Six More Weeks?!?!?

My due date is in 6 weeks, 1 day. Well, according to the doctors it is closer to 4.5 weeks, but I am still going by MY due date.

I wish I could say I was excited. I mean, I am super excited about the baby joining our family, but right now, six weeks seems like a lllooooooonnnnggg time. I have officially reached the point in pregnancy where I am miserable. Nothing fits me correctly anymore so I'm uncomfortable in all my clothes. Physically, I'm a mess. I don't want to go into gory details, but the thought of feeling like this for another month and a half depresses me. Actually, more than that because I know post-giving birth isn't a picnic either. Mentally, I'm starting to definitely getting more scared of delivery this time around. I'm also scared of the sleepless nights and other things that come along with having a newborn again.

I know plenty of people have children, and a lot more than just two. My co-worker just had her sixth child and she seems like she's surviving. I just find it so interesting how I literally was fine last week at this time and now I feel like I've been hit by a truck all of a sudden.

On another note, Nick finally pulled down all the baby stuff from the attic. I got to go through all the newborn clothes and accessories. It was fun. Except I didn't realize we had so much pink! I really thought I had a lot more gender neutral stuff. I told Nick that carrying all the pink clothes back up to the attic, when they might have to come back down again, is his "punishment" for me not finding out the sex. The other problem is that the seasons aren't matching up very well - Katarina has a lot of fleece jammies where this kid is going to need more just onesie outfits. But, it gives me something to look forward to do once the baby is here - shop for little baby clothes, possibly little boy ones! And I never turn down a reason to shop.

Nick sent me flowers to work on Thursday - "just because". Just because he's glad he doesn't have to go through all this physical stuff himself I'm thinking!
Nick is going to start giving me acupuncture treatments. Hopefully that will relieve some of the stuff I've been feeling.
