Inching closer

WEEK 36

This week has flown by... probably has to do with FCAT testing at school.

Monday and Tuesday I came home with swollen ankles and calves. Brian walked in the door and immediately said... "um honey what's wrong with your legs?" Thanks, it's that noticeable (the boy notices any changes though). So he propped me up on the couch and served dinner, not letting me get up until it was better.

I seem to come home after standing at work most of the day, and do things around the house. I need to do them in increments of five minutes, and then rest some. Easier said than done.

Doctors visit went well yesterday. After examining, he looked at me and said... "That boy is definitely head down." Yeah, no kidding, my bladder has been telling me that for the last couple weeks! I also was handed the "What To Do if I go into Labor" sheet. First thing on the list... Don't PANIC (in all cap locks). So what do I do? Call Brian and tell him to meet me at Babies R US, so we can get every last minute thing I can think that we might need. Tylenol, new nursing pillows, the list goes on. I guess when I got that I paper, it really hit that little guy could come at any minute. I know I will still be sending Brian out to get things when he does come, but if he arrived today we would be prepared. (physically, not sure you can truly be prepared mentally until the day actually does come)

You'll have to pardon my self portrait...needed to document somehow today! Week 36 photo
