JOB CHANGE

So the hubby FINALLY landed a job where he will not be travelling four days a week. Yay! It will be nice to have help around when I need it, and more than two tiny dogs to keep me warm at night. BUT...this will also be the first time since we got married that we will cohabitate with neither of us regularly travelling (since my travel is restricted from this point on). Will we even get along? STAY TUNED!!!!

SOMETHING IS FRIGGEN BITING ME!!!

What did I do wrong here? I wake up each morning with new bug bites on my body. I have checked my dogs for fleas, I have washed the sheets and pillowcases, my husband has not retained ONE single bite. I just do not get it. What could be biting me!?!?! I am so itchy! Being itchy and 31 weeks pregnant really sucks.

Barbara, from this day forward you will also be known as:

One baby shower down, one to go!

The hubby's family wanted to get together to celebrate the impending birth, so we joined them for a nice gathering at my bro-in-law's restaurant (he is a chef) to munch, chat, and open some fun gifts. The hubby's sister put a lot of effort in, and I was so grateful.

Perhaps the most humorous experience of the whole visit was my encounter with ex-prez Ronnie Reagan. Yes folks, the owner of the establishment is a staunch republican. For any of you who know me, you will see the irony in the photo I had taken with the life-size bronze statue of our former commander-in-chief...

So here I am at just a few days shy of 30 weeks along. It seems crazy that I only have 10 weeks left, but I am certainly feeling it. From indigestion to fatigue to that obnoxious need to spread eagle when you squat to pick something up...I really look pregnant now. No more mistaking my "condition" on a bizarre body shape!

Along with the shape comes the pregnant lady egotism. "Excuse me, but did you NOTICE that that was a pregnant lady you just cut off?" "Would you be so kind as to NOT smoke POT around a PREGNANT LADY?!" "If you bump into me, I will bump into you TWICE as hard, you got me!?!" I guess as a travelling pregnant person, I run into more self-absorbed businessmen than most do day-to-day, but I still feel entitled to a little slack once in awhile...

(OMG, what have I become? Damn hormones!)
