Well…we made it to 37 weeks….officially she is a full-grown baby inside my belly. Thought I’d post a picture of what my view is…..that’s what it looks like when I look down…I have to struggle to see my feet!
Last weekend my sister and I went and had a pedicure….it was fantastic….and even though I can’t really see my toes I know that they look great….other people will be able to admire them in the hospital and I’m sure the nurses appreciate the little things that we can do for them =) Not to mention that the spa foot bath and rub was wonderful. My feet….well really my right foot especially are swollen and look like big balloons…as if the indignity of getting used to all your clothes not fitting wasn’t enough now my shoes barely fit. I wear sandals almost everyday. I am SO glad that I work in a casual environment…I can’t even imagine what office workers who have to wear suits and nylons do in this case!
After the pedicure we went shopping to target and I bought myself a new purse (see to the right of the picture =) This is where I can say motherhood has begun…..I found the cutest little green “leather” number….it was adorable…hot green…small…perfect for spring and I have nothing like it. Then I realized….when in the next couple of years will I EVER be able to use that purse? Can I fit diapers, a bottle, a toy, snacks AND my wallet and phone in there???? NO…..So, after carrying it around with me for a while I set it down and waved good bye to my carefree shopping days (for a while at least) and picked up the over sized (but still fashionable) tote….A.K.A. diaper bag. I still like it, and I know I will use it…and maybe in a few years when hot green comes back into fashion I will be able to go back and get the other one =)
Greg returns from Asia on Sunday morning….he has been very sick while he’s been there which would be so miserable! Of course while he’s been gone the plumbing in the house totally has blown….it always happens when he’s gone….then I’m left trying to decide whether to wait for him to return or whether to make a decision to act…knowing that my decision will most likely not be what he would have done. At any rate….under advice from his father…a plumber is on the way.
And since Monday my mom has been here. It’s been great. I get home and every night she has dinner cooked and waiting for me! What a life….she does my laundry, makes my bed….It’s so nice of her to do all that and man, it’s been so relaxing for me….not to mention that the house is clean so I won’t worry about having to do a bunch of clean up before Greg get’s home…aaaaah….mom’s are great!
All right…signing off….I’m back to the Dr. on Tuesday…all is still good in the hood…..time is ticking away and really she could appear any day (especially once greg returns!)
You are too cute! Can’t wait to meet TLP
