We’re Havin’ a BABY!

They say that the third trimester goes the slowest.  Well, whoever “they” are, they’re wrong.  The last month has flown by like nothing else, and I can’t believe there are only 5 weeks & 5 days left until my due date.  I feel like I’m on a speeding locomotive that’s gaining speed and the breaks are busted!  Yikes!

Perhaps it’s because of how much I still feel like I have to do to get ready for this baby. Or more than likely it’s the insane amount of work I have to do in my job before my last day comes around (August 29).  I have an insanely huge project to complete (been in process since January), 2 orientations (3 days long each) for Short-Termers departing for Africa this month, all of my regular tasks and duties (which by themselves are normally enough for 2 people), AND 3 weeks of training Megan, my replacement.  All while Bonnie (my boss) is away for the month of August, and all to fit into 4 weeks. Ha! I’m trying SO hard not to be stressed out (I know, I know, it’s not good for baby, etc. etc.).  Seriously though, I could use a few extra weeks!!!

To top that all off, I am starting to get worried that this baby is going to come early.  Probably just because I so don’t want it to. AND… I’m finding it so hard to concentrate… my mind is all over the place.

*I can do it* *I can do it* *yikes!* *I WILL BE FINE*
