So, I did it. I took a picture of myself within minutes of waking up. I'm not a natural beauty in any way, but boy...taking a picture of yourself at 6:32 a.m. is quite the harsh reality. It made me feel bad for my poor husband. That's what he has to roll over and see every morning???!!! Ick.
Anyway, my vanity got the better of me and I cropped the picture so that you can only see my lips. The rest of the picture was more than I could bear to post on the world wide web. In any case, you can get an idea of how swollen my lips are the last few mornings. You can also see the puffiness in my face in general, but my lips are normally not that large. I called Brenda to tell her and she wants me to come in tomorrow. She's going to send me home with a blood pressure cuff and wants me to monitor it throughout the day.
It's gonna be a long 6 weeks...

I'm so sorry things are so hard right now! Please keep us updated. (And just remember, fancy women pay big bucks to get big lips!!!!)
I thought you looked great on Sunday, the last time I saw you. Andy is lucky to have such a pretty wifey!
SoCal chicks would be so jealous of those lips! Seven weeks from now this will all be a bad dream, and you'll be holding the cutest baby boy. Just think, you'll have great horror stories to tell other newly pregnant moms! You can do it.. you're almost there!!!
how strange that your lips would get swollen. on the plus side, some people pay big bucks for those lips!
so sorry things are tough right now. it may seem like you'll never get to the end, but you will. and then you'll find yourself someday wanting to and willing to do it again (maybe). :)
so is the swelling and the puffy lips a possible sign of high blood pressure?
and our husbands never see us the way we see ourselves. and that's a blessing on both ends!
You look like you have a pouty mouth! SO NOT NETTERS!!
Any chance you have been eating a lot of salt lately to add to the high blood pressure? My lips get puffy whenever I eat out because my body isn't used to salt...
