Wedding at 39 weeks

So I just want to a friends wedding at 39 weeks last night and it was awsome. But the entire night all anyone wanted to talk about was how crazy (in a nice way I think) I was for coming and wearing heels. Sorry but I'm still feeling great and this will be my last chance to see friends before he arrives and maybe for a long time after that. Anyone else doing some last ditch socialising?

    Yep. It's my last weekend being pregnant. I had some friends over for wine and cheese (only 4 oz of wine for me)
    I've also enjoyed going to the park and mall all week long with company. If I had a wedding, I'd go. I have one friend getting married next Saturday, but I should be done with delivery by then (hopefully it won't be a long labor)

    Yes I go to a lot of business receptions with my husband and I always wear heels and dresses. I don't go every time (sometimes they are just too long). At one of them one woman goes 'I just want to get you out of those heels and into some crocs!' I also plan to go to my yoga classes right up until delivery. My yoga instructor is actually a doula so she keeps joking if I go into labor in classes it'll be fine.

    I went to an outdoor wedding last weekend at 38 weeks. I wasn't able to wear heels though :( I am doing just about everything I'd do if I wasn't pregnant. Just got done working and went out with friends last night. Of course, I do end up in bed before 10 most nights, but I'm still keeping up my social life lol.

    Yep, keeping a normal schedule and routine here. I obviously have no idea when he's arriving, so I'll be going to whatever social events I'm invited to until he comes. Hopefully I'll have to cancel some plans though and he comes soon :) Due in 2 days...eek!

    No. It's so unbearably hot and I live in a city that probably has the worst traffic in the U.S. So I hang close to home. But it takes probably an hr to get anywhere in the city. Due tomorrow.

    I don't have many events scheduled lately that I have to attend, but that hasn't stopped me from keeping busy. I am a serious homebody but being this close is making me stir crazy so every day I am not at work I make sure to take the kids to do something. No more lazy days at home for me, I'm losing my fricken mind and need to keep busy. Yesterday we went to Lake Michigan. It's about 45 minutes away from the hospital and I had to climb sand dunes but who cares, the kids had fun and I could keep my mind occupied for a bit. And it wore me out so I slept like a dream! This waiting game...is tough.

    Yesterday we went our village's "Taste of Hamburg" where a bunch of local businesses were selling food on the sidewalks, there's also local artists and other tents selling things. Whenever our village does something like this, we walk up from our apartment, which is almost a mile. It was tiring and we didn't stay long, but I went :) I kept thinking, this is the last time we go to one of our village's outings without a stroller or carrier! 

    After that, we went to DH's softball picnic, got to hang out with a bunch of the guys and their wives/gf's like I used to before I got pregnant. Minus the drinking, of course.

    Today we have a softball game and a family reunion after that. Busy weekend, but I'm doing it all!!!

    I went to a going away party at 38 weeks last weekend in a dress and platform sandals, and I got all the same comments! I also get a lot of people asking me how I'm still in the office. I'm just going about life as usual until he arrives - maybe at a slightly slower pace because of the waddle, but not avoiding any activities that I want to do!!

    Honestly, pregnancy discomforts and limitations are real, but like all illnesses and discomforts I think they affect people differently. Attitude is a big part of it. For example, if my dad has the slightest hint of a cold he's totally incapable of getting off the couch...while other people would be perfectly fine going about their lives until they feel much sicker. Some people have zero tolerance for discomfort or pain - and those people complain loudly enough that everyone else thinks pregnant women are delicate flowers who couldn't possibly leave the house. If you feel good, why should you sloth around on the couch for two weeks??

    We went to a wedding last weekend (38w). It was OK. Definitely annoying not to be able to drink or dance (my sense of balance is not great). I didn't wear heels though!

    We are trying to keep up our social calendar up and also going to see lots of movies just to stay busy. Mission Impossible is good, btw

    I'm 37 weeks. I went to a concert 2 nights ago (tailgating before) then went out last night to see my friends band play until 1am. People keep telling me to stay home and rest but if I feel fine, I'm going out. If I get tired, I leave.

    Normal everything here too at just over 39 weeks. Headed to a friend's BBQ this afternoon. Only thing I think I'm crazy for is pushing back my 2 year old's nap to go... :P

    The last wedding I went to was my own! Lol. That was a year and a half ago, we were the last of our friends to get married. I miss wearing heels but hubby is about an inch shorter than me and it makes him really self conscious if I wear them when we're out together, so I just stick to flats or something similar.

    We don't have much of a social life but yesterday we went to a bbq that was nice. I miss being around people. I'm hoping we can squeeze in one or two last minute things before baby gets here. (Due in two weeks)

    I am going to an adult only pool party in my neighborhood tonight.  It was scheduled for Friday night but got rained out.  I am 39+2 today.  I am hoping my maternity bathing suit still fits!  I guess I probably shouldn't be going down the water slide though haha.  So sad.
