the swelling has begun. water retention. i had hoped that it wouldn't. i knew that it would. 20+ pounds of water weight with each of the kids at the end. about a week ago i started feeling it in my hands. then, when i could no longer close my jaw completely, that's when i knew. i was doomed. i'm seeing the doctor every week now, to monitor my blood pressure. so far so good.
there is a part of me that is ready NOW. but i have two kids outside the womb to consider as well. and for their sake i need to hold out until uncle jake and auntie rose get here to be with them while we are gone.

I've had swelling this time around too. My fingers hurt so much it's hard to bend them! But nothing like what it sounds like you are experiencing!! =0( Just a few weeks left...I think I can, I think I can...
Okay, I have to argue with you here, I REALLY don't see it!! You look amazing for being so close to her arrival!
