Today marks 27 weeks! I am definitely feeling bigger and THICK - as in thick like I'm having issues bending over to tie my shoes, and thick as in I can barely squat because my legs are so tight from swelling, and thick as in EVERYTHING is starting to get really snug...even my fat pants. Oh the joys of pregnancy! And I still have 91 days to go!
We had such a good weekend - Mom came into town and totally helped us get the house ready for Baby Joyner. We rearranged furniture and cleaned out two closets and now have room for some baby things! We found a crib and got it all put together (check out the pic), we went to our first consignment sale and scored HUGE on some awesome baby things and clothes..there really is no need to buy stuff brand new when you can go to consignment! So for those of you buying gifts, we are completely open to used items :) Mom also stocked us up on baby diapers and wipes so we'll be ready for Baby J as soon as he decides to make his debut. We are SOOOOOOOO excited...we can hardly stand it. Since we put the crib together, I've already gone back there just to stare at it like 5 times.
I am still feeling great - great as in no real issues but I am definitely having some serious leg swelling. I'm working long hours trying to get all my clinical hours in as soon as I can so I can take the last month off from working before I graduate (AND HAVE A BABY!) - but it hasn't been easy. I've had blood pooling in my legs (check out the pics) and like I said before, my legs are so tight. Looking into some good maternity compression hose - sounds exciting doesn't it???!!! Gotta run and finish some school work. I'll check back in in a couple weeks! Love you all!!! xoxo
