Too fat to get into the car... priceless!

ATTENTION faithful readers: I've updated "The Chronicles of Nugget" to include our 36 week picture.
----------
Back during Halloween, I wrote an entry about being too HUGE to get into my car... for reference, see post.

Anyway, IT HAPPENED!!! Luckily, I was with Tim and he just had to back out of the parking space in order for me to get in. Let me explain. First of all we were in Alexandria where space is sparce and it's proven by the tiny parking spaces found in that city and in this case the car was a regular oversized model, however, it was parked within its space.

So far, this has happened three times so far... AWESOME! I wish I had our camera; I'd have documented it.

Growth Spurt!

Just posted my 34w picture (see slideshow) and DUDE... I'm huge!! Little nugget has grown so much in the past two weeks!!!

"picture book, pictures of your mamma, taken by your papa a long time ago..."

So, after numerous pleas for pictures of nugget's nursery, the requests are finally granted. Without further ado (to include to addition of nick-naks and such) we present "Nuggetland."
Alas, due to its small size (and crappy camera), the photos are not super. l'd like to give props to the following:

• Designer/Wonderful person who helped me decide what to do: Buffy G.
• Carpenters (that fabulous shelving that goes around the room): my dad (grampa) and Tim
• Painters: my mom (grammy), grampa and Tim
• Furniture: Craiglist and Tim's undying love of the hunt and the perfect nursery furniture

Yep, you guessed it... l wasn't allowed anywhere near the nursery. (l managed from the remote and distant basement.) Let me tell ya, that was SO hard. l am truly thankful for Tim and my parent's for doing this and l think it looks lovely.l'd also like to include a few other pictures. The first is a picture of the three sweaters and matching hats my mom (grammy) crocheted for nugget. They are amazing and were the hit of the baby shower. She also crocheted a white ABC blanket. Move over Martha!!! (No photo 'coz my camera ran outta batteries.)

Here are some photo's from Thanksgiving (notice the preggo lady with a mouth full of food). (Pictured... me, Grammy, Grampa, Sherry and Emily Pinkard)
(Pictured... Emily, Grandma Pinkard, Nanny Wently (great-grandma), Greg and Jared Pinkard, Tim and l, and Grammy)

These next photos were taken on the day my parent's left. l echo again... blue is not my color!

lt's a wonderful thing...

lt's been almost a month since l have seen Dr. Erica, my chiropractor (Maimonides Chiropractic) and my lower back (sciatica) was letting me know. l went this morning and received a treat. l GOT TO LAY ON MY TUMMY!!! l repeat, it was a wonderful thing! She had a little pillow with a great belly cut out and l laid down... ahhhh, bliss!

(Yes, yes... the "i" still isn't working.. My uppercases are lowercase "L's". We need to send the laptop in but it's hard to go without the convenience of our computer/laptop. Last time we sent it in we were without it for almost a month.)

Ok, next entry WlLL be the review of Thanksgiving and my parent's visit... maybe even a pic of the nursery!! F-U-N!

ln parting, l leave you with this photo of Tim and l at the lSM Christmas Dance... color us giddy!

33 weeks and counting

l've just updated "The Chronicles of Nugget" slideshow to the right with my 32w photo, so check it out. Also, l apologize for the belated blog entry. l choose to share just one excuse... my parents were visiting from Texas and l was quite distracted. An update to include Thanksgiving and my Baby Shower will come shortly.
