Still waiting....

Gaven has still not arrived yet, but I still have 12 days to go until my due date. I have had swollen feet & ankles. But the swelling is getting worse, my legs, hands, and face are inclueded now. Along with the swelling I am retaining fluid around the tendon that causes carpal tunnel so my fingers are almost completely numb on my right hand and the left it is just my finger tips. The doctor has been worried about my swelling turning into preeclampsia but so far everything has been good. But today I am feeling nervous about the excess swelling. Last week my blood pressure was high for me but still within good pregnancy range. So we will see what it is today.

I want to have this baby. I am ready to meet my son!!!!

The final days...

The time to count down the days has started. I have 30 days to go. My feet and ankles are really swelling everyday now. I am tired more now than I have been during the pregnancy, not to mention I am not always sleeping well at night. My belly is stretched and I am not really sure how much more it can stretch. But I am extremely excited to know that really any day now I could meet my son! I wonder what he will look like. Will he have blonde hair like Caleb and I have. Will he have Caleb's blue eyes, will he have my skin tone, who's nose will he have and how big will he be.

The nursery is ready to go. Caleb still has the trim work to finish around the book shelf and window, but otherwise we are ready for Gaven to arrive. The crib is put together and the bedding is on, the stroller is put together, the pack n play is assebled, and the glider chair has arrived. We are just waiting for the baby now. I'll post pictures of the nursery soon. Have a great weekend.
