Hungry, 3:45am

Today my kind boss said that it's likely bonuses will be paid out next Friday, 2/26 and then "I want you to work from home a lot next week. You don't need to be driving up here everyday." Hooray! It was such a relief. I think he's scared I could go into labor at any moment, plus he saw me eyeing his burrito like a hungry wolf. It took everything I had not to knock him down and stand on his chest while I devoured his food.
Later, a woman said, "Wow you must be ready to go at any moment. How much time do you have left?" I answered, "about 2 weeks, but I'm not ready to go, the baby wants to get bigger and I am HUNGRY ALL THE TIME." She and another guy just nodded because no one disagrees with the big bellied lady.




I really am so hungry all the time (even more than before) and it's all I can think about. I came home tonight from work and may have been slightly less than sweet to my husband until we filled up the great abyss which is my belly. We made double decker tacos like at Taco Bell where you have a hard shell and then it's surrounded by refried beans in the soft shell w/ lots of Tapatio sauce.

My dear, sweet husband got me fed, laid me on the couch and a few hours later when it was safe, he re-enacted the event as the cookie monster devouring my belly and arms with lots of noisy grunts. That cookie monster made me look like an angel.

Sometimes I think, wow, maybe I shouldn't eat so much now. But I don't really have a choice in the matter. The cookie monster just had 2 crumpets and 38,000 mugs of milk, and looks forward to a double decker breakfast in a few hours . . .
