**peeks from around corner**

I have to admit I was one of those crazy women who loved being pregnant. I didn't swell up much and while I did get warmer than typical, it was winter in Cleveland, so it wasn't a bad thing at all. I only gained 17 lbs but I'm a bigger than average woman to start with.

However, the last two months were the hardest. I love to cook and it was so hard to stay on my feet long enough to make any kind of decent meal because I was just so damn tired. I was also thoroughly annoyed with all the build up to the baby. Get the baby here already! I think all the build up, expectations and people at work saying "are you still here?" that bothered me far more than actually being pregnant.
