So close yet so far.

It is July 20th, 2.5 weeks from my due date and he is still in there hanging out. I am so anxious for him to make his entrance. I hope he doesn’t come late. I am so tired of being uncomfortable! I never thought getting up and down out of a chair would be so difficult! or taking a shower or sleeping or getting in and out of a car or walking around a store! Needless to say I feel ready. As ready as I am going to get. I am getting moodier as well. I am crying a bit more often and just get fed up with things easily. Goofy people be gone!

I am still walking four times a week (for an hour/ about 3 miles) and overall I feel alright, I am just ready for the next step. Pregnancy? Been there done that. Now I am ready ( I hope, oh, I am. ) for labor and delivery.

I will be staying with my parents starting on the 29th and hopefully he will come shortly after that. It’s closer to the hospital and the hubby works closer to their house then ours so I will be quicker to get too if need be. Then there is after he is born I will be staying there as well, I’m sure I will be needing help getting adjusted to my new baby boy and the healing of my body.

Here’s a few pics of me still pregnant as all get out!

My baby shower.

My baby shower was so much fun!

Almost everyone I invited came! We played games and ate tasty cake! People came that I have not seen all year. I was so appreciative of all the people celebrating the arrival of my upcoming baby boy! My mother decorated her home and we all had a great time. I got so many precious and useful gifts. One of my favorites was a fisher price rainforest mobile for the crib. I got a baby tub, lots of clothes, a diaper bag and a lot more great stuff. Overall it was just so wonderful to see people that I rarely get to see because I live in another city an hour away. Now onto organizing all this stuff! I’m going to need to get rid of my stuff in order to make room for his stuff. Much needed stuff to get rid of, so no big deal, just got to get to it!

My feet are sausages!

On sunday (7-29) my feet were swollen all day. They swell every once in awhile and I can usually get it them to go down if I put my feet up, but since Sunday they have not gone down. I guess i can be grateful that the swelling just started with “only” five weeks to go. My hands are starting to get puffy too but they generally get better after being awake a few hours but sometimes I can barely bend my fingers to write something down! My ankles some hours are unrecognizable. Today they are actually okay. It is less hot today so maybe the heat has some to do with the swelling. I will post a pic of my “summer sausage” feet after I get one down loaded.
