22 miles

They say that when you run a marathon, you hit the wall at around mile 22. Well, I think I've hit mile 22 of this pregnancy. Don't get me wrong, I'm still doing and feeling really well (as my OB tells me, I'm a boring patient) but things seem to have changed as I reach the 35 week mark (5 weeks to go!).

First, there is that whole breathing thing (no more space for my lungs!) and second, I'm tired, really tired. Could the tiredness be because I am putting in long hours at work, have something going on almost every night of the week, am dealing with the stress of some family health issues, and still trying to exercise 5-days a week, all on top of being super pregnant? Could be...

What?! Me? Overdo things?! Nah ... ;)

N8 and I took a tour of the hospital last week. The tour felt like we were scouting out the facilities before a big football game or something. First stop, warm-ups (OB triage), then off to the big game (labor & delivery), then back to the locker rooms for the game debrief and cool-down (post-birth suites). It was a bit surreal to know that the next time we are there, it will be because I am in labor. I sure can't wait to meet this little blondie. ;)
