35 Weeks...

...and from the front I look almost normal (even though I've gained an incredible, ROUND 30 lbs). THEN comes the side view. It looks like I'm smuggling a basketball under my shirt.



I went to see Dr. Cowan this morning (from here on out I'll be going every week). I've been told not to show apartments while at work and not to do too much of anything. If I need to go to HEB that's ok, but I shouldn't be going to HEB and Target, and the mall. Apparently I need to take it easy and avoid strain which can cause me to go into early labor. Fine by me, I'm too exhausted lately to do much anyway. Plus, mother nature thought it would be funny to not only make the last month or two of pregnancy extremely physically uncomfortable, but also to kick in a little insomnia to boot. For the last month, at least, I've been getting up every 1-2 hours to make a bathroom trip...the new deal, is once I'm up I have a hard time going back to sleep. Supossedly this is to get me ready for being up with the baby all through the night.

So if you happen to be the next person to tell me to "get sleep while I still can" please accept my apologies now-I cannot be held responsible for my response, be it verbal or physical :o)
