100 days

So today marks 100 days until my due date.  I always thought it was pretty cool when people would write about being at 100 days, but I don’t really have anything to say.  I will say I don’t really want to get any bigger than I am now, but I know it is inevitable.  During the day I really don’t mind, it’s only at night when I’m trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in that I don’t really like it.  And that’s usually because I ate too much food for dinner and my belly feels like it’s about to pop.  Some days it just feels really stretched.

I don’t want to make this an all pregnancy blog, but it seems like there’s not a lot else happening around our house these days.  We go to work and then when we get home we are tired so we don’t do much.  I have to straighten up the house, I hate having clutter and whenever I have dishes in the sink I think my apartment is a huge mess.  I am worried for when there’s another person in the house who may not hate clutter as much as John and I do.  John recently discovered hulu so he’s been watching tv on the internet.  He likes to unwind at the end of the day by reading/watching the news.  We’ve been trying to go to bed earlier so it really seems like we’re only home for about 2 hours in the evening with time to do anything.  I am working on my ethics exam for the CPA and when that is done I will really have lots of time to hang around at home.  I really need to start going out walking or something.  I have gotten quite lazy with my excuse that I have to study all the time.

To celebrate St. Patrick’s day I went to an Irish pub with some of my co-workers.  It was packed.  The waitress tried to get me to put whiskey in my lemonade but I showed her my belly and she said that was a good excuse not to.  Then tonight I went to an awesome enrichment activity.  The ladies in my ward are so good about adding all the little details to make it a special event.  We had displays of pictures and dresses; blessing, baptism, and wedding dresses.  The little girls modeled their baptism dresses and the young women modeled wedding dresses and we had to guess whose dress was whose.  (And I won a pretty pot of tulips!)  And they made an awesome video that I was interviewed for a while ago.  It made me cry.  The video had clips of people talking about womanhood, motherhood, men talking about their wives, children talking about their mothers, I loved it!  Then it also had pictures of sisters in the ward in their 3 dresses.  It was wonderful.  Plus I got to visit with lots of sisters that I haven’t talked to in a while (or ever, really).

So, here I am with 100 days to go.  I can’t figure out how to make a cute smile, but I guess it’s the belly that we’re really looking at here…(wow, it’s bigger than I thought!)
