Good morni...oh. The baby STILL hasn't come out?

I just want to clarify...these things do come out, right?
I'm not going to be like this forever...right?

It's a little early for me to be complaining about the baby not coming out. After all, the doc has my due date at July 27 (although I have my due date at July 20, since BOTH ultrasound techs confirmed that it should be so, and some after-the-fact figuring made that date seem more likely. And I'm measuring a week ahead).
So technically I'm only 37 weeks along, and I have no right to whine.
But seriously...I'm sick of being pregnant.

Moment of painful truth: I've gained 50 pounds this pregnancy.
I would almost feel better if I knew I had pigged out on bon bons and big macs these past few months, but the truth is, the weight came out of NO WHERE. I've been eating essentially the same amounts as I had been eating pre-prego...and yet...and yet.
I also never exercised this much before I was pregnant. Hour long walks 3 or 4 times a week? Swimming laps? Psh...that never happened before, but I've been pretty darn good at keeping active, especially since my nausea went away.
Mom says, "It will drop off. Don't worry."
Well, I certainly hope so! I intend on bringing baby on a ton of long walks and eating ridiculous amounts of salad until I get back to my previous weight. This whole blow-up-like-a-balloon thing isn't good on the self-esteem.

Enough about that.

Happy 4th of July!
And also, happy laundry day...because that is what I'll be doing at my parents. That, and possibly jumping on the trampoline.
One thing I'm looking forward to- REALLY looking forward to, is having my own washing machine and dryer at the new house. For the past 4 years we've been either dragging our soiled linens to the local laundry-mat, or to my parent's house. My parents have been very kind and haven't charged us a water bill...remind me to make them dinner or something.
But my OWN washing machine and dryer!? Modern technology at its finest. Now, instead of waiting until we are completely out of towels and clean underwear, we can wash as we go! Just by jogging downstairs!
Seriously...I might have bought this house just for the front loader LG washing machine and dryer set downstairs.

Well...I'm going to go take my supplements and drink my tea and make myself look presentable for the day. Wishing you the very finest of 4ths! :)
