Large And In Charge

I know, I know. Bad blogger. But look, when I get home all I can think about is .....well.....nothing. There is something so spectacular about zoning out and doing nothing before I pass out at 9pm. Which by the way is now my new bed time-AGAIN.

Thanks to Danielle for the AWESOME shirt which I couldn't wear until now. I had to put my hands on my belly because the profile just looked like a twin sheet stretched over a full size bed. I thought the effect was better represented with the help of my hands.


Speaking of hands, mine have now taken on the form of small link sausages. I surrendered my wedding rings awhile ago and was surprised that the hands went first. My ankles do get swollen, but usually by the end of the day. I wake up and go to sleep with the sausage hands-they are here to stay.

My most recent doc's appnt was very positive. My blood pressure was good, I got a swine flu shot and drank the dreaded orange soda. I don't know if I passed the "sugar beties" test yet, but we'll see.

I also had my baby shower which was fantastic, but I don't have any photos of. They wouldn't let me take any at the shower, but no one has sent me any and no one has posted anything. So sorry if you wanted to see that, there are people holding them hostage and I have no control over that. We got so many great things and it was a lot of fun. I was a little nervous going into it that I wasn't going to get anything which I know if completely ridiculous. I guess people look at the registry and then go buy stuff other places. Because I got items from my registry, but not from where I registered. So you can imagine my panic when I check the registry the day before and next to nothing has been purchased. Now I have so much stuff I don't even know what to do with it all. It required a trip to IKEA to figure out how I could Swedish-ly organize everything.

And finally, we are very close to finishing the nursery. We have some friends coming this weekend for some last minute home improvements to the room. My wonderful friend Carly spent tw o days in a row drawing and painting Dr Seuss characters on the wall and they turned out AMAZING! Here they are-she may do one more once I get all the furniture in place!
