Today I was reminded by a coworker that I need to take another side-view picture of my belly. I've been slacking! Used to be so good at documenting the inflation process... Oh well! Here I am at 37 weeks. My coworker took this picture in the lobby of the building I work in. Face is a little white from the flash, but the non-flash picture turned out blurry. Whadaya do? I guess this is the best my posterity can hope for at this point.Also, that I went to the doctor this morning. Next week I'll go again--it's WEEKLY now! Still everything is normal. AND I found out that Claire is facing DOWN, which is a good sign, of course. AND I found out that the epidural guys are REALLY good at the hospital I'm delivering...the one who's least experienced has been doing it for 10 years, and one of the "experts" can actually get an epidural up and running in less time than it takes to knock someone out with the happy gas! That's pretty good! AND my doctor said that she's only seen 1 side effect--a spinal headache, that is supposed to occur in like 1 in 500 people--but based on her experience it's like 1 in 1,000.
Ok, and now I have to say that...you know, people keep telling me that I look "so good" pregnant, etc. and I say "yeah yeah" becuase I feel like a whale or a cow or anything huge like that. BUT today at the doctor's office, it was sad----I think I was the ONLY ONE wearing makeup among the girls who were in the waiting room. I was also the only one dressed fairly normal...they were all wearing sweat pants or baggy jeans...basically, "frump-wear." SO, it made me feel a little better, and now I know why people keep saying that I look "good" becuase apparently a lot of women, especially at my stage, have kinda given up... One thing I'm just plain LUCKY with is the fact that I haven't swelled up all over...I can still wear these, my favorite boots: (and was wearing them today--yes, the only one there wearing heels at the doctor's office)
But, hey, I'm wearing them for good reason. These black capris I wore today are for SUMMER. BUT, in the winter, to make them work, you can wear boots with them and they look fine. All in order to make sure I save money on maternity clothes, meaning, wearing the same 4 bottoms with different tops throughout the week. Jordan, honey, you should be proud of all the money I'm saving you :)

Yay 3 weeks to go!! cna't wait to see this baby :)
Looking good!
Love it, Janessa!! Yes, it seems that lots of pregnant women don't keep up the makeup routine and granted, it can be difficult and somewhat pointless during pregnancy...but it always made me feel so much better! There's just something about having your makeup and hair done, and then wearing some killer boots like you have...37 weeks pregnant or not, you just FEEL better!
u look gorgeous!
Sexy and Pregnant--who knew that all you needed was a rockin' pair of boots.
Yeah I didn't look any different with makeup than I did without at that point... you look great! Those heels would have made me trip and die though, you are pretty cool for still being able to wear them. Remember Janessa, it's still not too late to change your mind on the epidural... you are so excited about it, but you can do it without!! Women's bodies are made to have babies! The pain is worth seeing your little baby a million times over. :)

You always look fabulous!
