5 More Weeks????!!!!!

I am officially 35 weeks pregnant today. It seems to have gone by so fast, but at the same time I look at the calendar and think "there's no way I can do this for 5 more weeks"!!!

I am now convinced that Jackson was born early because I'm just not cut out for the last few weeks of pregnancy. I don't think it would be so bad if I weren't working 40 hours a week, but I am, so it is!

By the time I get home from work I have zero energy left for the day, and that's just not fair. Yes, I know I'm whining, but too bad!!!

I wish I could just find 3 weeks of extra vacation lying around here somewhere so I could be done working at 37 weeks. I'm so afraid that I'm going to completely wear myself out and start off on a deficit when we bring the baby home.

With Jackson, this wasn't an issue as I was on hospital bedrest for a week before they ended up doing an induction. At the time, it was the most horrifying thing that could have happened, but looking back, I think it helped my body prepare for labor and delivery and the resulting aftermath of bringing home a new baby.

If it weren't for money, bills, and responsibility, I would just go on FMLA now and take the full 12 weeks off and only get paid the 6 weeks of disability insurance at 70% pay. But unfortunately, being an adult sucks so I have to stick it out for 5 more weeks, or whenever this little guy decides to make his debut.

As soon as we get through Jackson's birthday part on August 21st and his first day of school on August 25th, I'm ready and willing when baby is!!! =)
