15 days

15 days...give or take...and it can't pass fast enough. As you can see, I have taken on the characteristics of a puffer fish! Each morning, my face and hands are a bit larger than the night before, but by the end of the day some of that fluid has moved down to my legs and feet making them larger at night. I still don't have the swelling issues I dealt with during my last pregnancy, but I have cold weather to thank for that. It's hard not to swell when it's 100 degrees in May! Jbird is still oblivious to the belly - except that it's one more thing on Mommy he can use as a step up to the sofa. I thought you might enjoy these pictures we took yesterday - I was actually feeling slightly cute, well, at least until I saw these pictures. I tell you, the difference in carrying a girl vs. a boy is astounding - and I blame it on the extra estrogen. More tears, more hormonal shifts, more criticism of myself...and Clay has been such a trooper during it all. Off to finish my to-do list for today (the nesting is in HIGH gear!) - I just wanted to share some photos for those who have been asking...
