9 MONTHS!

So I am now 36 weeks pregnant and I can't believe the big day is almost here. I have has some issues with swelling and high blood pressure lately so unfortunately for me I am now on bed rest. I am not confined to the bed but I cant do any walking, chores, or have any stress. I am able to work from home part time which really bothers me because I am eating into my maternity leave and there is no baby. I really wish this little one would hurry up so I can start being a mom. Being at home is really boring and one can only watch so much TV. I would love to be able to go for a nice walk but I cant do that either. So now I sit and wait. I am not even allowed to swim which stinks because Jason and I are going on our baby moon this weekend to a nice hotel with a really nice pool and I cant use it. I am looking forward to relaxing in a great room though.

Week 34

The past few weeks have been pretty hard. I am extremely tired and very emotional. I feel like crying everyday for no reason. My fingers and toes seem to be swelling so now I am just wearing flip flops. I have gained so much weight and I feel so unattractive. I am really ready to have this baby. I am tired of being pregnant. I have been having cramps for a few days so the doctor had me come in and do a Fetal NonStress Test. It showed some irritation on my uterus but they were not contractions. They did a test that showed I am not in danger of going into labor in the next 14 days. The doctor did an exam and she said the baby's head has come down. So I don't know if that means my body is getting ready for labor or not but I guess I will need to ask her during my next appointment.
