Pregnancy Update

We are getting down to the final weeks of this pregnancy - FINALLY! So the c-section is scheduled for Monday, June 29 at Noon. It's kind of crazy to think we'll have our little girl in just 20 days! Overall, I'm feeling pretty good; still able to workout and stuff. With my last pregnancy I couldn't workout the last couple of months because I literally couldn't fit my feet into my gym shoes. Just so you know I'm not exaggerating, here are the feet from last time:


And that was even at 32 weeks. Here they are now at 36.5 weeks:
I really don't know how I functioned for over two months on those water balloons. This is embarassing, but I had to buy these shoes at Payless to get me through the end of that pregnancy. When I showed up for Bryker's one-week checkup, a really heavy nurse had on the exact same shoes. You better believe I complimented her on them.

So at least I'm not quite as uncomfortable this time around. Now I'm just curious to see if we have another 9-pounder coming up!

Love the post. Pregnancy is such a trip for our bodies. I am so glad you are doing better this go round. I can't believe you have energy to still work out. You are super woman!
Isn't a c-section nice for the fact that there is a plan in place and you can just be prepared. There is definitely pros that way. Can't wait to see pictures of the new babe!

Good luck with everything! I had the same ankles with my pregnancies, too. No fun! I'm excited to see pictures and find out what name you decide on.

Missy, that is hilarious! I love that you had the same shoes as your nurse- awesome! We miss you guys- best of luck at the end of the month! Can't wait to see the little one!

I swear it's because you were working at a desk job when you were pregnant with Bryker. I never got swollen with Ruby because I was too busy running around with Ella and when I was home, my feet were always up. I can't believe she's almost here!

I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to meet her. And June 29th is my birthday so that is just perfect! Good luck Missy. I will be thinking about you.

I'm glad you're feeling better than last time. Those feet looked painful. Hey this gives me hope, maybe my second time around won't be so miserable. Hey, when will you be in Utah? I saw on Melissa's blog August. We're planning on going the last week of August. I hope it's the same time so I can see you and your new baby girl.
