Where to begin?
Wednesday. No, Thursday.

Thursday.

You all were recently spared a very boring, very upset, very self-indulgent post by yours truly because the house deal fell through for like the 500th time. At this point, it may happen, and it may not, but one is about as likely as the other. You were saved from this very boring post because the internet at home is shot, which is just super ridiculously annoying. Today D is hoping to fix it because we cannot live without internet. How sad is that?

Work continues to be really slow and boring, and I'm okay with that.

In pregnancy news, I'm 32 weeks. Woo hoo! That means I'm now in month 8. At my last doc appointment, they said that she appears to be big for her age (they said she was 4 lbs at 31 weeks, and she should be about 3.75 lbs at 32 weeks), and they said I have a mature placenta, which initially freaked me out. Basically, according to the internet, that means that there is premature calcification present, which if it progresses, could reduce blood flow (and thus nutrient and oxygen flow) to the baby, which would obviously be bad. However, as she's obviously large that's not a problem right now...I guess at this point it just means more ultrasounds to check on it, and if anything, they won't let me progress past my due date, which is fine with me. It may even mean that she was conceived earlier than originally thought, which would also be fine. My back has been hurting intermittently, but when it hurts, it hurts more than it used to. This morning I woke up with a killer leg cramp that took forever to go away...that was fun. My uterus feels like it's up in my throat, so I get out of breath more easily than I used to, and I feel like a pansy! Honestly, I'm just glad that it's not quite as warm out as it was a few weeks ago. I was not dealing well with that heat. I'm not super, super huge yet. People are still pretty surprised when I tell them when I'm due, which I guess is good given that she's big, and I'm apparently not that big. So far I haven't had anyone ask me if I'm having twins, so yeah. It's gotten to the point where when she moves, you can actually just sit back and watch my stomach move, which is pretty neat. Very alien-esque.

I can't wait to start working out and losing weight. The fall clothes are coming out, and it's killing me! I can't wait to feel tiny again, to be able to wear cute clothes....hell, to be able to sleep in whatever position I want...to be able to get up without assistance or a big production...to be able to bend over and pick things up with ease...

I was super tired the other day, so we skipped out of the Matt and Cara thing. I just couldn't do it. It's nice to not do things when you don't want to do them..I'm sick of obligations.

Anyhow, about the whole invitation thing....(thanks for all the replies!!!) she apparently realized it and called my MIL to apologize and talk to her about it; she claimed it was an accident, blamed it on habit. I spoke to her about it and said the same thing, that she was in a hurry and just didn't really think about it. I was kind of WTF? but not too much as there obviously isn't anything to be done about it now and since my paranoia can't exactly be proven.

Food hasn't been bad. I'm honestly just not hungry at this point because she's like a baby lap band. I have no room, so I'm not eating much, yet with all the hormones and everything, I'm gaining anyways. Awesome!
