38 Weeks and My Last Day of Work

The title says it all. I can't believe I've only got two more weeks until my due date! The time has flown by and then again...some days seemed to drag, especially during those morning sickness months at the beginning. I haven't started to feel that overwhelming get-this-kid-outta-me feeling yet but as I get more and more uncomfortable I'm sure I'll be getting more anxious to get this over with. I had my doctor's appointment today and all is fine. Baby's hearbeat was good, blood pressure still normal and measuring right on schedule. No more weight gain either. I'm up about 37 lbs total so far and hope it doesn't get any worse. I swear that at least 10 lbs of that is water weight. My ankles and hands are still really swollen. I hope I can put my wedding rings on again soon. I'm a little worried my hands will never go back to normal. At next week's Dr.'s appt. they will start checking to see if I'm dilated and effaced.

Today is also my last day of work before maternity leave. I've been busy tying up loose ends all week. I'm a little sad to be leaving. Two of my co-workers are leaving for India this weekend so my boss took our whole team out for lunch at the Yardhouse. It was a nice send off. Next time I see everyone I'll be holding my baby girl. It feels weird to leave with my pictures and personal items and to think that I won't be doing that drive or walking into that building for quite a while. But I will be happy to sleep in while Bryan goes off to work on Monday : )
