31 Weeks

Does that baby up there look a bit crowded and uncomfortable to anyone else?
Yeah, it feels that way too. He's in there.
The BH contractions continue, and they last a long while, like an hour. I don't know if that's normal but I'm not calling the dr. I have an appointment on Friday, at which point they will also tell me that I have doubled my pregnancy weight gain. All from cake. Fine- at this point I'm just trying to get out of this alive.
I am losing words, you'll see in one of the captions below that I said, "white cake, white icing" - that's because I couldn't not come up with "vanilla" no matter how hard I tried.
I also still cannot give you directions. Second drawer from the left doesn't exist in real time, I'm still grunting and pointing. I'm like ALF but with a smaller vocabulary.
Falling asleep is hard and I'm waking up earlier and unable to go back to sleep but the time in between is good and restful.
I'm getting over a killer cold. Kris is succumbing to the killer cold. But don't expect him to admit it, he thinks his fever is the result of some invisible sunburn on his scalp. It must be hard for him though, he has only been sick with a cold 2-3 times in the last 9 years. And one of them we thought was meningitis, his 104.5 temperature made him nuts and they gave him IV fluids and morphine at the hospital so he got over that pretty quickly. So this is all new territory for him. I at least got him to take some ibuprofen for the aches and some Zinc, but when I try to give him the Claritin D he acts like I'm pushing some African bush remedy on him. Like I crushed up boiled frog bones into a powdered form. "WHAT is that? What does it do? Nononononono" I tried to explain to him that it's an effective decongestant and it must be pretty powerful because meth addicts were buying so much of it they had to move it behind the counter. I guess that was unpersuasive? I don't know.
I'm pretty tired. I hate driving. I'm thirsty. I feel full. Full of baby feels a lot like being full of food. Which sucks. Add in the sweating and it's like what TP calls "the meat sweats" - it happens when you visit a churrascaria, and eat too much meat served off of swords, and then sweat. Sorry. I'm sorry. Why did I tell you that?
Ok so that's about it for week 31, 9 to go!
TIME OUT
Have we talked about the Cherry Angiomas of Death? They are popping up everywhere, and if they're not popping up they are threating to with their beady red eyes. Apparently it has something to do with estrogen. I don't know. The other Stephanie Lynch had hers removed after her pregnancies and I fully intend to as well. Ok- I know it's not a big deal- they're the size of a marker dot, but they're making me crazy. Throw in the Chloasma spot on my cheek and I'm a spotty, sad mess.
Alright, that is the end.

Meat Sweats are the worst!
