Quick morning note. Went for my walk with Ripple - it was horribly hard to get up. This will be the refrain for the next two months - I hurt. My body aches. I can't get comfortable. I am so very fat and hot. I think that about sums it up. Walnut got himself into a deep corner of my abdomen this morning and wouldn't leave - like he was holed up there, so walking was fun since I had to bend to left at about 90 degrees to keep me from gasping with pain.

S and I had a wonderful holiday weekend. We went to Mark and Jill's land on Saturday and spent the night camping. They had cots and a tent already up and ready for us so it was really easy camping - the kind I like 7 month pregnant. I enjoyed them both more than I have in a while, so that was nice. They are trying hard to get pregnant and so lots of talk was about babies and pregnancy.

Saturday was our one year anniversary. We didn't really do much to celebrate other than talk about it and hug and kiss a lot. I made a collage of some of our camping photos for S and he gave me a Packers shirt. I had only 1 very small crying episode so all in all, we had a great weekend.

My libido is starting to come back from the hiatus during the last few months. Its a mixed blessing, though - I feel very sensual but I am so huge and awkward (how DO you spell that?) that I can't reconcile the way I feel with the way I look - so I swing, mood-wise. I realize I may never have my old body back totally, but I would like most of it back. Now. I wonder how many pounds lighter I"ll come home from the hospital - I wonder what the average is - 10 lbs? Depending on how big the baby is, of course - let's see - if walnut is 8 lbs, could there be another 5 lbs of placenta, fluid, etc. that I lose as well? I guess I will be happy if I come home 12-15 lbs lighter.

I need to finish getting ready for work.

Baby class starts this week!
