I kinda felt like just hiding in the shadows yesterday.
The only reasons I left the house was to pick The B Man up from school and return a DVD from the library, all in one trip.
I showered late and didn’t eat very much. There’s not that much room left.
My body is tired and big and crampy and hormonal and yes, there was some crying.
Tim came home later than usual and although the boys were being pretty good, I needed a break from them and their constant energetic selves.
Dinner was one of those frozen casseroles, popped in the oven. All I had to do was hit a few buttons and open and close the door.
I’m running out of steam.
Is this a pity party? Maybe, but not really meant to be. Just the facts.
I’m so ready and a little sorry to be wishing my life away… but I am. Baby day just can’t get here fast enough…

Wendy@RuensOnTheRun says
Cool picture! You’ve almost made it – I agree the end is the worst part.
Erin M. says
You are allowed to be tired and miserable at this point. and I love the photo in the shadows. She will be here soon. You can do it—take deep breaths and give in to the frozen dinners. Everyone will survive. You are such an amazing wife and mother—cut yourself some slack.
Jaimee says
Hang in there Elaine! She will be here soon!
Kat says
The end always gets so hard. Hang in there!
Jessica says
Ugh. I remember those days. Tough! My sister is due end of November and so she’s entering these too big, too tired, too everything days herself.
Keep on, keepin’ on!
Krystyn says
That last month..those last two weeks. They are oh, so hard. And, you have two boys to take care of…it’s hard.
I hope you get some relief soon!

I know how it goes.
And hey, at least your family had casseroles. At the end of my pregnancy, we were eating out a lot because I couldn’t be bothered to cook.

Eight more days, and this will all be SO worth it. You’re almost there, hang in there!
Hailey says
Not much longer! Hang in there. I know… it sucks.
Courtney says
I still have 7 weeks to go but somehow i sympathize with you so so much. I remember how horrible those last few days cna be and i pray they move at the right speed for you. Not too fast but fast enough that you dont have to wait anymore. Amazing enough it will all be gone too soon and you will be missing those little kicks in your belly!
