37 weeks and swollen

I never could imagine how being swollen from head to toe could feel. But, now, I get it. I am so swollen that I couldn't even find ONE pair of shoes to wear last night. I rocked flip-flops in mid-November and they didn't even really fit. Being swollen sucks.

Anyway, enough complaining! I had my first internal at 36 weeks and NOTHING has changed. I am not dilated or effaced. My cervix is still high up and not soft. SOOO, that leads me to believe that Eloise is going to be late. I was hoping for a November baby, but I guess she has other plans.... we will see. Good news is I am still at a weight gain of 33 lbs. Let's hope I don't gain too much more before she arrives!

Things I am looking forward to after pregnancy:

1. sleeping on my stomach
2. a glass of wine
3. peanut butter

In that exact order may I add. I can't believe this whole adventure is almost over and I am about to start a brand new one. No turning back now...
