About 2 weeks left to go. Wow. This is how I know I'm getting close:

Feet swelled to dinosaur feet. Can't clench them all the way. Rings no longer fit.

Walking in the streets, you get those sympathetic looks with ladies who cheerily say "Almost time!". The men always say "Wow, you're huge!". But strangers noticing that I'm almost ready is really scary.

Stretch marks are climbing up up up my stomach. they are so gross.

Last week of work in the office. whaaaaat?

Hormones are busting out. I am very cranky, have no patience. But I am also sleep deprived. I am a big sleep person. I love my sleep. But I have not slept through the night in over a month. I guess this is good practice for when the babys here.

When I see people, they say "next time i see you, you'll be a mom!". this is also scary! Earlier in the month at my cousins wedding, relatives were wishing me a good delivery. OMG. time is flying. I probably just saw my in-laws for the last time yesterday before they have a new grandchild.

Anyway, i am getting excited and anxious. every week at the doctor, i hope for some big progress. so far, just a fingertip dialated and 50% effaced. nothing to scream home about.

So on another topic, i have been getting annoyed when i go to the supermarket and look for popsicles with no sugar added. I want just a real fruit bar, with no additives. The no sugar added ones are filled with splenda or nutrasweet. So, I decided to order some molds online and just make my own posicles.

Thank you to edible .... jae brought home some watermelon and pineapple and i used my frozen berry mix for the last layer. I pureed all of them and poured them into the mold and voila, sugar free, natural popsicles. I just need to make them prettier. the watermelon part is my fave.



we also finished our patio... well, the guys we hired finished it. haha. im excited about this. once i assemble all the furniture and gazebo, i will post more pics!
