Uncomfortable Yet?

After 31 weeks, the baby puts a strain on your immune system and it makes it very easy for you to get sick.. and at my 31 weeks mark, guess who is sicker than a dog? I have a wicked cold and I don't want to take any medication for it because I don't want to harm my baby so I am suffering through it. I've tried all natural remedies, honey, lime and tea to drink and I've been sucking on Halls but I still feel like s**t. Frazer suggested that I put a onion by my bed because he read about that old wives tale that it sucks up at the virus. I have nothing to lose so now I have 2 onions by my bed and I must say when I woke up in the middle of the night I was happy to find that I could breath through my nose. Pretty cool!
The baby has become quite aggressive with his/her kicks and sometimes they even jolt me out of place. I still have no idea when this kid gets his 14 hours of sleep, he sleeps for 2 hours at the MOST every now and than. Frazer calls him my 12 alarm clock because as soon as midnight hits he non-stop moves around and kicks and he will still be awake in the middle of the night and when I get up in the morning. He sleeps for a bit when I'm at work and is back up again by lunch time, but they say an active baby is a healthy baby so kick away child. 
I'm pretty sure I started feeling a couple braxton hicks contractions, all they are is your muscles tightening for about 30 seconds and they happen just at random, it's nothing to worry about said the internet... haha I also started to be able to feel the position of the baby. I am pretty sure he is upside down (they way he is suppose to be) I feel his kicks at the top of my tummy and he likes to stick his bum out which usually I feel in the middle of my tummy or on the right side.   

I can't believe that I only have about 8 weeks left to go until I get to meet my little bundle of joy. I am happy I've kept busy with 2 jobs this whole time, it really has made time fly also it has put a nice amount of money into saving for when I wont be working. I am going to do my best to get another 6 to 7 weeks of work in before I become a stay at home mom. I wonder if I'll get bored staying home all the time? I'll have to find a hobby of some sort I think. I've never had a hobby because I get bored of things very easily and end up not wanting to do it anymore. For example, I started scrapping booking my own baby album... 3 or 4 years ago and I haven't touched it since.

I do my best not to complain about being pregnant or try to be a drama queen about it, but here is a list of not so nice thing about being pregnant: 
  • Hair grows fast and thick...every where. And I am talking about on my tummy (I know what you were thinking I was getting to) I have a layer of fuzzy fur on my tummy and I think it looks awful.
  • You can't shave your hairy ape legs after 30 weeks.
  • Sometimes its days before you poop.
  • You will feel like a broken record when answering people's questions about your pregnancy...When are you due? Do you know what you're having? Are you uncomfortable yet? & How are YOU? << what they are really asking is the previous three questions.
  • There are moments when you just want to say "f--k it, I'm pregnant." and just sleep.
  • Holding your pee is not an option. 
  • Google has saved me from many trips to the ER because I am constantly worrying about something.
  • If you don't drink enough water you will feel like camel lost in the desert on a very hot day.
  • Speaking of hot day, everyday feels like a hot day to your feet.
  • Ever felt like you were outgrowing your ribs? Well you will when your ego is prego.
