Four Weeks and Counting Down...

So this is what week 36 looks like on me...


I have dropped a lot over the last week or so and can feel the head 'engaging'. It is not the most comfortable feeling but it is exciting to know that the 'bean' is progressing as needed to make it's big arrival.
We still do not know whether our baby is a boy or girl, but we love imagining what life will be like as we sit and watch the nightly belly bumping that occurs on a regular basic. Some names have been picked out but nothing set in stone unto we meet our new family member.

It has been more difficult do accomplish the little things lately. Like tying my shoes or just getting my shoes on in general. And then there is the issue of trying to find a pair of shoes that still fit as my poor tootsies have been swelling up like little piggies. Not a pretty site when I do get to see them. And my poor ankles and calves are competing to see who will get the biggest faster. But I keep saying that I am very blessed to have had such a healthy pregnancy without major complications. And the reward in the end of all these new and strange changes will be worth every swollen moment. We can't wait to meet you little one...

I hear you on the shoes thing - putting them on is the worst part of my day! I can't believe how soon the next phase will arrive!
