Here is a most recent photo. I have my date scheduled for July 16th but I'm trying to change it to the 20th. We'll see what the doc says about that since the 20th is getting closer to my due date. They just don't want me to have to have an emergency c-section. I would like it to be relaxed rather than rushed too.
So far things are going well. I feel lots of movement and lots of pressure. Sleeping is very uncomfortable, but I take what I can get. My ankles and hands are swelling mainly when I get hot or sitting for a long time. I think my ankles stay swollen. Of course only I notice these things. Brian doesn't think my feet are swollen, but I know they are. One of my legs had veins all over the back of knee. Hopefully they will fade some what away. Other than those things I am doing well. I apparently lost 2 lbs. not sure how, maybe because it's summer. The doc asked if I went on some diet. I told him of course not. They haven't worried too much about my weight gaining. I just told them upfront not to expect a lot because it just doesn't happen. Not me trying, just genetics I guess. They did say the baby is growing very well and is in the 65th percentile. I guess that's good. I just wonder how much this baby will weigh.

You know being pregnant has not been bad. Once you get over the beginning stuff then it gets better at least for me. There are some things that get harder, like shaving my legs, but I do it. This has been a really great pregnancy. It just makes me think about how our bodies can carry these babies and how they grow inside of us. It just amazes me. I'm really thankful to have this privilege to carry a child that Heavenly Father has entrusted me with. I wish everyone could experience this.
It's hard to believe that next month we will have a new one. We have a lot to get done before she comes. I feel more nervous with this one, maybe it's because we haven't had a little one in a while, but I know it'll all come back. Well I have been sitting way too long. I can feel my ankles starting to swell and some pressure in my stomach. I will keep everyone posted on the actual date of delivery. It's kind of cool that we can schedule when she'll be born. I was a little bummed the other day that I will not ever have the chance to deliver other than by c-section. It's never bothered me before, but it sort of just made me a little sad, but sometimes we just have to do what we can and just be grateful.
