36 Weeks

The days are passing quickly and slowly all at the same time. I know I am not the first pregnant woman to experience this - but I must say, working is helping the time pass as are the weekly doctor appointments.

Had our last growth scan today and Rowan is doing beautifully - he is estimated to weigh 6lbs 15oz - although that can be off by a pound either way. So basically he is growing amazingly well. My doctor is out of town this week, so I saw another doc in the practice - very nice guy, very reassuring, and all is well.

I am finally getting the swelling in my legs and feet that I have noticed in all other pregnant women. By the end of the day I have cankles and my feet look like Flinstone feet. It is bizarre - and while it goes down by the morning, it doesn't go away. Ah, the joys of it all.

I am not sleeping well and I can't wait for this baby to be born so I can hopefully get a little more sleep than I am getting now - it is bound to be better with a newborn than it is right now!

Will post a picture I took at 36 weeks - the whale in all her glory!
