A couple of friends have lent me summer maternity wear so I now have more of the stuff than I have regular clothes. Included in the enormous selection of stuff is a pair of black shorts.... which I am (gasp) WEARING. As shorts go, they're rather nice, they're longish and tight on the thigh in the manner of cycling shorts (without the nasty lycra) and quite flattering from behind. I could not have forseen myself wearing shorts at 8 mths of pregnancy, but stranger things have happened I guess! Of course the legs are not wonderful, they look podgy and not brown enough yet, but if I put a pair of high-ish sandals on I can almost pass for glam mum to be.
I'm feeling extremely exhausted at the moment. D has several billion more of the pox than yesterday and is obviously a little sorry for himself and just wants to be sitting quietly watching TV. He woke at 3.30am (after I'd managed to drop off only at 1.45am) wanting a drink and needing some kiddie Tylenol as he was slightly feverish, and then stayed awake for quite a while. And of course, then decided 6.30am was late enough to stay in bed and mom could you please wake up???
I also had a rare moment of 'the house needs tidying up a bit' this morning so that's added to the current exhaustion level. I'm definitely going to hire a Molly Maid before the baby comes to get the place into order as the bigger I get, the less I feel inclined to clean.
