The final countdown — it is on!

OK, I've officially made it to October so it's go time, baby! 
In honor of my last few days of pregnancy, I wrote this song. I thought I'd put forth some extra effort, especially since this might be the last post for a couple weeks. Please note my seesawing, hormonal affections towards my husband, mostly based on whether or not he's giving me food at the time, obviously.

On the 2nd last day of pregnancy, my high blood pressure gave to me two puffy cankles.

  2. I just sang this instead of reading it. It was definitely much better that way. This is amazing and I will probably be singing the melody in my head all day.

  4. Shit. According to numbers 2, 6, 9, 10 & 12, I'm knocked up. But, according to this empty bottle of wine, I'd better not be. #teamwine

  5. hahahahaha this song is hilarious! Happy PUSH Day, I know I know, I have 3 kids, I was trying to be polite and positive.
    (I had skin tags when pregnant, too, not a fan. I literally cut one off with scissors. I don't recommend that method.)
