I am seven months pregnant.
It is nearly June.
It is 95 degrees today.
It is not fun.
I'm fine at home where I can control the thermostat and wear whatever I like.
It is not fine at the office where I have no idea what temperature they choose (many days we either freeze or burn there seems to be little in between) and I have to wear "office appropriate" clothing. Which in our office excludes anything sleeveless, shorts, capris, sandals and flip flops.
And Liam is kicking the crap out of me lately. I swear I am black and blue inside. It's like he is kicking out with his feet and punching up with his fists at the same time because I will feel my stomach bulge in both directions. He has found my ribs and enjoys using them as kickbags. He has found my bladder and believes it to be a pillow to lie on and squish. He thinks the most comfortable place to be in the world is right up under my boobs, pressing my lungs and stomach and giving me really bad acid reflux.
I can't sleep at night. It's not possible. It's too hot in my bedroom so I've moved to the couch. That worked for a couple weeks, but now I think I'm getting too big for the couch - or I was longing for a bed - not sure, but I set up an air mattress on the living room floor. It worked - kind of - slightly better than a couch, until I tried to get up to pee. I could not get myself off the floor. I crawled to the entertainment center and used it as leverage to hoist my giant belly up off the ground.
On the couch I could get to a seated position relatively easily and then stand up from there. The mattress on the floor was near impossible. There was a moment at 2am when I thought about crying out for Jesse to get me off the floor so I could go pee, but then I saw I could try to use the entertainment center as a helper instead.
I've since moved back to the couch. But with the constant needing to pee, not being able to find a comfortable position, (and then when I find one my leg falls asleep and it's difficult manuvering into another position), and the baby kicking me all hours of the day/night, I haven't slept. During the weekend this isn't such a problem because I usually catnap around 2pm or so and catch up.
I can't do that at the office. :P
I'm getting very ready for this baby to come.
2 months to go!!!
