'real life'

So I semi started real life. Except the fact that I am paying UT for 45 hours of free labor a week. But the 8-5+ hours aren't as exciting as they sound. But I am learning a TON and really am enjoying most of this rotation, so that's a plus.

In more exciting news here are some pictures that my good friend Allison took.


She is amazing, and we look forward to the baby pictures she will take of sweet baby boy! :)

Today

......my feet swelled up to twice their size and my ankles are now 'cankles.'

....I ran on four hours of sleep and felt every minute of it.

.....I realized I am now starting to waddle...and it's not that cute.

....I maxed out on my caffeine dose for the first time ever during pregnancy and baby and I BOTH enjoyed it.

.....Someone told me I looked like I was about to 'pop' for the first time ever.
(and i almost popped him.)

.....and then some random stranger on the elevator asked me when I was due...and I responded with 'well the doctor says any day now...'

and I didn't feel guilty. Not one little bit. Because I feel like a waddling cow with elephant feet. And when the random lady said "how cute are you? I hope my daughter is all baby like you when she gets pregnant." I smiled....and realized my waddling cow days will go away, and those elephant feet will become mine, and someday soon they will be asking "how old is he?" instead of 'when are you due?'
