T-minus 6 weeks

Today marks the 34th week of our first pregnancy.  I am feeling rather tight in the torso region- not like contractions tight, but more like there's no room left tight.  In the past three weeks, I feel like I've gotten huge.  You be the judge- photos below.

I am regularly combatting swelling- not edema type, but just feeling swollen and having what my loving husband calls "sausage toes."  I have noticed that my shoes don't fit as well as they used to.  I also feel like the kid is dropping into my pelvis.  I have more room in my stomach now, and I don't get winded quite as easily as I did a few weeks ago.

We are slowly but surely getting everything ready to go.  We have the pack & play all set up with a rocking chair in our bedroom.  Our next big item to get is our carseat-stroller combo.  We have had one shower and will have two more before Spare is due to arrive.  I have a feeling that we'll definitely be able to get the carseat between now and then.

Otherwise, we put together a family to do list- things we need to get done before the baby comes.  I have been chipping away at it today: I did about 4 or 5 months worth of filing and finished hanging framed art/pictures.  Tomorrow, I am supposed to call pediatricians and the insurance company to find out about adding Spare on my insurance.

Generally, we are doing pretty well!
