blasphemy & about to P.O.P!

anyone notice what is wrong with this picture???



if you guess correctly i will ship you a bottle of cocoa butter lotion about 3/4 full. but don't bother using it to prevent stretch marks, we all know how well it doesn't work. you'll have to find some other use for it.

so if you guessed that the problem with the picture is that the product is marked "unsweetened" then you are.......

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!

i have two of these cartons sitting in my fridge collecting dust. you can imagine my disappointment when they showed up...via ben with good intentions...i actually tried tasting it & then adding sugar. big mistake. but it was a desperate moment.

in a word, this "unsweetened" mess is blasphemy. blasphemous i tell you. dramatic much? possibly.

but according to wikipedia, and i quote,

"Blasphemy" may be used by extension to describe any display of gross irreverence towards any person or thing deemed worthy of exalted esteem."

and isn't almond-flavored chocolate milk worthy of such exalted esteem? well i for one say it is. so now i'm not quite sure what to do with this sacrilege just chilling in the fridge.

on another completely different note...

here are the 37 week stats & a little photo for your enjoyment/mocking pleasure.



yes it is official, i am huge. and i'm feeling it. and what? is that a stain on my shirt? several actually. thanks for noticing.

wt. gain this month: um, i lost 4 lbs when i got sick a couple of weeks ago and then gained all 4 back so you do the math.

wt. gain total: 20 lbs. now let me just say for you ladies getting riled up (stacey! :) , let's just put this out there. i am 4'11". everyone gains different weight during pregnancies. i was no stick to begin with, so i'm feeling like this is just about right for my height/pre-preg weight. my doctor did ask if i was eating and YES, i am. i get really bugged with girls who don't eat when they're pregnant because they don't want to gain weight. on that note, i will help myself to a bowl of icecream in just a minute.

complaints: my BP shot up a bit this week, which is making me a little nervous. this happened last time & then all of a sudden i wound up on bedrest because i was at the level of having a stroke. not too concerning yet, but just keeping a close eye on it. also i had these crazy painful contractions for about 4 nights in a row, starting at 12am & ending at 6am. i kept trying to sleep during them but i would wake up because my back hurt so badly & my face was on FIRE! there were some serious hot flashes going on.

cravings: well i'm pretty sure i used the words "blasphemy" and "sacrilege" above. that should give you an inkling as to what i am most passionate about lately.

so there you go. i'm a little past 37 weeks and yet still can't believe that i'm going to have a baby. i will save ben the pleasure and diagnose myself with "denial." it still just feels surreal to know we'll have a newborn in about 3 weeks.

Weird to think you're 4'11". I've been picturing you, well, my height and that made me realize I picture all people I only know through blogging to be my height. Interesting. What would Ben say about that? Narcissism? Probably.
(I'm 5'6", by the way)

You look super cute. I hope the BP stays healthy so you can stay upright. :)

you are still so cute! I can't believe you are 3 weeks and counting! I am so excited to see the new little wee one! :) And may you stay healthy until then...no bedrest for you!

Everyone (should) gets (that sounds funny) huge at 37 weeks pregnant -- and uncomfortable, otherwise they'd never want to let that baby out! - At least not if they've already got a child. :) Also, your belly is big, but look at your cute little legs! :) I love pregnant bellies! (I seem to get pregnant legs! :)

So I sent you some fun things today! I bought them on ebay and amazon, so you'll get them at random times and with the packing slips, but who cares, you're getting THREE different packages! How fun for you! Actually two of them are for Caleb and one is for new baby, but you can open it! :) :)

You look adorable! I'm so excited to see this new little lady!

Meghan said...

You are beautiful! No really...you look great. I can't wait to see this bundle of joy and my prediction is that you going sooner rather than later...as in my tarrot cards are reading a February baby. I just really think this Babe will be born in Feb. So having said that, please make the necessary arrangements for someone to update your blog ASAP when you have the baby! I can hardly wait!

You're a hot pregnant Mama! I did not look nearly that good. I can't believe you only have three weeks left. You look great. Good luck!! I'm so excited for ya.

Angela said...

I think you look great! I'm so glad things are going well for you and I hope they continue to do so. Good luck in the coming weeks. Can't wait to see your new baby!

It sounds like you're doing great. You look good, especially for 37 weeks, and I imagine it's quite exciting to be growing so well, considering last time.

You sound nothing like me in the last month of pregnancy. All I want is to get the baby out, and you're being all patient. Growing kids is not my strong point. So good job.

I hope everything stays "normal" for you. Watch out Caleb, this focus is about to shift.

lynsey said...

lol shellee. caleb has no idea what's about to hit him.

Mike and Jenny said...

You are too cute pregnant. Not fair I say :)

Trixy Lovelace said...

You are a totally rockin' preggo lady! You look like a fertility Goddess:)

Joel and Carrie said...

You look so cute. I'm thinking you look so cute that you should just be a surrogate for me from here on out. How about that?
