If I had a dollar for every time I have been asked this in the last month alone I would be a rich girl (and with the economy the way it is right now...that would be helpful!!). But if I had a dollar for every time I have been asked this in the last 8 months I would not have to work for the rest of my life! Ha ha ha.
So, to answer the question that has everyone on the edge of their seats...I am feeling pretty good :) Well yes, I have more water in my feet/kankles than the Great Lakes combined...and I have sworn off the scale for the rest of the pregnancy...but other than that I am good. I am having BH contractions daily (they do not hurt- my tummy just turns to stone for 30 seconds or so which incidentally makes me feel like I need to pee) which are supposed to actually be a good thing. It's like a work out for the uterus-getting ready to push this child out- which is fantastic because I am starting to realize that yes- I will have to actually have to push her out eventually. So all the exercise my uterus can get in the mean time is a good thing, right?
I have been trying to keep up my walking, though it's getting harder. Ainsley and I try to walk 2 miles a day 3-5 days a week...last week I walked about 7-8 and the week before we went about 10-11. But this week my hips are not thrilled with all this movement. My inner thighs actually feel like I have been using a thigh master for hours on end! I guess it's that extra 25 pounds I am carrying?
All in all, I do feel pretty good. I have been lucky that I did not have morning sickness and my pregnancy has gone pretty smoothly (knock on wood). Hopefully...the whole labor and delivery will follow suit!
Only about 4 1/2 weeks until D Day....

I am so happy your pregnancy has gone so well. Good for you with all that walking!
I am sure labor will be fairly easy for you - you are in good shape and good health!
Keep up the great work, mom!
