– Campbell ate something he probably shouldn’t have, because yesterday he had THE WORST dog farts. If you think normal dog farts are bad, his were eleventy-billion times worse than that.

– As a result of said smelly farts, he woke me up 4 times last night whining to go outside because of a case of mudbutt.

– That’s enough talk of dog farts and poop.

– Today is my LAST DAY of work before maternity leave! I’m happy and sad at the same time. Yesterday my lovely co-workers presented me with a card and little something as a parting gift. I’m going to miss these people! It’s going to be really weird not going into work Monday morning.

– I had my 38 week doctor’s appointment yesterday afternoon and baby is head down, which I find hard to believe considering how much she moves around still. I get an internal exam (TMI??) next Friday to see how things are progressing (whether or not I’m dilated or effaced yet) IF I MAKE IT THAT FAR says my doctor. Thanks for the vote of confidence, doc!

– I have grand plans of heading to my hometown tomorrow for the big rodeo celebration. I’ll be travelling with my mom, but there’s this nagging voice in the back of my head saying I should stay home. Ugh. It’s only an hour drive away, and I’d really like to see some of my family who’s visiting, but when my doctor says shit like “If you make it until next Friday” to you, it’s hard to decide.

– I got a pedicure yesterday and it’s nice to have my big, chubby feet all prettied up. At least they’re fun to look at now.

– That’s about it.

– My boss announced his retirement yesterday. This makes me sad because he’s an awesome boss! It will be strange coming back from maternity leave and having a new boss … But – c’est la vie! I wish him all the best in his retirement, which begins in September.

– Speaking of maternity leave – including today, only 6 more shifts at work until I’m off!! I’m so done with being a work pregnant. It’s too much work getting up and walking across the office, and I’m just more comfortable at home.

– I would like to point out that stating your vehicle is “lady driven” as a positive when trying to sell it isn’t actually a positive, or at least not in my mind. Not to sound all anti-feminist or whatever, but some women really do NOT now how to look after a vehicle. Hell, even I’m a dumbass sometimes. I’ve backed into things, ran dangerously low on gas, didn’t bother to check my oil until the “Check Oil” light came on … Seriously – “Lady Driven” isn’t a good thing!

– My immediate co-workers/the people in my department, took my out for lunch on Wednesday to one of my favourite restaurants (a total coincident) as a send off/congratulations lunch before I go on mat. leave next week. OMG, I’m still drooling over how amazing my lunch was! Scallop pasta in a creamy white sauce – AMAZEBALLS. I ate so much, I pretty much had to be carried back to the office. (Almost – a lovely coworker gave me a ride back)

– My internet at home died while I was writing this post. Thank goodness for auto-saves!

– Here’s a story of convenience: My doctor works at my hometown’s poor excuse of an ER on various weekends (My hometown is actually where he started out as a doctor in the area way back in the day). The biggest event of the year for said hometown is next weekend and I wasn’t going to go because I’m afraid of going into labour while I’m there. Coincidentally, my doctor is going to be working in my (our?) hometown next weekend, most likely because of said event (It’s a rodeo – injuries are inevitable). I may just have to go to town afterall! Yee-haw :)

– Kyle and I busted out the wedding cake we had saved from when we got married (it’s traditional to save the top and eat it on your 1st anniversary!). Amazingly, it was still really good! It didn’t get dried out and the icing tasted even better, lol. We were pleasantly surprised.

– I’m sure I have 100,000,000 other things to say but I can’t think of them. Pregnancy brain FTW.

What are you weekend plans?
