Full Term

I am now 37 weeks, which is full term. And I am starting to feel it! I can't get comfortable in bed - my back tends to ache and nothing seems to help - pillows behind my back, pillows between my legs - not much works. But, that is okay. Just a couple of more weeks!

And, I must ask what in the world is up with the weather? 70 degrees in December - really? I told Sharon (at work) that my summer clothes didn't fit any longer (the shirts aren't quite long enough to cover the protruding belly) and I may just have to cut the sleeves off some of my clothes! I think my hormones are making me hot already, I don't need the weather to help! Plus is just doesn't feel like Christmas when it is 70 degrees outside. Not that it gets extremely cold in Georgia anyway, but this is too warm!

I have Leadership Newton County tomorrow, so my work will be visiting different health related facilities in the area. Most people at work think I have the day off, but I must say we put in a good 8 hours visiting community places on these days and it can be quite tiring.

My manager is gone for the rest of the year - he lives in Canada and flies home tomorrow morning. So, that means my last 3 days should be quiet. Because when the plant manager is gone, the rest of the office leaves early too. Most of the time I am not included in that because I have deadlines outside of the plant that usually keep me there normal hours (so when everyone leaves I can get my work done), but I have a feeling this time might be a little different! I want to give my replacement the most time possible and answer questions now so that I don't have to answer calls while I am out, so we'll see how early we can leave!

We only had a Christmas lunch this year for work, so no spouses were invited. The lunch was yesterday and the plant gave us the swing for the baby, so that was very nice and thoughtful. I work with a good group of people and am thankful.
