Thirteen Days!

That's all that's left! That's not even a fortnight. I am lucky to be done with work... we had spring vacation this past week and starting next week my doctor advised me to stop work. She didn't have to tell me twice. Work was making this whole pregnancy thing just so physically difficult, between the stairs and walking all over the building and picking up difficult preschoolers and being on my feet for hours at a time, I was a wreck by the time I went home. So now I am officially on maternity leave. The timing is perfect... I am getting too gigantic to move around without killing myself. Witness the hugeosity for yourself:

Things are getting ugly. You're lucky I cut off my head from the picture!

Had an appointment Monday. The results, in short form:

1) my protein is up
2) my blood pressure is alright
3) the baby is ridiculously active
4) I've got nothing going on in the labor department

So I am hoping we actually get to May before I have to have this thing.

Danny has been awesome, helping me cut the tags off of things and wash them before the baby comes and organizing the baby's room. We still have a lot to do -- including countless thank you notes for everyone's massive generosity -- but we are close enough that if the baby came tomorrow we would be alright. Loosely speaking. Really loose.

  2. I wonder if you can hold out until May 20th cause I don't know if you can handle a Taurus baby - if not, pray for a boy. :)
