39 weeks oh mi

Photos from Asher in 2009.

let me preface this with....Philip definitely did not have the same photo rules back in 2009 than he does now. he makes me square my shoulders and hips to the wall so that i am straight on. you can tell in 2009 i was totally twisted to my advantage to make me look smaller with my top on.

but OMG....

i am HUGEEEEEEEEEE

high and huge... you would think i have two babies in there i am that much bigger this time around.

 unfortunately i am still miserably sick. my blood pressure was up from being sick and the meds, im retaining water from the crazy amont of fluids im ingesting, the meds are making me constipated... all not a great combo in the last week of pregnancy. going on day 6 of sickness. after 2 sick OB appts with a ridiculous over the counter regime of meds i broke down and went to a regular doctor. the doctor couldnt believe all of the stuff they had put me on this far along in pregnancy.. uh yeah 38 1/2 weeks pregnant at the time.

they took me off everything except affrin and tylenol as needed for aches and put me on an antibiotic for a sinus infection. within 24 hours of taking the antibiotics im already feeling major improvements. i sound horrible, hoarse, congested and i felt even worse. my throat felt like sand paper and my ears were constantly popping. definetly not ideal this far long in pregnancy. hopefully the meds will do the trick just in time for the little man to arrive.

friday the 13th is my last day of work. i can not wait. i will be off until thanksgiving and could not be more excited about having this time off. im hoping that i can make it till my due date next week so that i can have some time to myself to relax and attend a few day time events planned for next week for asher, temple etc. clearly i have no say in any of this, but time will tell!
