Well, we are almost there.  Thank goodness.

Things have gotten much harder the last two weeks.  We made it through Thanksgiving feeling pretty darn good.  Then I decided I needed to shop for 8 hours on Black Friday.  Let's just say that was a bad idea.  The swelling in my feet has really kicked in and any such activity is a bad idea these days.

I am also becoming more tired and the swelling does not seem to go away.  After yet another busy weekend with the Holiday Open House and wrapping up Christmas shopping I feel my feet and ankles are swollen for the duration.  So, now I am down to still exercising but being very careful not to over do it.  The only shoes that fit me now are my tennis shoes which is fine until Christmas Day rolls around and I need to dress up. 

Other then that all is well.  The baby's head is down and she kicks like crazy.  She must be getting her mama's strong legs. 

According to the doctor I am 50% effaced but not dilated at all yet.  I hope that at the next checkup that will be a little different and Josie decides to make her arrival a week or two early.  She is in charge though as I am sure will be the case for many months to come!!

Enjoy your holidays and I look forward to a busy winter beginning February 1st.
