I just got home from my doctor's appointment. I was hoping to have progressed farther than I have. Last week the Dr. I saw told me I was 1 1/2 cm and 50% effaced. Today the Dr. I saw told me that my chart said I had only dilated to 1 cm last week and I am at a 1 1/2 cm today and 70% effaced. He tried to tell me that that was a lot of progress, but it didn't sound like it to me. For as many contractions as I had over the weekend and during this last week I was hoping to be at least fully effaced. Can you tell I'm anxious? I just want the aches and pains and swelling to go away. She has dropped which has put added pressure on my pubic bone and makes it even harder to walk. At this point I do a waddle-shuffle combination. It's kinda sad that my students have to wait for me to catch up so we can go places. My beautiful swollen ankles
Austin took one of the balloons from my shower and put it up his shirt so he could be like me!
My 36 week belly
I am truly grateful I am not as big as Austin with that balloon in his shirt!
I am big enough as it is!

Your poor feet/ankles!! They look painful. I hope she comes soon...
I'm so sorry! I haven't thought about my feet and ankles for a long time.... I did every few hours if not minutes the few weeks before Brookelynn came. Sorry I didn't make it to your shower. I was planning on it and then stuff happened.... I have a gift for you and your little cute-t bug. Maybe she'll come soon and she can get her gift in person.

I am so excited for you to be a mom, I know you will be a totally awesome one!! we have a blog too but it's private so if you wanna see send me an e-mail. megs979@hotmail.com

Oh, Marianne...sigh. Those feet look like mine with my first...I never got them that bad again thankfully. I feel for you! They don't go away right away either I'm sorry to say. You look great. Good luck to you and your precious.
Hello! You look great....I can't believe you're already that far along. I saw you last at what....24 weeks? Your ankles look sore, but the rest of you looks great! Post LOTS of pictures when she's born because I won't be able to come see her in person!
Even though your ankles and feet are swollen you look amazing. Those full pictures of you are so cute. Don't worry, the baby will come...eventually. :) I know it's so hard to wait those last few weeks, but then pretty soon she'll be in your arms. I can't wait to hear how everything goes, and of course to see lots of pictures when she gets here!!!
Oh your ankles look ready to be done! Good luck waiting this last little bit! I am excited to see her!
Hi! OMG!!! I can't believe you are having a baby!!! I am so excited for you! Good luck!
ha ha, nice Aust! :) You're almost done. hang in there. :)
