4.5 weeks to go!

I've had three showers in the past three weeks, and I'm exhausted! We're very grateful, though--we received a lot of useful baby things! Thanks, especially, to Mom and Dad for our stroller. I'm sure the baby will love it!

Here's a pic from the ladybug-themed shower (34 weeks):

In the last few weeks, I have heard plenty about my size--that I'm small! I certainly don't feel that way. I'm sure I'll balloon up a good deal this last month, though.

I think I'm ready to get this show on the road. I twisted my ankle a few weeks ago, and it just hasn't healed properly because of the extra weight. I'm trying to stay off my feet as much as possible, but I do have to get up to go to the bathroom occasionally! Just getting ready for work in the morning is exhausting. It's actually kind of frustrating--I have so much to do and so little energy to do it! I don't even know how much good I'll be during the holidays--they're just coming at a really bad time.

The water retention that everyone talks about has finally arrived! I am resisting the removal of my wedding band as long as I can--which might not be that much longer. I can't even move it around on my finger anymore. I don't want to remove it at all--it's such a part of me. But I don't want it to be cut off either!
