@texasmama2014 ugh! Work travel this late is so lame. I really don't think I will go into labor (only going to be 36 weeks and a few days when he is gone), but I'm just so uncomfortable. And DD is WILD right now. Her school is not doing enough to tire her out during the day.
Was literally too pregnant to get Ziploc bags out of the bottom back corner of our pantry this morning. I tried and nearly got stuck! Had to call DH to dig them out, lol.
I'm also WAY too pregnant for DD to be up for two hours in the middle of the night screaming "I want Mommy" and refusing to let DH help her go back to sleep. I'm just a tad concerned about how things will go when this baby arrives.
I'm too pregnant to work anymore. I'm 37 weeks tomorrow. I wear compression socks everyday because I'm on my feet the whole time. They don't seem to make a difference anymore, the swelling is real. I dropped down to 8 hour shifts instead of 12s but I'm still worn out! I don't want to go out early because that would be less time home with LO .. I just don't know how I'm going to work full time for the next 3 weeks. My OB will induce at 39 weeks as long as you're dilated .. I really want to go naturally and when my body is ready. But induction is so tempting right now!
@jkershaw2013 I know how you feel! I'm 37 weeks and my OB will induce at 39 weeks too. DH is all for inducing so it will be easier schedule wise for his work, but I'm kind of nervous about inducing. But on the other hand, I am so done I don't even know how to word it. I honestly don't know how I'm going to make it through the next 2-3 weeks at work (especially with all the "You look miserable!!!"). I'm really hoping that it is just this week that is weighing on me so badly.
@jkershaw2013 and @alyssajrob22 I think the worst part about working right now is having to get ready. I am so over work clothes and shoes it isn't even funny. I would love to wear yoga pants and flip flops all day every day. I have skirts that I rotate because the thought of getting into pants right now is not appealing at all. It is hot, the are restricting, and hurt my stomach down low now.
I'm too pregnant to get laundry out of the bottom of my washing machine.
YES! I'm short to begin with but it is now impossible!
Yup! I'm super tall so getting at all that way down low is a challenge no matter what, but now it's like the friggin Olympics lol. I just have DH do it.
My sweet husband clipped my toenails for me last night and put my shoes on for me this morning! I swear it was like being a turtle on its back trying to do those things!
I'm too pregnant to deal with the nurse on call line. I called with a pretty simple question about traveling (best friend's dad passed away back in my hometown) and ended with me starting to cry out of frustration and being transferred to my OB's nurse. All she had to say was, "If you travel that far from home, insurance will not cover you." Which is what my OB's office ended up telling me. Instead she acted as if I didn't know when I should go to the hospital if I am in labor and in general being rude.
I'm too pregnant for country music. "Every other weekend" by Reba just came over pandora and I started BAWLING. (Its about joint custody and still being in love with the ex). I have no reason that this should be so sad.
I'm too pregnant to be doing daycare drop off for my kids. Getting both of them down to the stairs to my youngest ones classroom with two backpacks is nuts. I had to carry him through a tantrum the other day with 2 backpacks and I almost fell and twisted my ankle. Once he's dropped off, I have to take my daughter up 2 flights of stairs to her classroom. Then back down to my car and off to work.
@thisisnumber3 school drop off and pick up is something I dread every day. I only have one, but all the stuff and just how hot it is makes it exhausting. She almost always tries to run to the playground at pick up too, so i'm typically chasing after her yelling "it's too hot!!" So stressful!
Shopping for greeting cards. I just had to buy a birthday card for my Dad and of course I kept getting all choked up at every cute or sappy card. This has also happened at Father's Day, Mother's Day, and my mom's birthday. It's embarrassing.
Putting on panties is like the workout of a lifetime. I don't have time for that! Since when does it take me a legitimate minute to balance and get my legs through lol

My sons stomach flu. Ugh! Just when I think it's over, it hits again.8 days now! Finally broke down and took him to the doc today. Only to be told to keep pushing fluids until it passes. Over it!
@lotsofsunshine I am sorry for you and your son. Our 15 month old just had strep. Nobody else in the house is sick at all and she doesn't go to daycare yet. I have no idea how she got it but it sucks! She was puking along with it. It is no fun when your kiddos are sick.
@jamiesc58 That sounds terrible! I'm so sorry to hear that. DS is finally on the mend... We think. Hope your little one continues to feel better. Having sick kiddos is the worst!
I am too pregnant to sit at a restaurant booth. Too pregnant to sit for two hours with my feet down. Too pregnant to play with my dogs who like to climb on me. Too pregnant to pick up all the stuff I fumble and drop. Too pregnant to concentrate on writing my dissertation.
I'm too pregnant to deal with people. I hung up on a nurse tonight because she couldn't get an order to work and we don't put orders in down here in the lab. We are in fact not allowed to.
I told her to call another patient floor for help or ask a co-worker and she kept insisting I tell her what to click even after I said we don't have the same computer system in the lab. I finally just hung up because I'm crabby and exhausted.

Apparently I'm too pregnant to sleep decently 2 nights in a row. It's been an on off thing for the last week or so. I hate when insomnia on Sunday nights, makes for the most awful case of the Mondays.
I'm too pregnant to be working anymore. I'm checked out! Sitting in the parking lot of the hospital, dreading walking in. #imtoopregnanttobepregnantanymore !!
Thanks @lotsofsunshine...she took her last round of antibiotics on Saturday. Which also happened to be the day I had to take our 11 year old dd in because she caught strep. Now I am watching our ds for symptoms. At least they are all getting this before school starts up again.
I'm too pregnant for school clothes shopping. Walking around for 2 hours yesterday while DS picked out all his clothes and shoes just about killed me. I'm so swollen today!
We had a wedding Saturday night and I stayed until the very end (12:45). That is probably the latest I've been up since NYE. I seriously felt like I had a pregnant woman hangover all day yesterday and today my stomach has just been off. WAY too pregnant to be staying out and about (in heels) that late. DH kept saying "oh it is ending any minute, let's just stay."
I'm too pregnant to be leaning over the tub to help my 6 year old get a bath! He needs to start doing more of it on his own with just my supervision, or Daddy is going to have to take over!
