Low energy

I'm having a tough time getting used to not having as much energy. I only ran a few errands but now I'm worn out. I'm also finding myself thinking of my due date as the apocalypse. I'm stocking up on everything like there's no tomorrow. Today I bought diapers and wipes and some of the items I'll need to pack for the hospital. It is making all of this seem more and more real. I know I'll be able to leave the house, but it will be more of an ordeal. I keep thinking of that Honda commercial a few years ago when the parents load the entire nursery into the minivan for a trip. I can see myself doing that very same thing.

It may be my imagination, but I feel like people in stores are noticing my belly these days. Today at Curves a lady exclaimed, "You're getting big!" I'm trying to look at that as a plus! It has been tough for me to see myself gaining weight, but I know it's only temporary. My doctor said that I can return to Weight Watchers and Curves six weeks postpartum.

I have another prenatal appointment Monday and I'm looking forward to seeing if the baby has moved. He's been breech throughout my whole pregnancy. I've decided he's laid back like his daddy and just isn't getting in a hurry. :) It may be in my mind but things are feeling different these days so maybe he has started heading south. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Dr. Watts says not to worry until week 36 and I'm 33 weeks now.
