Baby Shower

So I finally got some pics from my friends of the most recent baby shower! We gathered co-ed friends at a local brewpub and used the opportunity to eat, drink, and be merry! Now, why is it that everyone thinks pubs are the perfect place to celebrate my impending birth????

So I recovered (YAY!). Just in time to have loads more work for "home" piled on my back. :) This company certainly does not want me to be bored when I am restricted from travelling!

I will say, this whole being pregnant thing is starting to get old...FAST! Sleep is near impossible, and the bodily functions are all out of whack. It was almost a relief when my midwife told me Friday that the baby has already dropped and that birth could be as soon as 2 weeks away. WHEW! Fingers crossed everyone!

I decided since life as a couple will soon morph into life as a family, that the hubby and I needed one last little trip, so we went camping. Surprizingly, things went really well. Sleeping was no worse than being at home (we brought a nice cushy air mattress), I got out of most heavy lifting of equipment (heh heh heh!), and it was nice to just be outdoors for awhile. The problems only related to hiking. We tried to limit ourselves to hiking on the easy trails, but apparently the moderator of the trails does not exactly know what EASY is supposed to mean! CLimbing down a cliff on a rock slide is not my idea of easy. The hubby was sure labor was imminent by the time we arrived at the bottom of the cliff! Fortunately, the baby is still safe and sound inside my belly!

ILLNESS

A few days ago I started suspecting that some illness was headed my way. I was just barely feeling a thing for a number of days, which actually made me happy, I figured it would be some minor sniffles. Until...

Saturday night I was out WAY too late (against my will) celebrating Cinco de Mayo. Sunday morning, I woke up and **BOOM!** It was like having a miserable hangover from only drinking juice! I had to miss most of the day's activities. BOO! It does not help that I cannot take ANYTHING besides a few Tylenol in a day to help feel better.

I feel just as bad today (if not worse). Plus, the day is very pretty, and I would SO love to go outside and wander in the sun...but I need rest first. Ug. Trapped inside feeling like poo SUX!!!
