36 Weeks

Today baby passed his BP in less than 10 minutes - they allow 40 so that was quick. Everything looks great, well, except my tubby feet. You cannot even see my ankle bones anymore - just a bunch of puff. I am usually a size 8 shoe, but I am wearing a 9 right now and even those seem tight. I have a co-worker who is going to bring a 10 to work next week in case I get in trouble. They seem to be worse at work of course because I don't get a chance to put them up and rest. NOT enjoying the swelling. My watch is even too tight at times. I asked the doc what I can do to minimize the swelling and she said nothing but resting will help.

My cervix has not done squat in the past week. I guess that's good since technically I am still preterm right now. One more week and I will be doing anything I can to get this babe to come out of me. I am very uncomfortable and ready to be done.

Only a couple of things left to do around the house to get ready for the baby. I need to sterilize some new bottles and probably my pump parts since it has been a year since I've cleaned them. I need to get a couple of things to finish the nursery, but those can wait. We are also going to move the twin bed out of Hadley's room. I'm not sure where we're going to put it, but temporarily it will go in the family room. After Thanksgiving we will have to find a more permanent spot to store it.

We will have to pick a name and decide on circumcision also. I think Ben will help if I go into a bit of a hormonal rage about it. Hopefully it won't come to that.
