Thankful for Elastic

I currently am 8 months pregnant. I have 29 days until the due date on November 21st. I have been stretching those elastic waistbands a little farther these days. :) Things I have noticed lately:


>it is harder to get a good night's sleep , or even roll over in bed
>I am moving even slower than I have been (which I thought was all ready pretty slow)
>I have to space my errands throughout the week (no more fitting it all in on Fridays)
>Eating is not fun - there's no where to put it
>My feet hurt, so I am thankful for plush socks
>Pregnancy brain is in full force - what was I saying?
>I have to be thankful for the little things that make life easier - like elastic!



On a better note, my husband seems to be full of energy. He's spent the last several weekends (when he's been healthy) doing errands around the house. Fix this, paint that, build something new, organize this, toss old junk, hang a picture....!



We've had a fun time preparing the nursery. The last minute details are coming together. We still need to finalize a few things, and the calendar is pretty full the next two weeks. So if she can wait to meet us until at least Nov 8th!, then we will feel "ready". That sounds likely, but we'll see what the doc says later today.
The last few days have been hard due to both boys having the flu, and we are praying I do not get it. That seems to be a familiar story lately. I haven't felt ready for winter....ever....but we are looking forward to staying in and relaxing once the new baby girl arrives.
