don't feel well

I've been feeling sick and yicky lately a lot of the time. Largely this is due to a higher than average amount of pollen than is typical for this time of year. Also, none of the cold or allergy medicine I can actually take right now does any good. I might as well pop a couple of Skittles and call it medicine. mmmmmm, Skittles.... No!! Bad!

Trying to stay away from too much junk. My total weight gain for this pregnancy as of my last doctor's appointment was only about 7 pounds, which since I am so overweight already is a good thing. I am trying to keep it to 10-15 pounds at most. Baby is growing fine, I'm just not gaining much. Speaking of pregnancy, my due date is 8 weeks and 6 days away. Not that I am counting or anything...

I'm really looking forward to having this baby and being done being pregnant. Permanently, as I plan to get myself "fixed" after this one. I love my kids and am happy to be having another, but this is it. I am done. I always wanted to be done having kids by 30 and I'll be 30 about 5 months after this little one is born. I know, a lot of people don't even start having kids until their 30s, but that's just not for me. I have literally been a mother or at least and expecting mother my entire adult life. I would like, when my children are all old enough to be out on their own, to still be fairly young and to feel like I still have time to do a lot of the things I can't now. Like drop everything and take a spur of the moment vacation or weekend away without having to plan it around kids. I'll be 47, almost 48 when this kid turns 18. Works for me. Does that make me sound horrible and selfish? I hope not.
