Hooray! We’ve reached the third trimester! Let me be possibly the first woman to admit that pregnancy is NOT amazing, wonderful, full of bliss and enjoyable. That’s right. I said it… the word is out. I don’t think it will really lead to the destruction of the human race like we all thought…

I’m not saying that pregnancy is without it’s positives… but let me tell ya… those positives come when your little bugger is finally completely on the outside. Apparently I will forget all the puking, heartburn, constipation, pain, incontinence, bloated painful feet, not being able to touch my toes, stretch marks, mood swings, crying for no reason, animal-like hunger, inability to work a normal work day, inability to go 30 minutes without peeing or eating, awkward belly, waddling, exhaustion, lack of sleep, getting up 4-5 times to pee in the middle of the night, memory problems, clumsiness, gas, breathlessness, nausea, bloated hands, growing leaking boobs, extreme back pain, hips popping out in the middle of the night, leg cramps, not to mention that baby has to come out of where?!?!… I know there are more… but because of my preggo brain I can’t seem to remember them at the moment.

So we have 13 weeks and 5 days left… or roughly 90 days and counting…

Pregnancy does have some positives.
1. You get to buy a whole new wardrobe. Although the downside is, your favorite clothes no longer fit, including shoes.
2. Your hubby picks up on some of the housework like laundry, cooking, cleaning, and dishes. Downside… he never quite gets the hang of it so when you are feeling well you “nest”.
3. There is nothing quite like feeling your little bebe moving around inside of you.
4. All the hormones and stuff make you forget all the bad stuff probably before you’ve even left the bathroom…bedroom… kitchen…lol.
5. In the end you have an amazing little bebe.

But as for those who “LOVE” pregnancy… you’re all a bunch of nutcases…

It’s been really hard waking up at 6am on Saturday and Sunday… hopefully, I’ll get used to it sooner than later. I’ve spent all week deciding on what hours I’ll be able to work at what job for the summer. It seems that every two weeks my schedule is going to change drastically. I really enjoy being with the guys at their house on the weekend… if only it didnt start so early and end so late. *sigh*

This past weekend I started my *new* fulltime job, AVS Weekend Bonus House Manager Aide. Surprisingly, I’m not as tired as I thought I’d be. Especially, since Day Light Savings Time and all that crap. I work from 7am to 11pm Sat and Sun. So I got home at 11:30pm and had to turn the clocks to 12:30am and by the time I fell asleep it was 1:30am and I had to be back at work by 7am. Joy of joys…. but it’s not that bad. I enjoyed it alot, rain, hail, flooding, electricity failures and all. We made chocolate chip cookies… and that makes everything ok.
