Back in Action (and 36 Weeks)

Okay, the insanity of December in a transactional law practice is over, and I am easing myself back into social media.  So, I have plenty of things to share with y'all, but let's get the scary part out of the way first.

I'm nine months pregnant.





You can really see my moon-pie face in this one.  I have either begin to swell due to pregnancy, or all that country ham I ate the other day.  I can't believe I am putting these pictures on the world wide web.


Anyway, I am feeling as good as one can when they have an extra 28 pounds attached to their midsection.  The baby "dropped" Christmas day, and I have felt much more comfortable since. 

The whole "New Year, New You" line is taking on a entirely different meaning this year.  My beloved convertible has been traded in for a more car seat friendly wagon.  I love my new ride, but it was a bit of a shock at Target the other day- parked in the expectant mother spot (along with eating Frito's, it's a luxury I will soon be without), and threw a bag full of toiletries for the hospital and baby stuff in the back of my mommy mobile.

Good thing it is so pretty.

Had a great (last!) appointment at the high risk doctor Wednesday- the bean is growing great! Looking like this baby is just a late bloomer like its mama (there is a reason why pictures of my adolescence are not posted on this blog, friends), and will be a normal size when it makes its arrival.

After being hammered with pre-term labor warnings,  I am not dilated yet at 36 weeks, which is wonderful.  My procedure is tentatively planned for the 26th, but I'm sure that will change after one of my now weekly doctor's appointments.  My bag is packed, so I am ready.  Nursery is not quite there yet, but hopefully after this weekend. . .

Anyway,  I am so excited to catch up with all of you!  Fill me in on Christmas and New Years!

  10. First off, you look great! Not puffy at all.

    Second, love your new ride. I wanted a wagon SO bad, but we live on the crazy hill and they all scraped trying to get into our driveway and garage. :( I ended up with a boring sedan...

    Hope you can get in some last bit of pampering and quiet moments before your little joy makes their arrival!

  13. You are one of those gorgeous pregnant ladies I aspire to be. I can't see the puffy face at all either! Your whip is too cute and the bean will be so safe in that car. So glad things are going well. I've been checking in on you to see if there was any news yet. Best wishes for smooth sailing!!!

  20. We've missed you Ms. Sass! Glad that y'all are doing well! LOVE that coat you are wearing! Most pregnant women couldn't pull that off. Hang in there sister!

  21. You look fabulous! Seriously, 28 pounds is nothing compared to what I gained and I'm sure you can breath much easier since the baby dropped. I have the same baby mobile! Mine is a champagne color - it's a good car.

  22. Ahhh, I'm finally here! I've had this post bookmarked on my phone since you wrote it because I had to comment that YOU ARE THE CUTEST THING EVER! Seriously. Ever.

    And love the new wheels! I have an embarrassing love for wagons and hatchbacks. Yours is adorable!

    Just like you. CUTEST EVER.

    Way too many exclamation points and caps for one comment.
