The "Plan"

Well, yesterday we went to the doctor because we thought my water may have been leaking. I was checked out and there was a hint of it leaking but not nearly enough to warrant going into the hospital. (I didn't really think anything was going on, but Mark wanted to make sure for his own peace of mind) Anyway, since we were in the doctors office we went ahead and scheduled an induction for Friday the 22nd. So if she comes before then great (I personally don't think she will), if she decides to wait, then we go in at 7:30 Friday morning. To say the least I know that both Mark and I are ready for her to come and for this uncomfortable pregnancy to be over! So we'll keep you updated!

My poor feet!

I am so ready for this baby to come! I am absolutely HUGE! Last week at my doctor's appointment we found that the baby had turned! Yea!!!!! So we are very happy about that, with the added bonus that my iron levels went up! I guess the baby isn't growing as fast, so my iron levels aren't as drained. So all good news!

This baby is a mover and a shaker, she does not hold still for long and she favors my right side. There are many times where there is tons of pressure on my right side and I look down and I am totally lopsided. Mark can tell if she is on my right side from across the room! I call my feet elephant feet because they are extremely swollen. My sister-in-law was a gem and gave me a pedicure on Saturday. I've wanted one, but I've been so embarrassed by my elephant feet that I haven't done it. So a big thank-you to Cassandra!! My hands are a little swollen, but I still had to take my wedding bands off, so I now where them on a chain for a necklace.

I have a doctor's appointment Wednesday. Hopefully she has stayed put and not turned again, and I really hope she has dropped some. If not, I guess I'll just keep pluggin along! Hopefully soon I will have some baby pictures to post! Cross your fingers!
