38 Weeks

The end is in sight and I can't believe we've made it this far! My entire body is feeling the pregnancy these days--you know the joke about old people? The one where "I'm so old when I bend down to pick something up I think 'is there anything else I can do while I'm down here?'" That's me these days! Bending over can be quite the chore! My feet, ankles, and hands are swelling like crazy. They were better in the mornings after resting all night, but even now they are swollen in the mornings. My doctor's appointment was yesterday and I'm still 1 centimeter dilated, but the baby is definitely moving down. WOW. WOW. WOW. Soon we're going to have another little boy to dote on around here . . . I can't wait to see what he looks like and how his little personality develops!
