Currently...
Obsessing over: keeping a clean house and getting organized before the baby arrives! I love my house... I can't express that enough. However, it sucks having a dog and a cat that shed so damn much around the house. Lately, I've been so exhausted that my list of to do's gets thrown out the window. I'm also trying to organize the nursery as much as I possible can without anyone's help. My reasoning behind this is I can work at my own pace, have it the way I want it and take naps in between if i want to. I swear I feel like a damn hibernating bear.
Working on: writing out "Thank You" cards to the 60+ people who attended our baby shower this past weekend. Johnny and I are both very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family who are sharing this amazing adventure with us. It's hard to send a little thanks when you want to do so much more to show how appreciative we are.
Thinking about: what baby Emilia will look like. The curiosity is killing me! I have a few friends who have mentioned they've had dreams in their third trimester about what their child looks like. I have yet to have a serious dream about Emma. In fact, just last week, I dreamt that we had company over at the house and all of a sudden the baby morphed out from my belly. She was super clean, lots of black hair, small body and super clingy. I kept telling the baby, "What are you doing here!? You're not supposed to be here for another two months! Go back inside, now!" I woke up with the giggles as I retold the dream to Johnny. As curious as we both are and how often we talk about it, we will just have to wait and see when she decides to show up.
Anticipating: anything not relating to work. I love my job but recently certain people in the office have made it difficult to want to show up. It's all been a bunch of silly drama and maybe it's because I am more hormonal than ever, but I just don't feel like putting up with anyone's shit. (Pardon my French!) On top of that, I found out I don't qualify for FMLA or short term disability which means I have to take an extended leave from work. After finding this information out, I really don't want to be here. I am always looking forward to the weekends and catch myself staring at my approved holidays calendar waiting for the next official day away from this forsaken place.

| Pretty much what it felt like yesterday... |
Listening to: the Queen station on Pandora... I can't get enough of Freddie Mercury. You guys have no idea how much I <3 Queen... I love them so much I am determined to get my child to love them also. My bff Jess gave Baby Emma the Lullaby Renditions of Queen! I can't wait to have this playing non-stop in the nursery! :D
Eating: everything in sight! And according to my doctor, I'm on target with weight, belly measurements, no signs of high blood pressure or gestational diabetes. I must add, I'm hungry what feels like 80% of the time, however, I don't stuff myself to the point where I feel awful. I do find myself eating strange things at strange times such as chocolate icebox pie for breakfast.
Wishing: this damn heartburn/indigestion goes away!!! For a while there, it was so bad, I wanted to cry because I was not getting enough sleep to make it through the work day and the pain was just unbearable. I started taking Zantac which has helped a bit, the occasional Tums here and there has also helped. However, my best line of defense and also the most uncomfortable was buying a backrest pillow from Walmart a few days ago. It seems to help me sleep better but I'm just not accustomed to sleeping upright.
Anywhooooo, that's it for now... next post will be about the baby shower we had last weekend. I really want to share some of the cool stuff we received. Until then, here's a current photo of me at 33 weeks taken this morning before work.
