Ladies, it’s week 34 of your pregnancy! In just a couple weeks you’ll greet that special little guy who will become the light of your life. Unfortunately the next five weeks will be more of the same, you’re tired, can’t sleep, out of breath and not yourself.
At week 34 of pregnancy you ladies need to sit down and relax. You’re tired; don’t try to do anything other than watch Princess Bride on DVD. If Princess Bride isn’t your thing then you may need to check your estrogen, because every woman loves that movie.
The other day we saw our favorite 5 year old neighborhood boy and asked him how school was. He replied, stopped to play with some rocks, stammered, continued his story and threw an acorn at a tree. It was a distracted, rambling response that reminded us of Mommy Mojo. The only difference in that situation is that Mommy Mojo sometimes throws acorns harder than a 5 year old.
Mommy Mojo said it’s difficult to concentrate and that she’s easily distracted now. It’s easy to mock, but there are so many changes going on inside those pregnant bodies. The person is somebody that you know and love, but they are behaving just a bit less than normal.
On the side of our house is an area where small privet bushes and other rouge plants grow. Mommy Mojo and I were relaxing the other day and she suddenly said, “I’m going to get an ax and go chop down those little trees”. I’m all for my wife doing yard work, but preferably not when it’s 95⁰ and she’s 8 months pregnant.
Not to be outdone she snuck up in the attic to take down the fall decorations. She was caught when some of the decorating foliage appeared. “Sweetie, were you up in the attic”, I asked. Like a person on a diet caught eating chocolate she confessed to climbing the ladder and bringing down boxes of fake plants, while 8 months pregnant.
The accepted rule in the Mojo house now is that she can’t life anything heavier than a soda bottle; even if it’s to life up an ax to cut down something for decorating.
