20 days until my due date

Wow - I remember when I had over 200 days to go and now I have TWENTY! Time is going by very fast and I'm really not complaining about that. I'm at the point in my pregnancy where my feet are swollen, my back hurts, my back cracks, I can't lay down on my back and get myself up - I officially need help with that now ...and some other body parts hurt, too. Other than that, I'm happy as can be. Don't get me wrong - I enjoy being pregnant but I'm at the point now where I would like my body back and of course have Lil' Bean to LOOK at & play with - not just feel inside my body.

The belly is getting out of control now. My belly button has popped :( I honestly didn't think this would happen since I had such a deep 'innie' before. Oh well - it's all worth it. This picture was taken on Thursday night so I was 36 weeks and 6 days pregnant (one day short of 37 weeks).


We've been swimming at Wayne & Lennie's almost every day for the past 3 weeks (ohhh the house is such a mess since we haven't been home and since I have no energy to clean)...anyway, my bathing suit is just one that I used to wear before I was pregnant so it doesn't fit that well anymore but with this recent heat wave, I didn't care (still don't actually) because it allows me to go in the pool and cool down.

I finally bought some pj's for the hospital and after Lil' Bean arrives. How sad that I won't be wearing my Tweety Bird & Mickey Mouse pj's from Grade 8 anymore - ha ha Ron is quite happy about that because he hates my old pj's - they are soooo worn out but in my eyes, they are perfect.

After I do laundry I will be packing my hospital bag FOR SURE this weekend. Michael is supposed to be coming to visit us today from Toronto so that will be fun. Thankfully he won't care about the 10 inches of dust everywhere (it's really not THAT bad trust me).

Ruby is back as well so that means that Ron can install the car seat base sometime this weekend or week as well. Everything is finally coming together!

On that note, I guess I should go do some laundry and some dusting. Nahhhh maybe I'll start making my birth announcements instead - they'll be more fun to do :)
