please wait six to eight weeks for delivery

Ever since I hit the 30 week mark, I've been more in a countdown mode: 10 weeks to go, 9 weeks, 8 . . . It's like counting down for the space shuttle. Right now I'm at 7.5. It's a slow countdown.

I'm feeling pretty big now. For the longest time I really wasn't gaining much weight, but then the Hungry As A Bear stage hit and BAM! I gained 11 pounds in five weeks. I know I'm pregnant and all, but that's still a hard blow to the morale. All that weight better be on her.

Lydia moves around a lot, especially at night. At night she likes to see how sore she can make her mommy's tummy. I've also been having those Braxton-Hicks contractions, but other than that, I feel pretty good. No heartburn, nothing is swelling up, so I don't have many comp laints except I want her to hurry up and get here -- or at least I wish June would hurry up.

Ooh, I gotta go pee again.
