The End is Near

OH MY how I can tell that I am getting near the end of pregnancy.  Whew!!  I can't believe how long and how fast the past 8 months have went by.  I am one week away from being 9 months pregnant.  These days, in case you didn't know you go for 10 months (40 weeks) instead of 9 months.  Ugh, whatever.

So here I am. 35 weeks pregnant - large and in charge!  I feel bigger every single day.  My feet, ankles, and legs are swollen huge.  It's disgusting and ridiculous all at the the same time and to be honest it makes me angry.  I have tried everything to help the swelling go down but nothing works - I mean NOTHING!  I can't wear my wedding ring which I hate.  Let me just say - even though A LOT of women swell during pregnancy and can't wear their wedding ring, I still find people at the grocery store or at the mall looking down at my left finger when they see that I am pregnant.  I want to say YES I'M MARRIED I'm just wearing a random ring on my left hand because my fingers are swollen up to the size of little sausages and if you want to say something about it - I may knock you out.  Ok, well, maybe I'm classier than that - these days though,  I've been questioning that.

I have had the hardest time with actually sitting down and not working on the house.  It's so difficult for me for my house to not be perfectly clean and in order.  Cory has been helping with dinner and cleaning up which has been wonderful.  At this point, I feel like my body isn't letting me do all the things I really want and need to do.  I see the light at the end of the tunnel though...


Brief update on the life of the Meadors clan.

Our baby boy now has a name - Oaks Meadors!  We are still working on that middle name.  So thankful for Felicia Hausman for taking maternity pictures for us.  She is wonderful!  LIKE her on Facebook :)


The nursery has been painted - now time to decorate!


I have used around 2 lbs of epsom salt soaking trying to get these swollen feet down.


Cory has been enjoying the rain and I love him being home early.
Banjo has chewed up the cord to the vacuum cleaner, several socks, wooden blinds, and a brand new big momma size pair of panties.  Dogs and their weird obsessions with eating panties.  Gross.
Hank is currently using new eye medicine and I think he is starting to see better.  He even walks down the stairs to the basement on his own now!  Hooray!!!
Oh, Banjo has the mange.  He isn't contagious thank the Lord, just losing his hair.  Hopefully his new medicine will help as well.
Dr. Fields doesn't see me making it to my due date - so we are getting super closer to being parents!  Wowzer
Cleaning out the car next week and putting in the car seat.  It's getting real.

Vets are expensive.


So happy it is Friday!  Enjoy the SUNSHINE!
