And the swelling has begun...

UGH!!! My feet are HUGE! It happened overnight. I didn't swell when I was pg with Landon, only after. They hurt really bad. Stairs are NOT my friend right now. I might go get my BP checked just to make sure everything is ok there. I am TRYING to keep my feet up as much as I can, but it's so hard when I'm chasing Landon around, and to top it off my house is a MESS and it drives me CRAZY! She will be here in a little over a week, and I still have so much to do around here. Everything for her is done, I just need to clean and do the last grocery shopping trip before she comes. I also need to make sure all my bills are paid and such.

I am drinking as much water as I possibly can, but in turn I have to get up and pee more, which hurts on feet and back. So I'm kind of just stuck...I have to keep telling myself 'only 9 more days...'!

Full Term!

Yep that's right...Miss Kennedy is full term now! She can come into this world ANY DAY now and not have any problems(hopefully)! She will most likely have 2 more weeks in her 'home', then she will upgrade to a BIGGER home! I am READY for her to be here! Only like 12 more days! I am getting a little anxious about Landon. I am worried about how he will be while I am in the hospital and when I am recovering at home. He is so used to me doing EVERYTHING for him. Ray doesn't realize how much is going to have to help me with him.

I wasn't feeling too good last week. I started having irregular contractions Thursday evening, but they didn't last long. Then I got dehydrated Saturday and was having a lot of cramping. Once I drank a lot of water I was fine! I am ready for the numbness and joint pain in my hands to GO AWAY! It wakes me up at night and drives me crazy throughout the day! I didn't have this with Landon.

Like I keep saying...Ray is ALMOST done with her room. Right now he is caulking all the new trim then he will change out all the outlets and light switches. I CAN'T WAIT to move her stuff up there...it is taking over my down stairs.

In 3 weeks...

...I will be holding my daughter! YAY! Today I am TRYING to get a lot of the last minute stuff done. The main thing is getting the house ready...I don't want to worry about a dirty house when she comes home. I still need to buy some nursing bras/shirts, and misc baby stuff. I also need to cut/color my hair and get some waxing done. Maybe I can do that next week.

I'm feeling a lot more lower pressure these days. My belly is getting HUGE and I only have a few shirts that still fit. I have a Dr appt Thursday and he said he would measure her to see how big she is. I think she will be about 8lbs...I hoping smaller, but I doubt it. I am having trouble sleeping...mainly because my hands go numb all the time. It is driving me crazy!!! They do it all day long as well. My fingers are starting to swell a little bit...I can feel it and it hurts sometimes. I am TRYING to drink a lot of water during the day, but I get busy and forget.

Her room is ALMOST done..the only things we have left are painting the wains-coating and trim and put up new doors. I am READY to start moving her stuff up there. Ray ALWAYS waits until the last minute to get things done. I really wouldn't care, but I'm not going to be able to go up and down the stairs for a few weeks after she's born, so I want to make sure everything is where I need it to be.
