So, you know how I took off work today and spent ALL DAY lounging poolside (or rather 19 pools-side) with the husband, sipping on peach and mango smoothies, and getting various spa treatments and massages? And getting complimented ALL DAY by strangers on being a "cute little pregnant girl?"

You didn't?

Well I did. And it was wonderful. I recommend starting every weekend this way.

And before you decide to hate me, please remember that I'm due in ONE WEEK and will very likely spend next weekend in the throws of hard labor squeezing another human being out of me. The exact opposite of today. So be nice. When that time comes, I will have totally earned today.

Photos to come. Maybe.

That is the best part of living in California- being pregnant. People love you. When I was pregnant with Jack and I worked at a car dealership, my fellow employees were so kind and respectful to me. The salesmen always bought me bottles of water. The service mechanics made sure to put out their cigarettes when I walked by. And the office girls never let me lift a finger. And then random strangers were genuinely happy for me. In Utah- completely difference story. No one gives a damn. If anything, they roll their eyes that I ask for help loading my groceries into the car.

Good luck as you prepare for your baby. I have 3 weeks left myself.

hahah that previous comment makes me laugh because that is how I feel in mormon land. So many Pregos around that we are just another one. But at my office I was like the only one and seriously being at work in Downtown LA or anywhere in the regular day to day errands people were so very nice and treated me like I was so fragile.

Enjoy the last few moments!

I'm glad you got some sunshine in - I also took the day off - of course today is a national holiday 4/16 don't ya know (the day past 4/15 for taxes)

Just so you know I have been checking your blog daily, ok, sometimes several times a day to find out if you went into labor. I am so excited! The anticipation of what your bean is has me going nuts.

I want to see some pics of you all cute and 9 months pregnant. Maybe you will change my mind from today and I will reconsider having a third someday. :)
