ONE DAY AT A TIME. ONE MORE DAY--I will just keep telling myself that for the next 4 weeks!!
Thanks for the comments-- so good to hear from each of you!!!
4 more weeks only if you deliver on your due date. You could have 6 more,babe! You know me, I hate to point out the negative side, but you should be prepared. :)
