but yeah, at 37w6d, the joys of pregnancy have, er, diminished. i've noticed that my hair and skin are getting rather blah. the puffiness is beginning to be unavoidable (but if you can believe it, i can still -barely- wear my wedding ring), my nails are all beginning to chip and break off, and my energy level has gone from normal to couch potato with record speed. i now have to heave myself out of the car and other low seated positions. my maternity clothes barely fit and won't stay on my body the way they would a few weeks ago. and though i am still quite busy at work, my interest level is at an all-time low. i KNOW i have a lot to do, but it's so.hard. to make myself do it!
again- i scream- it's all worth it! and it is. but i am definitely feeling as ready as i think one can feel to jump into the unknown of parenthood.
here's a picture of mister fatty (currently estimated at 7lbs, 11 oz) and me at school yesterday. one nice thing is that the weather has been nice enough to let me get one last wear in of a lot of my summery maternity clothing!

did i mention i had maternity pics taken a few weeks ago? the proofs should be ready soon, and i can't wait to share them. it was a lot of fun.
so, no news on when he'll be here yet. not too soon, i'd hazard a guess. in the meantime, i think i shall take a nap.
