Sickness

So I caught a cold. I really don't recommend getting a cold during the last two weeks of pregnancy.

I took off of work Tuesday and Wednesday. I hate taking off work; it's inconvenient for everyone involved. It just means that I have to do more work later on. I ended up taking ginormous naps during the middle of both days. They helped a lot. I felt much better by the beginning of Thursday, which was good because my class Thursday morning was doing presentations and I really couldn't take off. I got through today as well, which finishes my last real teaching day for the term!

Being finished with the term makes this whole "baby" thing a lot more real. I've been counting down to B-day  based on the number of weeks left in the term and now there's only finals left. My finals are Monday and Tuesday, then I'm done teaching. That means that we're down to the wire on baby production. Tiny Squee could be here any time. I had a moment of sudden clarity that boiled down to "Oh my god, we're actually going to have a BABY." It's seemed pretty abstract up until now. I guess it's really time to start getting ready.

I haven't gotten anything ready this past week, what with the being sick. That also means that I'm behind with grading, which then gets pushed back, so I'm not going to get any baby prep stuff done this weekend either. Hopefully Tiny Squee stays internal until at least the due date so that I have a few days to clean and get stuff a bit more organized.

I also need to write a post about my Blessingway, but I haven't done that either due to sickness, business, etc.
