Salt

Sunday
39 days to go
My body is overcome by b-i-g.
Say what you want about it being a beautiful natural thing.
Pelvic pain bites.

Bertha better be cute.
She better be worth it.
Cause this past Thursday
Dr Blume took away my salt.
And gave me blood pressure pills.

No more Queso
or Alfredo
or Wavy Lays

I went straight home and shoveled in 69 tootsie rolls.
Then watched as my phalanges and cheeks and chin inflated to balloons.

So I drank 6 bottles of water
and peed 85 times.

Then I vowed to meticulously take my vitamins.
And eat yogurt.

And be a good mom.

So I bought how to Train Your Dragon
Sprinkled cereal, fruit snacks, and popcorn around the house.
And took a nap.

See what happens when someone takes away your chips?
Green peppers strips just arent cutting it.
I need me some Chinese.
sodium infused garlic pepper beef please.
in 39 days.

Oh girl. We must really like babies, because this part totally blows.

Um, let's just say that my "bed rest" lasted two days until my doctor gave up and induced me because my blood pressure was soaring.

Just make it a few more weeks. Then eat a bag of chips and have the doc take your blood pressure. Then Bertha will be here before you know it. :)

Oh I so remember these days like it was yesterday!! Yes it has been 9 months but It totally sucks hard core!!! She will be worth it though just remember that! Like Shauntel said give it a few weeks and then go on a salt eatting binge and she will be here befor you know it. Make sure you be safe with it though and dont put your own health at risk!!

Oh man!! No more salt? I'm so sorry, that's gonna be hard! But you can do it. Bertha will be gorgeous, just like the rest of em! Hang in there.

No fun, but you're getting there! I love your hair!

I know this wasn't what you were going for by posting this, but...

You look awesome (and I can say that and mean it because I too am large and in charge prego!) 39 days - Dang! So exciting. What will it be like to be able to think of it in days...hmmm

Oh well - you just keep looking awesome like you do for the next 39 days and I will eat salt, and ice cream for the both of us!

Just think 39 more days and then you can go crazy with all the fun crap food you want FOREVER! Well until you are old and the Dr tells you you might die if you keep eating that crappy. haha :) Can't wait to see this little lady! I hope she is as cute and chunky is M! Love her rolls!

jaesi said...

Definitely not looking for compliments....just agreement. We've all been in this stage. the "cooked" stage and the timer is still ticking.

S Club Mama said...

It's hard those last few weeks. I remember what my face looked like with Tristan...lips all swollen (although I don't think you look very swollen). With Isaac I was luckier and only swelled maybe the last week (just in time for family pictures yuck).

Rachel said...

She's totally worth it. The last month takes forever and is definitely the hardest month to get through! When you think your belly can't stretch another centimeter, it goes ahead a stretches another inch! We love How To Train a Dragon! Naps will do wonders. Sneak them in whenever you can!

Janey said...

Yeah, the last two months drrraaaaaaggg. I know none of the "hang in there's" and "you look greats" make it better, but that really is a cute picture! Haha, love the sprinkle-food-around-the-house comment.

Emma said...

if they took my salt away I'd go crazy, good luck my dear.
i hope those next 39 days go quickly for you so you and all your dreams of alfredo & queso can be yours again.

By the way, I had this huuuuuge, salty, swiss and mushroom hamburger on Saturday with lots of really salty fries. Oh man, it was good. Thought you'd like to live vicariously through me. ;)

jaesi said...

mushroom burgers are my FAV! I would never pass that up- Id just get a side salad :)

McKinna said...

DANG!!! I wouldn't be a happy camper either if someone took away my chips.... nope. I'm with ya...

oh, & p.s... she will be PERFECT.

Staci said...

Ah that would be tough! You just keep the laughs coming Jaes. I just love ya! I wish I had your wit and humor. Of course baby will be darling... have you looked at your other children?!?

Jessica Wille said...

haha...jaesi you crack me up!! Sorry you lost your salt:(

Unknown said...

Dang. Kelp powder is a salty tasting minus the osmotic properties of the real stuff (tastes like dirty ocean water too) Yum-o

Hang in there
