36 Weeks and Marshmallow Feet

Yay! Another week under our belt! Not too much longer to go! A lot my time this past week was spent inside with air conditioning and eating ice cream/smoothies! David makes delicious fruit smoothies for us every night! A trend that I think needs to continue even after the babies arrive because they are just too yummy! My 43rd Family Reunion was this weekend in Minnesota but we chose not to attend because we were fearful they babies would decide to arrive and we'd be hours from home. None the less our weekend was great! Friday night I played Bunko and met a few new moms! Yay! David did some 4 wheeling (I make him text me every 30 minutes so that I know nothing has happened and he always tells me where he's going). Saturday we hung out around the house and then met friends out for a movie and dinner. Sunday we headed out to Oak Park for our friends' going away party. Wow, was it hot! My feet were like swollen marshmallows or puffy pillows or whatever other name you want to give them! After my few hours outside I was thankful to get home, take a shower to cool down and relax in the air-and thank goodness we're not in the south! I can only imagine how puffy I'd be! My doctor is going to be out of town for the end of the week. Please pray for the babies to stay where they are until he comes home! I know there are other doctors here but I want ours to be the one to deliver! It just wouldn't be the same without him!

It's hard to find anything that still fits! The bottom of my belly is almost always out!

Total Beach Ball/Watermelon!

Marshmallow Feet-"Cankles" and All!

My Feet Compared to David's!

Funny Note: At Target on Saturday I went into the bathroom and a 4 year old girl directed me to an empty stall. She then said "That's a nice baby you have in there." I told her "Thank you." And she said "You're welcome." How cute are kids!?!

  1. Holy cow! Just when I think your belly is huge (in a loving way of course:)), it gets even bigger!

    Foot rubs are GREAT for swollen feet. I'm pretty sure fruit smoothies are too :)

  2. HOLY POO Lady!! You poor thing with those feet! It really is a good thing you aren't down here! Just imagine how much extra weight you'll lose once that fluid can finally drain from those legs. You're getting so close!!!

  5. We love checking your blog, sorry to hear about the feet. Erik is having the same problem, he found a pair of compression bicycle socks to wear. Best of Luck!
