I am finally 37 weeks pregnant! You know what that means? If Grayson decides to grace us with his presence now, he would be considered full term! I think that sounds like a great idea Grayson!
I'm definitely starting to understand why people complain so much during pregnancy. These last weeks have been almost unbearable. My feet and ankles have swollen bigger than I thought possible, I have right plantar fasciitis so bad I feel like my foot is ripping in half, and my left sciatica is giving me fits. Doing everyday, normal things becomes such a struggle when you are this far along. Who would have thought putting on pants and socks would be such an ordeal?!
Don't worry, none of this is so horrible that I don't ever want to experience it again. It is, however, enough to make me wish this baby would hurry up! I love having this baby in my belly and feeling him move around, but I do not love what it is doing to the rest of my body.
On a brighter note, we have had all of our showers and have gotten all kinds of goodies for the baby! In fact, the nursery is all stocked and ready, the car seat is installed, and the stroller is folded waiting in the trunk. I'm sure we have other needs that we don't know about, but that is what we are saving our gift cards for!
I had a doctor's appointment yesterday. I was 60% effaced (thinned) but not dilated any yet. I'm just happy there was some sort of progress!
Now, what everybody really reads blogs for, pictures:
come on Grayson!!
