34.5 weeks

Wow, I can't believe I have only 5.5 weeks left until my due date.

The baby's room is painted and the furniture should be set up on the weekend. I will post a picture when it is all done (but that won't be until the end of May when my Mom gets here with the quilt she has made).

At my last doctors apt I had gained a whopping 5 lbs in 2 weeks. That brought my grand total to 21 lbs at 34 weeks. Doctor was very happy, he had wanted a minimum of 25 lbs. My blood pressure was 120 over 69 and the baby's heartbeat was great.

Last Friday I had a girls night with Reality. It was really very fun. I was worried because she has been through so much recently and I didn't want my big ass belly to hurt her in any way. But she insisted it wouldn't and I love her for that. I am glad that some bloggers see pregnancy after infertility differently than fertile pregnancy. I certainly feel it is different. I know any pregnancy can hurt. I know that no matter who gets pregnant it is easy to think "why isn't it my turn". That is normal. When you want something so bad, it is hard to see someone else get it. But I can't be one of those women who get pregnant after infertility and forget. Yes, it has gotten easier, the pain isn't as sharp and the fact that I am pregnant automatically makes it worth it. But I can still remember, I can still understand what the struggle felt like. Anyway... Reality made me feel like one of the girls, she was able to vent about things and I loved that she could still talk to me about it. And... we laughed. Oh did we laugh. We walked around in the lovely night weather and talked about the internet, and blogging, and bloggers and old boyfriends and old lovers and..... boy did we laugh and have fun. I haven't had that much fun in a while. Hey Reality... want to do it again soon?

So... I was tagged by Artblog to do a meme. Since she only tagged me recently I will happily comply. Sometimes by the time I realize that I have been tagged the meme is long since over and I have missed it!

I Am

I am the Atlantic ocean, the salt spray air and the wind blowing through your hair.

I am natural and honest and forthright and sometimes way too naive.

I am most at home climbing on rocks, or mountains or in a field of wild grasses and flowers.

I am a pretender in a suit, armed with knowledge and a false sense of confidence.

I am extremely empathetic but sometimes a terrible listener (I talk too much).

I am loyal and protective and terrible at staying in touch.

I am touchy and affectionate and crave intimacy.

I am a mixture that confuses even me.

I like this meme so I am going to tag others.

I want to know how you would describe yourself:

Reality
Hopeful Mother
Ms. C
Mony at Mrs. Negative

I didn't want to tag some others because they are going through things that seem too important to disturb with game playing. But if you are reading this blog and want to play along consider yourself tagged. Or email me and I will add your name to the list.
