Final stretch! My due date is one week from today, so I've cleared my schedule, am almost finished with all my client work, and am on the lookout for signs of labor. I've always felt like this kid will hang out in there as long as possible. So comfy and cozy in there, why come out into the cold world before you have to, right? And cold it is. This weekend our highs are in the single digits and lows are below zero. So if I was an infant, I'd most definitely stay in a warm cocoon with an ambient temp of 98.5°F too. Although next weeks highs in the teens isn't much better. That's what happens when you decide to be born in December.
It's been weird thinking I'll have a different body very soon. Not necessarily my "old" body, but definitely something more what I'm used to dressing. I got away with only getting three maternity specific items, but left most of my non-pregnancy-friendly clothing back in Washington in storage. Anything with a defined waist is down in storage, so maybe in a couple months I'll be able to snag some of that and infuse some different silhouettes back into my wardrobe. It's been sort of nice, though, having a fresh start sartorially.
