@sleepy13 Hehe! The pic was pre-photo booth fun. For some reason the hook rubbing the belly was so hysterical to all of us. I swear the rest of the wedding was one of those classy rustic affairs.
@sleepy33 I absolutely love that dress! I have the same one and I practically live in it! So comfortable and cute! You look great!!
It is one of the last things I have that still looks good- I have to go speak somewhere for work today, and I was like, yup, stripey dress it is! It was a good investment.
3. Symptoms: Insomnia, horrendous heartburn, occasional back aches--honestly, though, I feel pretty lucky so far regarding "side effects". Probably just jinxed myself.
4. Sleep: It's becoming elusive! Forget catching z's; I have to hunt and tackle them.
5. Best moment this week?: This coming Sunday, we have friends coming over to help us organize our garage,then move my family's furniture and stashed belongings out of our apartment.

13. Is your nursery done: Not even started. We've been having to wait until we could get people over to help us move furniture. So glad I'm going to finally be able to start working on it next week!
14. Any signs that baby's on it's way (dropped, lost mucous plug, etc): Baby has assumed the position.
15. Are you still working (how long will you work): Nope, but I can't wait to look for a new job in the new year. Fingers are crossed that I'll be able to find one that actually makes use of my degree.

14. Any signs that baby's on it's way (dropped, lost mucous plug, etc)-- She definitely dropped, and continues to drop more. At my appt last Thursday I was not dilated, but was about 70% effaced and my cervix was very soft. Mucus plug keeps on coming out. Fingers crossed I am a little further along at my appt tomorrow.
15. Are you still working (how long will you work)-- Today is my last day. Sad, but also relieved because it just hurts so much by the end of the day that I am SOOOOO miserable. It is good timing really.
16. Are you working out-- At this point just getting from one side of my house to the other is pretty much all I can do. If I have to walk across a parking lot I am pretty much in tears by the time I get there. I can't imagine working out, nor do I want to.

At my appt last Thursday I was not dilated, but was about 70% effaced and my cervix was very soft. Mucus plug keeps on coming out. Fingers crossed I am a little further along at my appt tomorrow.
15. Are you still working (how long will you work)-- Today is my last day. Sad, but also relieved because it just hurts so much by the end of the day that I am SOOOOO miserable. It is good timing really.
