living large

This was taken yesterday. 32wks along. I am usually reluctant to have pics of me taken while pregnant, mostly because i reckon i just look fat. But I like the idea of this sort of photo that focusses in on the bump (and totally removes any chance to bemoan the double chin...). I think I would have liked to have been organised enough to get a pic like this done every week...or perhaps just every month. Maybe I'll just do it for the last 8 weeks instead...as I enjoy 'living large' for the last time (God willing!).

Is it just me, or does the whole world seem overly political at the moment? Perhaps I have noticed it more as I read some blogs based in the US...I am definitely more interested in this sort of thing as I get older, and sometimes feel quite frustrated at the outcome of elections. I take for granted that I can vote (thanks for the reminder of what it cost for that privilege michelle) but probably still don't take enough interest. I know a lot of people are very glad to see the outcome of the recent US elections. I don't have a strong opinion either way, but am cautious about the 'changes' that seem so inevitable from the outcome. I believe change is good and necessary, but would have preferred Obama take a different stand regarding abortion. Perhaps I feel more strongly about that as I'm pregnant right now...anyway, I don't want to start a political debate, just thinking out loud I guess.

I stayed home from work to rest again today. Allowed my body to completely reject the bug the boys tried to share with me this week. I feel absolutely 100% better tonight than I have most nights over the past 10 days. And I am so grateful. Pam had my class too which was really cool. And they dutifully impressed her. I have a witness now that I'm not exaggerating about how spoilt I've been at work this year! lol. So glad you had a good day Pam :)

Have a good night all - I'm off to spend time with my wonderful man :)
