A few "last" thoughts - but probably not

Though I am tired and completely swollen at this point I will miss some things about being pregnant.
I'll miss feeling him kick around inside. He's a very very active little boy and it's been super neat to see how he reacts to different sounds or when I press down on him or when I eat something really sweet. He goes crazy every time the dr tries to check his heartbeat.
I'll miss that closeness we have - but I'll be glad that Jesse will now get to participate more in the bonding.
I'll miss having an obvious excuse for being fat. :)

I probably won't miss the daily inquiries from co-workers to absolute strangers about my weight, the heat, when I'm due and how big I look or tired I must be.
Had a lady yesterday ask me how big he was and I said I didn't know. She (not a tiny woman herself) proceeded to say how much I reminded her of herself at my age and she was the same size as me and had a 9 lb baby.
You know - even if that is true - I don't want to hear it. I want to hear how just because I'm huge I may still have a normal sized baby.
I had another lady at work in the elevator tell me how cute I looked and gave me really nice compliments. Didn't mention the heat or my feet once and I thought - this lady remembers what it's like to be 9 months pregnant. I felt really good after that.
The guys in my office are the funniest though. They range from absolutely awkward to terrified I might suddenly have the baby at any moment to making me the butt of some big joke to completely rude.
They all have bets on when I'll go and everyday whoever's day it is they give me pointers on what I can do to get things moving along so they can win.(roll eyes)
To all my friends and family, I promise you will be told when I go into labor or when he gets here. I swear I didn't have him 3 days ago and forgot to call. :) I have a grandmother who calls 2 or 3 times a day to see if I've had the baby yet. Granted - she's quite senile, but I've had to stop answering the phone because it was driving me batty.
No one wants this baby here more than me, except maybe my mother - who wanted me to have him 3 years ago :P
