You thought I was exaggerating..

Ok you guys, check out this pic of me at 34 weeks. I have a feeling a lot of you thought I was exaggerating when I would say things like "I need a wheelchair" or "I feel like the obese mother on What's Eating Gilbert Grape"...but do you now see what I'm talking about? I look like an ostrich. I have no idea how these legs hold up this body. I am borderline handicapped...you get the point. I went to my midwife appointment last Thursday, which is now every 2 weeks, and she told me that my belly measures full term. I still have 6 weeks left! And of course, I have a feeling she will be late, just for extra torture. I dont know though, because baby girl seems to be just as uncomfortable as I am. She is constantly moving around trying to find a better position, as am I. I'm not comfortable standing, sitting or lying down. I wish I could just hover weightlessly in the air somehow.
Well, we moved into our new house last weekend...finally! I cant believe how much nicer our new house is than our last. It has every amenity that our old house did not have, and then some. We have an amazing outdoor hot tub that unfortunately I wont be able to use for a while. I've come too far to overcook this baby now. I have been able to enjoy our bathtub, however. I will post pics next time. Right now it is not Kodak ready. I want to get everything organized first. As far as the nursery, we are going to paint it this weekend and get to gettin' on it. Both Aaron and I have hit the stage of nervousness that she is going to be here before we know it. However, I have made it totally clear to baby girl that she is not allowed to come out before my baby shower or during the weekend my mom gets married. I would hate to have to ground her right out the womb! Oh and another happy thing is that I decided to take off work 3 weeks before her due date. The state of California pays maternity leave starting 4 weeks before your due date and then 12-16 weeks after birth depending on if you have a C-section or not. It is covered under disability insurance. I have 4 days to work this week and then 2 weeks that are 3 days each and then I am out of this piece for 4 months! It cant come soon enough.

Oh, also! I am having my maternity photos taken on Friday so hopefully I will have those to share with you soon as well. I am thinking most of them will be belly shots because I do not want to look back at the photos and think "wow, I was one fat mama bear!"
