Still here...still pregnant

I am 37 weeks pregnant, and feeling it. Very uncomfortable, lots of aches and pains and ready to get this baby out. However...we're in the middle of a freak snow storm here in the Seattle area. We have about 6" so far and they're predicting 6"-12" tomorrow. Which means I don't want to go into labor since they don't plow here (not really worth it to invest in plows and equipment when it snows maybe once a year.) We had to put chains on our tires just to get out of our neighborhood and to the store today. So if I do go into labor, I have to take an ambulance to the hospital. Which, as exciting as that sounds, I don't want to do that.

Apparently on Friday we are supposed to have temps back in the 40's and rain through the day and weekend. So we will hopefully be able to get out then if anything happens. But I missed my weekly massage appointment this Monday due to the snow. And I missed my OB appointment today for the same reason. And I really needed my massage since I'm so uncomfortable right now.

Sitting around the house is beginning to drive me crazy too. There's only so much reading, watching tv and online time you can have before it starts to drive you batty. And I know once the baby arrives, I'll be doing a little of that in the hospital, as well as when we get home, since the baby will most likely sleep a lot. But I'm definitely getting my fill if it now and I'm going crazy with all of the inside time.

Hoping the snow goes away soon, and hopefully I don't go into labor until this weekend...
