21 DAYS TO GO...BUT WHO'S COUNTING?

I'm only posting these pictures for posterity sake and so people will believe me when I say I'm SWOLLEN.
Jayden is welcome to come anytime. I tell him everyday that we can't wait for him to come and play with us. I'm just afraid he's getting too cozy, because when I went to the docotor last week he said I'm not even close to being ready. My doctor said at this point he would normally see me the following week, but because I hadn't progressed at all I wouldn't need to come in for 2 weeks. I literally got tears in my eyes when he said that. Everyday it is getting harder and harder for me to walk and move. I'm scared I will never look "normal" again. My ankles are getting sores on them from the skin being stretched so tight. I got swollen with the other two, but nothing like this. The cooler 70 degree weather has been a blessing, though. Somedays I thought I would never make it through the HOT Arizona summer alive.

Even though it takes me a while, I am still determined to paint my toenails.
I want to cry (what am I saying..I do cry) when I see this picture.
Sydney can't stand to look at my feet. She says they're "bisgusting"!
Will I ever look normal again? I'm beginning to wonder. I have to just keep reminding myself that it will all be worth it when I'm holding my little man.

I totally know how you are feeling since it wasn't that long ago for me. Hang in there! Jayden will be here before you know it!

By the way, you still look beautiful!

Are you kidding me?! You look so good! I know what you're going through...it wasn't too long ago that I was carrying my 2 sweet boys. Hopefully he won't keep you waiting much longer!

You poor thing...I bet your feet kill! It doesn't look like your feet should be with your body...cuz you still look so little! I am feeling your anxiousness about wanting him to be here. Hang in there and soon we will have them!

Oh my. I'm sorry about your feet! This will be over before you know it and you really will be holding your little man!

Sorry, Denae that last comment was from me but I didn't realize I was logged into my junk email account...

I'm sorry about your feet (at least it's a good excuse to make Mark do lots of work around the house!). But I have to tell you, you have the cutest belly. Hang in there!

I remember feeling as if I was going to explode at the end of my 3rd pregnancy. The doctor let me go a week over. Hopefully yours will come soon. You'll be back to normal before you know it! Hang in there!

You poor sweet little thing, but really if you didn't show your feet you don't look swollen at all, just like you have a basketball in your tummy! You look great! Hang in there, can't wait to see him!
