Almost Home....

 Well, as of today we are 38 weeks 5 days and I am so ready to meet our son. I thought I was having a really easy pregnancy ( which I mostly am ) but this last week I started experiencing the fun waddling, peeing every 30 minutes and SWELLING. I hoped I'd get lucky and not swell too much but I was very wrong. After a day at work or even just shopping and running errands, my poor feet look awful! My toes look like vienna sausages and I truly do have canckles. :( I'm trying my best to keep my feet elevated and I'm drinking more water, but it's not helping. I've been told that the only thing that will stop the swelling is DELIVERY. Let's pass that info on to the little one then. 

I had my 38 week doctor appointment this past Wednesday. I gained about 4 pounds within a week, pretty positive that it is all water weight. He did check my cervix and said that I am getting "very very soft" but so far I'm not dilated yet. That wasn't surprising to me. I have YET to feel a contraction or even a braxton hicks contraction. The baby is due the 17th but I keep getting the 19th stuck in my head. I think he likes it in his little womb, he also still moves around quite a bit. While I was in the waiting room for the appointment, I swear he was doing somersaults or something. When the nurse listened to his heartbeat it was A LOT faster than usual, he probably was getting a good workout. :) I don't have any pics as of yet this week, i'll probably just post one on Monday when I hit 39 weeks. Can't wait for this to be done!
