8 Months and Counting

This shirt was a big hit during our Saturday errands. Men especially made comments about how funny it was. The count down is on, 6 weeks to the due date (5 weeks to June 3). My ankles started swelling for the first time when I was in Kansas City. I have gotten into the pool several times this week to alleviate this new symptom. It seems to work so far. I had a ton of fun with my old friends, catching up and reminiscing. We had a lot of laughs! I enjoyed getting to see where Grandma Judy has been hiding out for the past two years. Despite a couple of hiccups on the flights there and back, the trip was well worth it!

Everything is going smooth with the doctor visits which soon turn into weekly check-ins. It was confirmed the baby has indeed turned head down from his previous sideways position. The doctor did say, however, that he may not stay like that quite yet. At this point he should start gaining half a pound a week. I'm not looking forward to the extra pressure on, well, everything in my body, but know that he's got to fatten up to come out healthy.

Mike, Sierra, and I are having to adjust to all the changes in the house. It's starting to look like there's a baby in here or something.
