Fun Things During Pregnancy (27 weeks, 6 days)

A quick list:

* Putting on socks and tying my sneakers
* Trying to turn around to see while backing out of tight parking spaces in the rental car
* Trying to close the door of the rental when the door is completely open
* Shaving my legs
* Trying to give myself a pedicure (this "try" ended in failure)
* Picking things up at work and getting a lecture
* Getting back to sleep after superstrange, vivid dreams (last night I dualed a farmer with a windshield ice scraper; the night before I dreamt that I made friends with Karl Rove and Condi Rice)
* Trying to eat sensibly during the holidays
* Popping Tums all day
* Justifying a special pregnancy massage Friday afternoon

(The last one was pretty good. The massage therapist recommended by the midwife practice was very kind and gave me almost my full hour despite my being desperately late after being stuck in the infamous "Friday before Christmas shopping" traffic. A 10 minute drive took 45 minutes! I think my favorite part might have been the fortress of pillows she has on her massage table. At least two pillows for my neck, two for my legs, one for my belly, two for my arms and one for my back. I was surprised I could fit on the table. I might just see if I can come back to take a nap on her table!)
