I almost set my alarm yesterday because it felt like the end of the weekend. I know it's really Thursday. But I can't shake the feeling that I'm just on temporary hiatus from the regular work week. Yesterday I spent time running errands in the morning then came home to work on some in house projects before my drs apt. (see below) Very saturday activity. I am glad to get a chance to put the house in order (read:filing and taxes) before the baby is here, but I also feel kind of like a quitter for not toughing it out to the bitter end at work. Work guilt I guess. I mean I have a freelance project to do, but it so different than what I was doing before. ACME has offered me sitting space at the office, but in some ways I kind of like doing it in my own time. It's not like I don't have other projects to work on of my own creation.
Doctor's apt went as routine yesterday which is good. Boring is good! I'm retaining more water now which caused me to be up by 6lbs in 2 weeks. My feet are feeling a little puffy too as well as my hands. They don't look too bad, but they just feel kind of swollen. Of course, this often happens during the last few months so, no one was worried... but they will check it again in 2 weeks when I'm back in for my next appointment. I'm glad to confirm that I'm feeling more awkward and it wasn't just my imagination.
In light of that, I've picked up a dvd for simple pregnancy yoga, which I hope none of the neighbors can see me practicing. Though it's silly to watch, it does make me feel more balanced and have less aches and pains. It also doesn't take very long (breathing and relaxation take up the bulk of it.) and it's easy to do in the house. Nothing is more fun than having two brits lecture me on my breathing.
I'm a bit nervous because tonight we start lamaze classes. (bring two pillows and leave your pride at home) I'm hoping that I wont' need too much help to get off the floor. :/ the instructor sounds very positive and above all *social*. I've read the first few chapters of the Bradley way for natural childbirth. I'm looking forward to hearing what our instructor says vs what I've read, since it sounds like Lamaze and Bradley followers get along as well as the jets and the sharks.
Honestly, I'll do what will work at the time of delivery. Never say never is about the only motto I have right now.
I got fed up talking with our gas company (they had the wrong address for 2 months, all better now) and broken down and watched Batman Begins this afternoon. It was a good movie. I really enjoyed it. It made me realize, I need to stop watching crappy movies. Given the limited time left before tobo is in the world and consequently eating up every waking hour (and some of the non-waking ones too) I better get hopping. What movie should I watch before I never see a new movie again for the next 16 years? I like dramas and fiction more than comedies and romances, and ideally it would be something that has been made after 2000. (though good old classics might also be worth looking at) Any thoughts?

What's a movie? Is that like something on da TiVo only too long to stay up for?
All I can think of is skip Transformers, no matter what Aaron tries to tell you. ;)
No work guilt! You will look back fondly on these few weeks. I had actually been hoping for more bed rest. :)
As for movies, I have only seen about 4 in the theaters since 2004, so I really can't help you there. Although I just re-watched Pride & Prejudice (the A&E Masterpiece edition with Colin Firth, delicious!) and enjoyed it.
