In the words of my friend and co-worker Amanda at Olson Communications... a Top 10 List for "How you can tell I'm ready to get this baby OUT!"
10. Dana considers underlayers and tank tops optional and lifts them off or up by day’s end.
9. Dana shows up with a pony tail more than once in a month.
8. She sighs with joyous relief – as if receiving manna from heaven – when putting on a headband that pushes the hair off of her face.
7. She is so visually chaffed by seeing people with baby-free bodies in non-maternity clothes that she asks the team not to wear belts or anything that indicates the existence of a waiste.
6. She makes an afternoon habit of sauntering down the office midway, barefoot, with a look of sadness and purposelessness, staring blankly into the cubes.
5. She considers sleeping the least fun part of the day.
4. She greets office mates with a mildly irate "I’m still here" vs. a bubbly "good morning."
3. She slouches so low in her chair, she’s almost prairie-dogging at her desk.
2. She falls out of her chair, and considers going to the printer a long-distance commute she cannot imagine making -- but feels bad about it and sort of tries to get out of the chair until the nearest Olsonita tells her to "park it" and scoots to fetch her docs.
1. She considers sex to be too much work – and admits it freely to the peanut gallery.
