Keeping It Positive

My back hurts. Really bad. I’m due in four weeks. It’s getting’ kinda hard. I made a permanent indention on my side of the bed and when we turned over the mattress, I made another indention. We’re havin’ the baby at home. Yep with a midwife. Ron’s freaking out. He says he’s not, but he is. I know, I’m his wife. We went garage saling and well actually Ron went garage saling when I was out of town and called me to tell me that he found some onesies. I bet the ladies there thought that was hilarious, my husband going through boxes of baby clothes to find the onesies. My father in law is in town. He’s helping around the house. I’m a cleaning fool. Not sure what has come over me but I have completely cleaned out my pantries, laundry room, drawers, desk, under the beds, organized closets, the whole nine yards. I planted a garden with my mom and niece on Tuesday. That was fun. I dug the holes and Mallory planted the plants and when we got tired Mom took over. She’s good at that. I have successfully, so far, prevented Fisher Price from taking over my house. But I will be updating you on that fact, b/c I have a feeling that you become a mom and you just don’t care anymore. I have a baby shower at my house Saturday. My sweet friends are in charge, I’m just hosting the location so I don’t have to haul it all home…I will already be home. You know the whole home thing. That’s where I am most of the time these days, home. Kind of funny because I never wanted to be home much as a kid, but now I have my own house and my own husband and my own car and life and pregnant body and now I want to be home a whole, whole lot. I am eating ice like my life is dependent on it. Midwife says my iron is low. That’s not all that’s low. We won’t go there. My garden makes me happy. We had maids come and clean my house b/c my back can’t take it, and that makes me REAL happy. Thinkin’ about getting one last pregnancy massage before the big day and that makes me happy too. The Japanese people really like my music, they’re buying CD’s left and right, and that makes me happy. We got a new puppy, he’s a golden retriever and he makes me happy too. So we won’t talk about swollen feet and ankles and cankles and butt pain and insomnia and breakouts and moods swings today ok? Let’s just keep it positive. Amen.
