This week has already been very long for me... I finished up working at the bedside, started my grad course for the semester and managed to come down with a very bad cold. Starting maternity leave has been a blessing, especially since my research methods course this semester is way more than I bargained for. It is very busy and very boring which isn't a great combination if you ask me! It will be a challenge for sure and we all know I love to tackle challenges!
Then there is this wicked cold... I managed to have a great time doing some random shopping and errands with my friend Kristin on Saturday, but I could tell I was coming down with something because I had that disgusting feeling in the back of my throat. No amount of airborne could have prevented what came next... 3 solid days of misery. Being 9 months pregnant isn't so bad anymore now that I have been bed ridden, coughing my brains out and unable to breath through my nose! So I guess it is a blessing in disguise because my swollen legs and waddling self don't seem to bother me nearly as bad anymore!
After sleeping in until noon today, I have managed to have a pretty productive day back at life even though I still don't feel up to par. I got my dirty house cleaned and tons of laundry done. Bryan and I also had "pregnancy pics" taken. I can't wait to see how they turn out... our friend Kenzie did them and she is so talented! I'm just excited we managed to get them done before baby Emme came along!
Then tonight we had Bryan's parents up for dinner; apple pork chops, baked taters, and asparagus. All that was missing was dessert (unfortunately) which I am craving as I am writing this. Maybe I can talk Bryan into going and getting me something since there is nothing sweet and unhealthy in our house right now... hmmmmm.
I guess the only baby update at this point is that we only have one week left until our due date and our next OB apt in Thursday, so keep your fingers crossed that there is some kind of progress!
