Ugh. That "have baby" task has been on my little Remember the Milk to do list since April 7. It mocks me. I don't want to be overly complainy or anything (at least on the internet--call me on the phone and you'll get an earful about how I'm 79 weeks pregnant and I want my body to belong to me again and how much it hurts and OHMYGODGETTHISTHINGOUTOFME). Last night I was 90% sure I was in labor. And then I wasn't. As a result, I haven't been terribly pleasant today.
And then everything just gets thrown into perspective, doesn't it? Am I really going to sit around and cry because I might have to be pregnant until my due date? Or because I might have to have a safe surgery (that I still really don't want to have, by the way)? Seeing and hearing the stuff about Boston has sure helped to provide a much-needed attitude adjustment.
The baby isn't happening today. But neither is the shower--let's be honest. And I'll probably whine and get Matt to vacuum. But we are safe and happy and have much to be grateful for.
Like a young Jon Hamm, who, thank God, was not one of my peers. Because if he had been, I would have died every day.
And baby sunglasses.
And this boy, who is going to make a fantastic big brother.
Nice.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the picture of Jon Hamm. I needed a lift!! (Except that I'm now feeling just a little creepy because a young Jon Hamm looks a lot like my boss's 14 yr old son. Yikes!!)
