"One pack of Depends please! STAT!"

It's totally wild how a few short weeks ago all I could think about was the impending doom of stretch marks.

Now?

All I can think is: "Oh my God! The only way out of this situation is pushing HIM out!"

Im suddenly overwhelmed with the very idea of labor and delivery and yet...

I cannot wait!

Im a mixed-up ball of emotions...and have been for the last week now.

"Im having a baby!? When the hell did this happen!? Where did time go!? Im sooo not ready!"

and then...moments later...

"IM HAVING A BABY! He is going to be so cute! Get him out right now, Im sooooo READY!"

It's wild.

It's insane.

It's the oddest thing I have ever done in my life.

Now, let me tell you something you probably do not want to hear. (But because I can, Im sharing it anyway.)

Im seriously considering the purchase of Adult diapers.

Why didnt anyone inform me that everytime I sneeze (or cough)...a small stream of urine will squirt out and drip down my leg?

Did anyone not think this bit of info is at all important!?

I mean HELLO people, this is huge news! Pee suddenly emerging without warning is not OK!

And yes, I've been doing my Kegels. So there.

My pee-squirts have gotten so bad that Ben now knows about them and expects them like he expects the sun to rise each morning.

Our nights go something like this:


Ben: So today i was walking...

Shelli: :::Insert loud sneeze:::

Ben: (Looks at me with sympathy) Did you pee?

Shelli: Yes! Oh God! (I rush to the bathroom only to hear him giggle softly as I leave)


I am a firm believer in Adult diapers. I think they may help me.

I may need them for night time too.

Because I cannot sleep anymore.

Wait, scratch that.

I totally CAN sleep...but like a newborn baby...

I get up every two hours to pee and cry.

Cry because I pee.

Pee because I sneeze.

I cannot win!


And there are two other things I would like to share.

1. I cannot stop "nesting". Everything needs to be in place...I have turned into my Mother.

2. I have leg cramps now. And even watching the Amazing Race...cant take my mind off of them.


So...there. Im pregant and Im peeing, crying, crazy and crampy.

Anyone want to hang out with me?

Haha.

For some good news:

My little ping pong is right on schedule and even though he has a two vessel cord instead of a three vessel cord...he is growing just like any normal baby. YAY! Yesterday the Dr. estimated that he will be 8 lbs. Ek!

I must leave now... you guessed it...

I have to pee.... again.

Thanks for all the good vibes!!! xoxo ~Shells
