"Whine" of the Month Club

For my birthday last year Derek bought me a subscription to the wine of the month club from Napa Valley. It was the best present ever because every month for six months we would receive two bottles of red wine from different vineyards. When the wine would arrive, we would open a bottle that night and have it with dinner and put the other bottle in our wine case. Ooh......... the days of being able to sit down to a good glass of wine. I miss those days.

Therefore, I decided to start a new "whine" of the month club. First, I want to say that Derek and I are very blessed to be able to have a little girl and we realize how lucky we are to have a happy, healthy pregnancy so far. That being said....... this last week has been tough. I can't sleep throughout the night because I have to go to the restroom every two hours. I literally have a hard time breathing and I am starting to make really attractive grunting sounds when I move. And........for good measure, I have started to snore at night. Add all that to the general uncomfortableness of being 36 weeks pregnant and I am exhausted and Derek is a trooper for still wanting to be around me. I wanted to throw myself a pity party yesterday when I was at the doctor; however, there was another woman there that was 39 weeks pregnant and she looked miserable. I started to think that I didn't have it so bad, and then I realized that I would be in her shoes (or flip flops because her feet were so swollen, and yes it was extremely cold here yesterday) in another 3 weeks. Bring on the violins and pity party balloons.

It is times like these that I wish I could go back to the other wine of the month club and get nice and toasted on a nice bottle of red wine.
