Still Here, Still Pregnant, Still with Elephant Feet
I know I should be updating the world -- especially about how I have these fabulous friends in Grad City who totally surprised me by loading two boxes full of stuff that I then got to open at my shower, some 1,800 miles away. They are so sweet. As is One Tired Ema, who sent me a wonderful package as well. I, however, am not sweet. I am big and pregnant and grumpy. I am sick of myself and of being the hugest person alive. I just sent Absurdist Lover for chocolate -- no better direction than that. I don't know what I hope he'll bring back really, except that it should be chocolate and there should be a lot of it. According to the midwife, I'm due a week from today and look like I will go to term. I'm also uninducable at this point, at least as of Wednesday. I get non-stress tests all the time now and checked every five or so days. I'm ready to be done. I also spent a big part of the day in Grading Jail. Waaaaaaa. I'm just too grumpy to post right now. Did I mention that I'm also preparing job materials? Teaching two classes of unmotivated students who think they are still in high school? See why I don't post more often? I hope I'll have something nicer to say soon. Until then, I should probably only talk to the two people who can deal with me right now. Absurdist Lover will soon lose his patience. And I can't blame him. I'm awful.

um, earnest, you're not awful, you're PREGNANT! don't be so hard on yourself. you're a week away. you've made it this far.
sending love and hugs.
As Maude said, you're preggers! You have a right to be grumpy! You're almost to the finish line - enjoy the chocolate!!
What the others said! Here's hoping that lots of yummy chocolaty goodness comes your way!
Maude said EXACTLY what I was going to say. You're pregnant. It's uncomfortable now. Force many people to wait on you, and move around when you have the inclination -- I found it helped a lot with discomfort. I did a lot of modified yoga on all fours in the last weeks.
Chocolate helps, right? And more is better. Hugs.
Earnest, you're due so soon!! Amazing, amazing, amazing. I've been grumpy too, by the way. REALLY grumpy. With no good excuse! I'm missing you and really wishing I could be there this week! Sigh. Big hug from me, too.
