Friends, I’m uncomfortable.  I’m teetering on the edge of miserable but what’s keeping me from going straight to miserable is that I think it’s wrong for me to say I’m miserable when I have this beautiful, healthy baby inside my gigantic belly.

So, I’ll leave it at uncomfortable.  I’m also feeling grateful, which is nothing new, but now I’m grateful knowing that I am about to end the healthiest pregnancy I have ever had.  That, in itself, makes me want to sing to the world.  And I probably would if I wasn’t so tired.

But I am so tired.

I’m also grateful that during a dinner out with Lovelyn, Erin and Stephanie last night (BUFFALOCHICKENSANDWICHES – also the reason why I did not live-blog Idol, SORRY!) they made me feel so much better about my discomfort.  Erin, could commiserate, Lovelyn told me how she cried at night and Stephanie would continue to say “YOU’RE ABOUT TO HAVE A BABY.”

{And then they’d all take a drink of their fancy, awesome margaritas and giggle because margaritas are awesome and I want one but really I want like ten.}

Anyway, it’s what I needed to hear, I hate complaining but I’m having a hard time not complaining.  I find myself apologizing to Brian for complaining and apologizing to my friends for complaining and then not liking myself very much for complaining and I realize the end is near but that doesn’t help my back RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND.

But it does help when I see each of my friends for the first time individually last night and each of them says “you look so cute.”  And I groan at them because how could I possibly look cute and then Lovelyn says “just say thank you” and I say “maybe tomorrow” and she laughs and says “okay.”

Even though I wasn’t very comfortable last night, I was very comfortable last night.  (ten margaritas would have been helpful, too, but you know how that goes.)

Anyway.

Yesterday, I was 37 weeks, 3 days and I looked like this:

37 weeks

When I showed the picture to Brian, I asked him if it did me justice and he replied with “NOT AT ALL.”  So, I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination.
