Day 83

I haven't exactly been all smiles lately but this little series of photos seems funny to me. Like hey look at this crazy belly, it's funny!

Why no photos

Well, I have totally lost count of the days, did any of you out there predict that would happen?
Anyway, I'm not really one to complain too much but I am currently on virus #2 with one good day in between.
With dwindling sick time that I was trying to save up for after the baby arrived I have been dragging my sick ass to work and to the doc and home. Richard was sick most of this week too and I have been struggling just to feed myself and make sure he is still alive. In the course of all this I have dislocated a rib and have had is replaced 3 times tomorrow will be the 4th. The pain and ache in my body seems to be my only focus - so, sorry for you seven who are following along with me. Right now I feel like a poster child for teenage girls who think pregnancy is glamorous - not at the present moment! If anyone thinks this is 'just preparation' please keep that thought to yourself, I appreciate the thought but I really don't want to hear it - I guess my sense of humor is sick too.

On the upside, I have a shower this weekend. I get to see lots of friends and I plan to enjoy it because no matter how bad my body feels right now, the babe is doing well and every time I feel it moving around in there I just launch into daydreams of finally getting to hold and kiss and smell and snuggle.

days 53 through 60!

Oh my god! This project is rapidly going downhill. Only 40 days to go.
In my defense I was sick all of last week and the cold still lingers today.
Fortunately I do have a few images to share, so here they are.

day 43 - to day 50

Well, we sort of fell short this week, I'm not sure why we didn't get our usual plethora of photos. Here are the ones that we did get from the last few days. I used a program called Poladroid to get the Polaroid effect, it's really addictive. Here's to the beginning of February and our half way mark through these 100 days. Our anniversary is this week and my birthday is a couple days later. You would hope that that would generate something worth photographing.

See you on day 51.
