38 weeks

tick tick tick.....

I really had to fight the urge not to chop my head out of these shots. I swear I don't feel like I look bad until I see pictures. ha! (Of course it doesn't help when we keep taking these right before bed...)

My swelling went way down and appears to be staying that way!  I'm so grateful not to have balloon feet anymore.  It looks and feels like E moved way down too . Nowhere else to go at this point!  Last week the midwife guesstimated that I will give birth to an 8 lb baby (who was guesstimated to be 6.5 lbs at the time -- I'm guessing at this point, a week later, we're at a solid 7.)  Guesses are just guesses, though I'm anxious to see how close she got.  She said that E still had some room to grow and that I was still carrying pretty high.  It will be interesting to see what they tell me tomorrow...

  

If I make it to tomorrow still pregnant, that is! hah. I think I've still got a few days, but these things tend to happen on their own time.  It would be nice if my sister was able to make it here before the birth. She will be here on the 25th (a week from yesterday).  My personal birthdate guess has been the 24th since early on. That's only a few short days away!

We've been pretty busy this week.  Working, spending time with friends, and on the duplex hunt. We saw one that we liked a lot today, but we're planning to view a few more this weekend before we make any decisions.  Since we're not moving until October, there's no rush... though it sure would be nice to have that all squared away before the baby comes!  (I probably just jinxed that idea!)

Well, it's almost 10pm and mama is ready for some sleep!  A lot has changed in the past year.
