31 Weeks

31 weeks pregnant and it is starting to take its toll. I have finally started taking the iron pills this week that the dr. told me to take, what? 3 weeks ago, I am hoping for the boost of energy or did she say it will only help a little? Maybe I just don't really remember the first pregnancy anymore, but this second one seems just a little tougher to get through and I still have 2 months left. Last night Dan made a point of saying there are only 8 more Saturday's left before the new baby should be arriving. That really hit home even more, only 8 Saturday's to get stuff done, only 8 Saturday to enjoy some one on one time with Katelynn, only 8 more Saturday's before the sleep deprivation comes back into play and then 3 more years to get to where we are now with Katelynn where her every move doesn't depend on us, am I really ready for this? My next dr.'s appt is next week and then we start the every 2 weeks and then once a week appts. I am definitely ready to not be pregnant anymore (I do think I remember that with Katelynn, but am thinking it was the last month instead of 2nd to last month). This baby is heavy already and is taking its toll on my body, I have a pulled muscle or a nerve in my pelvic on the right side that triggers into play while I'm walking and making me limp every so often throughout the day and at home when I sit on the couch or am laying in bed and try to get up the sciatic nerve on the right side is pinched and I feel like I am 90 years old and need a walker ( I wonder if this is what it feels like to get old?). The bathroom breaks have increased that I now feel that I should move my desk into there and it's where people seem to want to ask me how I am doing because I run into everyone everyday in there - people, seriously - I do not want to talk to you while I am trying to pee - this is a private time. As much as I have been trying to avoid getting up at night to take a bathroom break it has now come to 'I have no choice' and have to get up. I feel that I am not getting much sleep again either, my mind will start to play "movies" - long movies all night long and this is strange, but they are not movies that I have watched or that I have seen previews on - I should be getting up in the middle of the night and writing down these movies, I could write screenplays and maybe become a millionaire, but I am too lazy to do that - too bad for me.
I am however ready for Christmas - I have one gift left to buy and then Dan and I can wrap gifts one night this week and ship them I am hoping on Saturday. I have our Christmas cards done and ready to mail out this week.
Well, my mind continues to wander from one subject to another so I think I will just do another post of a couple more Deadwood pictures, go clean my kitchen and hit the sack -I hope it's a good movie tonight!
