At Least I'm Not an Elephant

We have now reached a critical point in our journey. Now that I am 35 weeks, if I were to go into labor the Dr. would not do anything to stop it. They won't help me along at all (ask my friend Jessica about that one!), but they won't do anything to stop it either. That also means that there are only 2 more weeks until Caden is full term. So, he needs to stay in there and cook for 2 more weeks and then he is welcome to come out. Quickly. Painlessly.

I think I'm about done being pregnant. 40 weeks is a long time. I think 37 is more reasonable. My biggest issue is my feet. Since I stand all day (I really do try to sit, it just doesn't work!) my feet are incredibly swollen and sore by the end of the day. It often times feels as if I have broken every bone in my feet. I hobble around and look extremely pathetic. I have tried sitting more. I have cut out sodium (seriously, no chips for lunch!). I try walking around the school to get my blood moving during the day. It is what it is. And what it is is swollen, sore feet.

At least I'm not an elephant. They have a gestation period of 2 years (or something like that).

35 Weeks - on the way to church on Easter

Jeremy has a new hobby - guitar! He bought himself an electric guitar back in November and was teaching himself chords using a DVD. He has been looking for someone to take guitar lessons from and a few weeks ago he found someone. He had his second lesson tonight and he is loving it. He is practicing as we speak and I am currently listening to him play along with John Mellencamp. When he first bought the guitar I was a little confused. I didn't even know he wanted to learn an instrument. I asked him if he was having a midlife crisis early! He told me that he wanted to be musical, and have something to teach Caden. I think he may have visions of us being that Von Trapp family. He says he has visions of us sitting around a campfire singing camp songs together. How cute is that?!?

Practice, practice, practice!
