36 Week Pictures

I added some pictures to the "My Pictures" link that Mike took of me today.

Some thoughts:
1) Yes, I'm eating a chocolate marshmallow bunny in one of the pictures. I just wanted to let you know what I've been doing the past few weeks....eating. The doctor told Mike to feed me anything and everything, even if it's junk food that I normally wouldn't think to eat during pregnancy.

2) Yes, I've gained a lot of weight (though I haven't hit the 'whoa, slow down' mark yet). My doctor still wants me to pack on the pounds until the baby grows some more. My thoughts are that I should take advantage of the doctor telling me to eat a lot. I'll gain weight for the baby, it's a mother's sacrifice that I'm willing to do. The baby will just have to learn to enjoy riding in a jogging stroller after she's born.

3) Yes, I am standing in the pictures even though I'm on bed rest (which means I should be laying down and never standing up, right?). Here's a little secret: I'm still allowed to use the bathroom (no bed pans (I still have a little dignity)) and I can get up to take showers, brush my teeth, etc. So I conveniently grab the camera and have Mike take pictures of me before one of these trips.
