I haven't blogged much about this pregnancy. I look back to my entries from September and October 2008 and everything was about preparing for Evy's arrival. Of course, preparing for the arrival of your first child is much different than preparing for the arrival of your third. With the third you have your hands full taking care of two children. You have all of the "gear" that you need so you're not really preparing anything.
Tucked away in our house is an envelope that still holds a piece of paper telling us the sex of this baby. I hid it from Evy and Scott and feel no temptation to open it myself. For the record, I think it's a girl.
Needless to say this pregnancy has not been comfortable and I'm very ready to be done. At my last appointment I talked my OB into scheduling an induction. I'm officially on her calendar for June 5. It's warming up now so the lovely compression hose that I've been wearing for 5 months are getting more difficult to hide. Finding an outfit appropriate for work is nearly impossible. I had to bathe the girls and put them to bed last night on my own and nearly passed out. I was sweating, out of breath, and needed to sit down. The pain from the pubic symphysis has gotten better and I am walking with less pain this week. 29 days left to go!
This is a picture of my belly at 35.5 weeks. I didn't include my face because it's swollen. My hands are also swollen--like arthritis feeling swollen. Sweet.
