30 Weeks

Jul 29. 2010

I now have less than 10 weeks left until my due date! But when you think about it, I'm only 3/4 of the way done, which makes me think with an exasperated sigh, "That's it??" The impatient side of me wants this baby out NOW. The discomforts of the third trimester continue, and I really really envy friends like Shortie who went into labor yesterday (and probably had her baby by now!), or Sara who is now full-term.

Considering how uncomfortable I am getting, and...
