Man Hands and Elephant Legs...

Haha.
Okay, so my body keeps swelling a little more and more the closer I get. Alright, I don't quite have elephant legs, but my feet and ankles are retaining water. I also was "diagnosed" with pregnancy carpal tunnel about 4 weeks ago. (It leaves after you deliver...thank goodness!!) So my fingers have been really fat and numb or tingling. It doesn't make it any easier for me to lift myself out of my bed, or up when my hands... well, I can't feel... or pain shoots up my wrist. :)

I sound like a complainer... so let us mention...
I have really had a wonderful pregnancy. No sickness at all, I was able to go running until January hit ( now walking, the bike and elyptical are my friends), I was able to still work full time to save money, my mom bought me cute pregnancy clothes on our chick weekend so I wasn't "fuddy duddy" looking the whole time, and I am having a healthy baby girl that will forever make us smile.

We are SO EXCITED FOR HER and we will wait as long as we have to. She is our little miracle that we wouldn't trade for anything even if I had Man hands and Elephant legs forever :)

7 days...HURRAY!
