Dr. Appt.

Everything went well yesterday, Dr Shima is impressed that I'm still showing no signs of preclampsia or gestational diabetes. My Blood pressure is rock solid, the swelling in my ankles has reduced rather than gotten worse and the braxton hicks contractions are still nice and irregular. He did give me a prescription that I have to take every 6 hours that takes away the painful braxton hicks. I am excited for those to be gone! And he also reduced my work schedule from full time to no more than 6 hours a day, 30 a week. Needless to say I am super excited to get a little extra time to sleep!!! Now if only he could con my teachers into reducing my homework load! ;)

Well, I have people coming over tomorrow...so I need to get my house cleaned and go look into buying a new fridge (long story short my fridge was my brothers and he just moved into a place with no fridge and wants his back - boo to having to buy a fridge!).

Almost 31 weeks...

so obviously, I am still big as a house. Thankfully, time seems to be FLYING by and I am hoping that means that I have these little guys sooner rather than later. I really am very over being pregnant at this point.

I had maternity photo's taken by Mirelle Carmichael this week and will post those as soon as she gets them to me (she said 2-3 weeks).

Before you ask - yes, FAKE HAIR in this picture....I am in desperate need of real extensions, but lacking that I used the clip in kind. The length and body help balance my poor distended proportions.

I have my dr appt today, I am really going to ask the doctor about putting me on limited duty or bed rest. I am having all sorts of icky pregnancy issues (swollen ankles, braxton hicks, and worst of all they are so heavy that i have to pee every time I stand up!!! its no bueno.

Well, I should get back to work...

I am currently mourning the loss of my ankles...

I am...

so tired of being pregnant.

seriously, so over it.

on the positive side, I bought brand new running shoes for the minute that I am allowed to exercise again and my Medifast came today for as soon as I hand these babies over to their daddies. Hopefully I will be able to post shrinking pictures every couple weeks just like I am posting growing pictures now. I am so ready to be normal again!

29 weeks big

only 11 weeks to go....Dear God I hope I don't make it that long!!!

The Belly Pic as Promised...

This was last night. SO HUGE:
This was this morning. Still house sized, but much more reasonable:


As I have said before, anyone who claims that pregnancy is beautiful is full of crap. This isn't attractive. Thank god I am almost into my last trimester. Thats right, in case you have forgotten I am 27 weeks today. Do the math. Don't worry, I'll wait! Thats right, 13 weeks left until these little buggers are full term. Thats 13 more weeks of growing. Can you imagine??? I can't.

Belly Pic to follow soon

But here is proof that I really am big as a house. Me on the right, Ina the malnourished twig on the left and the cute little blonde is Erin who is 7 WEEKS FURTHER ALONG than me. Thats right. I'm a house. FML.
