Last week I drove to Eugene, OR for my niece's college graduation. I spent five days in Oregon visiting with my mom, step-dad, two half-sisters and three nieces. I mostly relaxed with my mom until graduation day on Saturday. This was the first time any of my family has seen me pregnant, they all said that I look good and cute. Both of my half-sisters said that they had quick labors. Lisa said that hers were like 3 hours, and pushed them right out! And they both said to take the drugs. However I want a water birth and I can't have an epidural if I want a water birth. I am not going to say never... we'll just wait until the birth day comes.
After driving home on Sunday I noticed that my ankles are swollen. I guess from siting down for 7 hours. I was like "great!" I going to be one of those moms who get puffy hands and feet. But after laying on my side at night the swelling has gone back down.
Last night I had a dream (that seems too real) that the baby was stretching really hard that it was almost painful. The baby's foot was pushing so hard against my tummy that when I touched my tummy I felt the form of the baby's foot. I could grab the foot and ankle over my skin (the baby was still in my tummy, it wasn't like it was coming out). It was weird because I really thought the dream was real. I was laying in bed thinking if that was possible... then I was like no! Maybe when I'm closer to full term.
