Almost Time

In an effort to post something on here, I thought I ought to at least put a belly shot on since I am so close to having this little boy....even though I am about 13 posts behind on other happenings in our life (yes, I keep track of what posts I need to do and there are 13 on my list). As of today, when I took this picture, I am 37 1/2 weeks. I will hit my 38 week mark this Wednesday. Crazy. This pregnancy, even though it's been my hardest, has just flown by me. Perhaps it's that we are in the middle of buying a house (more on that later), perhaps it's that I have 3 little ones at home? Probably a combination of those, plus Joseph's busy schedule, and a slew of other things. Either way, I just keep asking myself, "can I really be this close to delivery?" I'm not so ready yet. I mean, don't get me wrong, I am very done with being super swollen (never was at all with my others) and super uncomfortable and super large....but I'm not really ready mentally to care for a newborn baby and to reconfigure our system. Here I am in all my glory: 
Ugh...even my face looks swollen in this picture. It really doesn't do justice though to the puffiness of my feet and ankles. None of my shoes fit. I have to wear flip flops only. I do have close up pictures of my feet, but I don't think I want to gross anyone out, so I won't post them. Let's just say that when I sent a picture of my feet to my Mom and sisters, they said, "Those can't be YOUR feet?!" Yep, they are.
