This weekend was pretty great. Saturday we went to the Bagel Place for breakfast and then met my brother, his kids, and my parents at the Aquarium. We let the kids play in the water for two hours and then came back home for a nap. After that, we picked up my nephew and went to Lowry Park Zoo's Zoo Boo (that was fun, except for an altercation I got into with a staff member who wouldn't let me go back the way we came when Ian freaked out over a 12 foot tall growling monster). Sunday Sean raced and Ian and I got to hang out together for some quality time, then we went to my brother's pool for a few hours. That night a family friend watched Ian for our Anniversary and we went to dinner and to see Burn After Reading, which was your typical interesting, bad movie.

This week has been less than stellar. I'm the only one in the office so I've been the one responsible for keeping things in order. I've had a few fires to put out, and the worst one I have to deal with is something that I can't do because I'm not allowed to drive more than 20 minutes away from the hospital. *Sigh* Today was the first day I've actually used any sick time, and I was forced into it by my mother. I feel like garbage and she told me that my body may be trying to get me to slow down to prepare for Baby Girl's arrival.

Fine.

I've been trying to move things along a little bit, but nothing. Nada. Apparently the methods we used to keep her in utero are coming back to bite me in the ass! Trust me when I say that I am thrilled that I've made it full term, but I'm starting to get a bit uncomfortable. I am trying to keep up-beat about everything, but I really don't want to be induced!

My hormones are acting all wonky too. I get upset over some things that are not new situations but, for some reason, affect me more now. My feelings get hurt for no reason other than my mind getting in the way, and I feel lonely even though I'm surrounded by people who's support and offers for help are constantly pouring in. I'm falling behind in my studying and that makes me pissed off as well.... I'm not usually like this, so it's all new territory for me.

Blah.
