Ok, so we are officially 38 weeks pregnant, and I’ve gotten a little behind on my updates.  I will try to catch you up.  We are going to the Dr every week now, so that is fun.  It’s fun to hear how she is growing and changing.  They check how far I’ve dilated and if the baby has dropped.  As of the last appointment neither of these have happened.  So, we are just waiting for her to be ready to come out.  I’m feeling more uncomfortable and more pressure, but I guess that is to be expected when you’re carrying a child.  I keep thinking it might mean something relating to labor, but who knows.  =)  The baby room is ready, we have our stroller and car seat all set up and ready, the clothes and blankets are washed, and we are getting the house cleaned.  We are excited to meet our new little one.  Here are a few other symptoms, stories, highlights, and more from the past few weeks.

-My ankles have continued to swell and get more and more disgusting.  The Dr check them every week, but since my blood pressure and protein in my urine are fine, she is not concerned.

-Since my birthday weekend my right hand started to go numb at night.  Now, it is staying numb and achey all day.  Not fun!

-Heartburn continues, but milkshakes really help.  =)

-I’m going to the bathroom all the time.

-April 15th I had to take my wedding rings off and start wearing them around my neck.  This was a sad day.  It feels so strange to not have them on.

Here are some pics from the last few weeks.
