In an effort to get more sleep I took off work yesterday but I decided to do the laundry and try to pick up the house and before I knew it the day was over. Last night we celebrated Millie and Aida's birthdays at Maggianos with Stan's dad, Aimee, Aida, Millie, Stan, Me, Maggie, William, and John. We all had a great time and William showed us all what a great sharer he was with his Lucky Charms.
Stan and I are still focusing a lot on trying to get the house ready for the baby. I am really going into crazy mode thinking of all the stuff we have yet to complete. It is cool to start seeing the baby's things in our house. Like I love seeing the furniture in the room and the clothes I have so far hanging up in his closets just waiting for a little wash in Dreft and then for Wyatt's little body to fill them out. I am starting to get used to saying his name and all my fears of the birth have completely melted away. I am just looking forward to finally getting to see him and to get to know him. I keep wondering what his personality will be like and if he will have hair when he is born, what color his eyes/hair is etc.
I also notice a big difference in terms of my body. I have been eating a lot less actually which I feel is fine because we all know I can always stand to eat less. And I have just been really physically exausted by everything. I have to push myself to just make it through a mall. Actually experiencing how hard it is to get around at this weight has really opened my eyes to the challenges I have been putting on my body for so long. I realize so much more what it will be like if I let myself go down the OE road. I still celebrate food but I now know how challenging my life will be if I don't start taking better care of myself. With this weight I have horrible back aches, I can't get off the couch very easily by myself, and I don't have the ambition to do thing. I can't imagine living like this all the time. Not feeling up to doing things because I am afraid of the exercise and because my body is so taxed from the day. I mean hello I am 26 not 80 so I really need to slow my roll a great deal!
The office has been a little stressful recently. I keep pushing myself at work as much as I can but between the commute and the actual work I am afraid I am starting to slow. My work is still right on point so I am not worried about the quality I am putting out at all but I have to say I am worried about what it is going to be like in 2-3 weeks when everything is nearing the due date. I guess I will have to do what I have been trying to do all along and just hang in there, take breaks whenever I need to, and make sure that I am not losing my attention to what is important (getting the work finished).

Wyatts' nursery is adorable. The back ache is so normal. I definitely had that a lot towards the end. I'm sorry your having a hard time getting around. It'll be easier after the birth. It really does make a world of difference.
Isn't it scary how much difference a few extra pounds makes? How are your joints holding up?
