A Few Small Favors......

I have a few small favors to ask as I approach this last week of my pregnancy.

First to the meterologists:
Would it be too much to ask that I see an extended forecast of temps that are.........I don't know maybe around 85 degrees? I recently heard our local weather man talking about a "cool down" in the forecast and I started jumping for joy. Ohhhhh hooray! It's finally going to get back to the "normal temps" for this time of the year.......or so I thought. When I saw the forecast and realized that the "cool down" he was speaking of was 88 degrees, I nearly started to cry! Really?!?! Is it too much to ask that the temps go down to an icy 85 degrees and the humidity lower to around 60% so that I don't instantly have sweat dripping between my gigantic belly and the things right above my belly that now resemble something out of National Geographic?? I swear my cankles get twice as swollen the minute I walk outside. And it's no wonder that this poor child is already showing signs that he/she WANTS OUT!! The poor thing is going to be born with a tan resembling George Hamilton and screaming, "It's like a sauna in here!"

To the makers of public bathroom stalls:
Is it absolutely necessary that you make these stalls as SMALL as possible? I understand that you want to squeeze as many stalls as possible into the small space you're given. And believe me, I do appreciate that when I'm standing in line for 3 hours as a sporting event, concert, Mickey Mouse on Ice, etc. Let's consider this though......how about eliminating only a few stalls so that when a 38- week pregnant woman goes to the restroom I don't have to rub up against EVERY SQUARE INCH of the stall and come out completely covered in foreign ecoli since I can't get close enough to the door (due to my gigantic belly) to avoid the spray of toilet water after the automatic flush that I swear would suck me into the sewer system if I'm not careful! It's just a thought I recently had. Maybe you all can make it happen!

And finally, I have a BIG thank you to pass along!

To the makers of frozen popsicles, ICEE pops, or whatever you want to call them:
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your WONDERFUL product!! I know that each one is packed full of sugar, artificial colors and flavors, but I have to tell you, I couldn't care any less! Your popsicles have become my bribe of the summer for my daughter only because I also want 1-2 each time she eats one. I also secretly pray that she doesn't finish hers so that I get to eat that one! It's sick. I know. But they are absolutely DELICIOUS!! I tend to lean towards purple or yellow, but any color will do! During my labor, I will be offered a popsicle which I will gladly accept knowing full well that it will eventually make its way back up. But in my opinion, it will be well worth it! So thank you again, and I will be sad to see you go in the fall!
