The "Watch Pot" never boils

My title says it all!  I feel like the pot of water that you sit there and stare at waiting to boil so you can throw the noodles in but it feels like it takes FOREVER!  HAHA.  Today I entered my 39th week of pregnancy and that is truly ALL I can think about.  It could be any day now that we get to meet this little bundle of joy that I have carried for these 40 long weeks (technically not 40 but you know what I mean).  We get to see if Baby Carney is a boy or a girl, who he/she looks like, etc.  For the most part I still feel pretty good (slight swelling of my feet and fingers but nothing the dr is worried about)... I think the hardest part is the anxiety and anticipation/ this waiting game we have now entered.  Yes my feet swell and last night my back was killing me but that's minor compared to what some people go through.  At this point anytime I say anything about being done with being pregnant I feel like people think that I am ungrateful and that is not it at all... HAHA... I am just tired of being pregnant.  I keep getting comments about "be lazy now, you wont have any time to be lazy after the baby" "rest now because soon you won't get any rest" "don't be so hard on yourself, the baby will come when it's time." I get what these people are saying and value (almost) any advice that people want to give me but I can honestly say that I am probably (actually I know I am not the only one) not the only one that has these feelings near the end of their pregnancy.  It is not that I have not loved being pregnant, actually pregnancy has been VERY easy for me.  No morning sickness, never threw up a single time... no high blood pressure, no bed rest, no scares, etc.  I still love feeling my baby move, all of the hiccups, punches, stretches, etc  But after 39 long weeks of being pregnant, not knowing if "its" a he or a she, not knowing what they look like, etc I can honestly say I am 100% ready for this baby to arrive!  It is not me being ungrateful or griping about pregnancy it's just me being ready!  So here is to the waiting game..... here is to the over sensitive woman that has come out in me this week where I pay close attention to EVERY movement, pain, twinge, etc just hoping that means "its time." HAHA  I have this week off school for Thanksgiving break so I have plenty of time to lay around and rest, be lazy, etc if my mind will stop telling me that there is SO much that I could be doing.  HAHA.  I can not wait for Thanksgiving... I have been craving Thanksgiving dinner for weeks now!!!!  and I can not wait for this baby to be here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
