Until our scheduled c-section that is!!! I hope we can make it at least until this friday, that is my goal. Then after that the following Friday and maybe even until July 12th for the c-section. I think we'll make it to this friday but I just don't know how much further after that. It is so crazy to think about!!! We cannot wait to hold those babies in our arms and kiss them a thousand times!
Here's the 33 week profile shot. As a stranger told me yesterday "YOU'RE HUGE! You do know that right?!" Yes, thank you stranger woman, I know I'm huge. A reminder from someone I don't even know is really nice though ;) Ha. Oh well.
The swelling is setting in now. Its been taking over for the last two weeks. I'm not too happy about it but we're on the homestretch and I feel so great to have made it to 33 weeks and 2 days today (yes, I am counting the DAYS).
I think if I had a caption for this photo it would be "Hurry and take the photo so I can stop pretending to smile!"
This is what being on my feet for too long looks like. Actually even sitting upright makes my feet, ankles and legs swell like crazy so laying down with my feet propped up above my heart is the best solution (just makes me really sore but its swollen body or aching hips).

You look marvelous, simply marvelous girlie! Sorry those swollen ankles have caught up with you:( No fun. But once you pop those babies out, seeing your ankle bones again will totally make you feel skinny again even if the rest of your body isn't quite skinny yet:) Trust me on this one:)
ReplyDeleteBless your heart...here's to this Friday, and hopefully the next, etc...I'll be praying for you, hang in there sweet girl!
