Watermelon

I just can't get enough of it! Normally, I like it, and I'll eat it if it's there, but it's always been one of those high maintenance fruits that you have to work a little to eat, which is a bit of a turn off. Seedless watermelon significantly decreases the work factor, but it still has to be cut. So anyway, it's been surprising to even me how crazy I am about it! I could pretty much eat it all day long. And I kind of do.

Also, a watermelon is about what it feels like I'm carrying around in my belly all day long. We took this picture yesterday at 37 weeks (officially "full term" people). I'm just getting bigger and bigger!

Speaking of bigger, my belly's not the only thing that's getting that way... I am swollen! I have to wear flip flops to work because none of my shoes fit, and I canNOT get my wedding ring off. (Just check out that chubby hand!) I've tried everything! Cold water, lotion, soap, wrapping my finger in saran wrap and trying to grease the ring off. I'm getting nervous that I'm going to have to cut it off to save my finger! Fortunately, though it's too tight to come off, it's not really uncomfortable yet, so I'm waiting on that fateful visit to the jeweler until (if) true discomfort begins. Any miracle tips on how to remove a ring from a swollen, pregnant finger?
