Still pregnant

I think at this point that title speaks for itself. I don't feel a lot of need to further elaborate but I will take this opportunity to apologize. Sorry I have been bad at calling/texting/emailing back. I appreciate all of the messages and I also realize that these days "How are you doing?" roughly translates to "Are you still pregnant?" so although I'm being a bad friend I am at least answering the most pressing question.

I still have good days and bad days and on the good ones I make every attempt to get out of the house for mental health. The bad days are spent in bed watching Gilmore Girls. Sounds dreamy under any other circumstances and I'll spare you the details on what is making it not so dreamy.

I won't spare you this detail, however. My newest symptom (I didn't know you could keep getting new symptoms at this late stage) is apparently due to the baby sitting on a nerve. All it takes is one shift in movement or a swift kick from him and a shooting crippling pain flies down my thigh. The best part is the pain is also accompanied by temporary paralysis. Oh, and it's only in my right leg. Seems really safe to be driving eh? Stay off the roads if you live near me!!

On second thought, if you do live near me and you have a sweet tooth it might be worth risking your life and driving to my house. My other latest symptom is an uncontrollable urge to bake. We have an abundance of pumpkin spice muffins, brownies, peanut butter and white chocolate fudge, etc. etc. Please come eat it all because if I keep this up baby will never want out.

Ok fine, a real one. Even my doctor laughed and told me I look ridiculous.
