40 days until the due date

I had an appointment on Friday of last week. The baby's heart rate was 140. My doctor said my belly had taken a big jump in size since I had seen her 3 weeks ago, but that wasn't news to me. The baby's still sitting pretty high and that means that my ribs are aching for room. My feet and hands went through a swelling spree this weekend too. Getting out and taking a walk on Sunday along with more water finally helped. Squeezing my feet into my sneakers this morning was at least a little bearable. My doctor said my swelling was caused by the massive watermelon sitting on my lap!
We got the crib from Marc's Aunt Deb and Uncle Phil this past week. Marc had it set up the next day. He's so anxious to officially begin being a dad. He's built a cabinet for baby clothes, diapers, and other baby items too. It looks good in the baby's room. Things are coming together slowly, but surely. We begin our birthing classes this week so that means we are nearing the end. My ribs can only hope!
