Random items of note from this week

1. I've started getting the "you haven't had that baby yet?!?!" comments. No, I haven't.

2. I wore flip flops for the first time to work today. I think I've been pretty darn good about maintaining a professional look throughout this pregnancy. I've been wearing wedges, low heels and cute flats for months. But you know what? My feet are weary. And it's dress-down day. And I'm almost 35 weeks pregnant. I'm wearing flip flops, and I dare anyone to challenge me on it.

3. I think baby is running out of room. He has become a lot less active this week, and when he does move, it feels like he's scraping my insides. Or drop-kicking my ribs. Or trying to bust out. I'd say he's getting rather big and strong!

4. I'm seriously considering moving into my bathroom. Or at least sleeping in there. It would make my life a lot more efficient, although I suppose I am burning off a lot of pretzel M&Ms with all my walking back and forth to the bathroom.

5. Ahhhhh, yes. Pretzel M&Ms. Pure evil. And by "evil," I mean "awesome." I am addicted. Luckily, I just saw them labeled as a "low-cal snack approved by nutritionists" in my Good Housekeeping magazine today. But I think in order for them to be "low-cal," you can't eat 9 million of them a day. Harumph.

6. If I'm not waddling yet, I'm dangerously close. And you know what? I don't care about that, either. If I need to waddle in flip flops, I'm gonna waddle in flip flops, danggit! So there.

7. Just five weeks (or LESS?! or more?) to go!
