I don't expect to "love" labor, but I'm definitely getting to the stage where I'm ready to be done being pregnant. I've had it relatively easy but now walking IS hard. Getting to the office (walk to train station, ride train, walk to work) each day is very hard. My husband has been riding the train with me (we both work downtown but he usually drives) so he can carry my bags and walk me to work!
I will probably gain about 40-45lbs total. A lot of it feels like water weight. Very uncomfortable. And I'm sort of sick of all these maternity clothes.
I'm not far from Joliet---it's actually where I grew up! Tinley Park is about 20 minutes from there.
Hmm..the mirror thing sounds interesting. Did you have an epidural? I'm actually looking forward to the hospital part---hospitals don't freak me out. I had bad asthma as a child and was in and out, not to mention peanut allergy attacks, and weird things like collapsed lungs. So I'm actually pretty comfortable with tubes in my arms and surrounded by nurses and doctors. Does that make me a weirdo?
Oh and tell me more about spitting--like, you HAD to spit more or you spit accidentally more? Because I'm definitely experiencing a surplus of saliva and I don't know what to do about it!
