Pregnancy Has Never Been Sexier...

Just when I thought pregnancy was at its sexiest, it proved me wrong. This week I entered the world of:

1) Aaron having to get me dressed in the morning from the waist down because I can't get into my pants or underwear myself.

2) Aaron having to rub lotions and creams in places I can't reach...and he probably wishes he couldn't reach either...(I'll leave it at that!)

3) Aaron had to cut my toenails for the first time because there is no hope in me getting down there.

4) Two words: Compression stockings! I have graduated to the world of knee-high, flesh colored, old lady compression stockings because my swelling has gotten so bad. To top it off...Aaron has to put them on because they are very tight and I can't bend to put regular socks on, never mind compression stockings. They make me look hot! ;) See below...

5) Next on the sexy list: leg shaving. We shall see how this goes...

Love this past week has taken on a new meaning...for both of us. Aaron has shown his love to me in ways I couldn't even imagine he would have to. He has gone out of his way to take care of me, run errands for me, make sure I'm feeling ok, and pressure me to get off of my feet and take care of myself. I have had to let go of a lot of things and lose the control of my day that I so often try to have. I've had to get over the fact that I might not be running and doing something productive 8 hours a day...and that is OK. I have had to be OK with the idea of having 10 things on my "To Do" list and only half of them getting done. I guess this is probably a preview of my life over the next few months/years.

Thanks baby for helping me out with everything. You have been AWESOME! I couldn't have asked for a better partner to go through these last two weeks with me!

Here's to labor....soon hopefully...
