motherhood and what it entails towards the end of pregnancy

I have 9 days left till my due date.

most of you know, i'm pregnant as hell! so i just wanted to share a few things the normal pregnant woman might not :)


i'm tired as hell, but some how get the 2 am urge to clean the oven.

i crave sunkist, raspberry sorbet and cheesecake.

we decorated the nursery in dr seuss so there would be no pastels in our life :) but now i have rhymes in my head 24/7.

i haven't seen my nani in over a month and half with out the use of contortion and a hand mirror. shaving blind is out of the question.

i cry any time there is one of those commercials on tv with the hurt kitties and puppies, or any show/commercial with sad old men.

my legs spaz for no reason at night time and my hips feel like someone has pulled my legs in opposing directions like an abused barbie doll.

heartburn is never ending, but antacids give me gas. its a toss up as to which one is more uncomfortable.

i'm horny as hell, but sex brings on a session of 'Braxton Hicks' contractions - which can feel like early labor this far in.

trying to get out of bed requires more grace than i have and help from my fiance half the time. when the cat is sleeping on my side of the bed, its an even more strange dance of 'humpty dumpty rolling around the kitty'.

i have nightmares/dreams that should be turned into Spielberg movies. Magic rings to find the kid, mountain getaways that include monster run flea markets, zombie apocalypse running with my mom and aunt jacking cars, and bio warfare while we hideaway in a basement in Greece that is stocked full of wine and cheese....

and lastly-

i'm ready for the baby to be here. i want to see him, hold him and cuddle him, but the fear of labor has my knees clamped together tighter than maximum security prisons.

aaaaaaaahh motherhood :)
