38!

No baby yet! But I officially hit 38 weeks yesterday.... 9 1/2 months pregnant and HUGE! I have a funny picture to post later. I wonder what it's like to go past your due date and go to 41 or 42 weeks. That must be crazy!! Of course part of me feels like I shouldn't be so anxious for little guy to arrive since I still technically have two weeks left, but given the fact that Jake was born FOUR weeks ago, this was quite honestly an additional month of being pregnant that I wasn't necessarily expecting. I did get my wish though -- to be nice and round and waddling around the office and Super Target. Paul and Jake and I went to the Leesburg Outlets yesterday and I definitely got some funny looks from people. I am pretty sure they were a little worried that I was going to collapse in labor at any time.

I feel like the baby has dropped.... kicks and pressure are lower than they had been before. If I sit and count the Braxton Hicks contractions, they are about every 10 minutes on the dot but they aren't progressing or painful, just a little uncomfortable. The swelling in my legs and feet is pretty bad. There are very few pairs of pants or shoes that I can wear at this point because everything is so tight. Sleeping through the night hasn't happened in a while either... I definitely wake up to go to the bathroom about every two hours on the dot. But all in all, I still feel pretty comfortable and mobile.

Only 5 more days left of work and 8 days until little guy's arrival!
