Lots of posts today! I'm catching up on all of my baby book stuff and picture albums for 2010 & am finding so many pictures on my camera.
Here's a picture of me at a little above 38 weeks right before the baby shower. I can honestly say that I'm beginning to feel really uncomfortable. My sister in law had twins and I am in AWE of what she had to have gone through. I have so much respect for her! I feel like I can't breathe, eat, or function normally. It sounds pathetic, I know. I'm achy and can't sleep at all. I don't mean to complain, but it has definitely been harder than I expected! I am also beginning to swell up in my hands and feet- I thought I had passed that point. I'm even swelling in my face now--total bummer! You may see some double chins in the pics from here on out- ha! I'm sure you can even see a difference in the pic below!

At my 38 week appt. we had an ultrasound and found that everything is okay with our sweet baby boy. He has just dropped so much and that is the reason why he is measuring small now. Also, my urine test came back okay this week, which is a relief! I'm currently 80% effaced and dilated to a 1. Doc said he'd be surprised if he saw me at the next appt (which is tomorrow--bummer!). He wants to talk about inducing me tomorrow. I'll be 39+ weeks by then and since the ultrasound shows that everything looks great and the babe's already almost 7 lbs, everything should be fine! I'm so excited and humbled at the thought of becoming a mom. It still feels so unreal. If I have my choice, I'll get induced on Monday. Monday means that Chance can miss the most amount of work and the hubs and I can spend one last weekend together. Also, it's conference weekend and it would be nice to get that in before the baby comes!
