Random with a Capital "R"

Seat warmers are in my new car - WOW. Toasty buns, specifically, MY toasty buns, are my newest favorite thing.

More than 3 co-workers have commented that I am moving slower down the hall these days...I have no doubt "the waddle" is in my near future.

They could film Seinfeld in my kitchen - I have 8 boxes of various cereals. At what point should I be concerned - 9? 10? 11 boxes? And who knew Cocoa Krispies on top of vanilla ice cream was so delish? Um, yum...

Before I grasped that Halloween was five weeks from my due date, I had thoughts of being Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc. (thanks Nelle!) but, well...really? That would have required, oh I don't know, E-N-E-R-G-Y. Ha!

The Lactation Station at Rex hospital makes me think of Schoolhouse Rocks! Dare I write lyrics? If it's a double dog dare...

For those days after my sweet girl is born when I am doubting every fiber of my being as to whether or not I am a good mom, I have a list of shows to watch to reassure me - any of the "Real Housewives of [INSERT CITY HERE]" series; "16 and pregnant" on MTV; "I'm Pregnant and...[INSERT ANY NUMBER OF ABSURDITIES HERE]" on the Discovery channel; the first half hour of any episode of "Super Nanny;" and reruns of "Married With Children."

I am sleeping much better these days...now that I realize I am simply expected to take naps through the night, not actually sleep through the night, it has been much easier to handle.

At my last appointment, the nurse informed me that the doctor would check to see if I am dilated at my next appointment. Wait - what?!

On a last random note - be kind to every pregnant woman you encounter. At some point during her pregnancy, around week 35, the baby flips and positions her head directly on her mommy's bladder. And when the baby moves, the bladder is headbutted. [I'LL GIVE YOU A MINUTE TO PROCESS THAT FACT.] Ironically, this is about the same time the baby is packing on the pounds, adding to the pressure on mommy's bladder. Did I mention this is week 35 in my pregnancy?
