hurrah for working from home for 2 days! i actually get a TON done when i am at home. it is pretty remarkable for me. PLUS, that extra 45-60 minutes of sleep from not having to commute really makes a difference in my ability to sustain full thought processes early in the morning. i could get into this.

i was supposed to work from home today and thursday but apparently, there is a surprise shower for me on thursday so i will go into the office.

i ruin surprises. it is near impossible to surprise me. although, i should say that in this instance, they could have done it - i have to ask permission to work from home. all that my boss' secretary would have needed to do was say "gee, s* says thursday she needs you here for an important meeting..." and i would have stayed.

so this is shower #3. shower #1 was compliments of partygirl and gingi and was SO very me and SO very NYC. irish pub. guinness. incredibly yummy food. my friends from the city. very fun. very much what i miss the most about being pregnant - no social activities like that usually. the smoke is usually too much, i have to sleep early, etc. it was really really cool to be able to go hang in a bar for a few hours, even if it was a sunday afternoon and therefore, a bit tough on the friends :)

#2 was the family one at cape cod. hosted by cubiclegirl and my best friend from high school. very cool too in a totally different way. lots of my mom's friends (my aunties - just like someday there will be aunties for the monkey!!!) and my nana's friends. also. lots of people who shop regularly at outlets and baby stores for their own grandkids so it was a windfall of clothing and blankies and towels. it was really really nice.

i was kind of surprised since i normally hate showers :) i liked both of them. maybe i hate wedding showers.

so i have like 6 weeks to go, give or take. something like that. i am feeling really physically uncomfortable - knowing there's more discomfort coming before the whole birth thing...i am tired already. i think i was so brave to think i would work through the end. i doubt i will do that now. getting on the subway is just PURE EXHAUSTION. by the time i get to work, i need a nap.

but when i am not working, i feel really good :)

the baby has run out of room and is now shoving and kicking and pushing at all sides. you can see it expanding left and right, up and down. and it doesn't feel so sweet and cute anymore.

COME OUT MONKEY. COME OUT IN 4 WEEKS!!!
