I'm now 38 weeks and have been wondering when little Sophia will make her appearance. We had a good weekend, last night we went to the Clipper's game for my work. It was nice because we were in the suite so it wasn't too hot. After walking all day and getting home at 10 p.m. my feet had enough. Here's what they looked like:
Elliott thought it was hilarious. I've never seen my legs, feet and ankles soo swollen. It actually looks like I don't have ankles anymore lol!
This morning we went to church and I now have a different view on things. Going into church today I kept saying how we should pray that Sophie comes soon, however, after listening to our pastor and hearing about other people's struggles I now know I should be blessed to just be pregnant and that Sophie will come when she's ready. So from now on...no more rushing her. Our pastor told us a story today about our organist, Tom Cook, who actually performed at our wedding. His daughter was pregnant with triplets and all three recently died on July 29 which is actually the anniversary of them having a miscarriage the year before. After hearing that sad story it just makes you put things into perspective. I feel so grateful to be pregnant and also that everything has gone well so far. So from now on, we'll just pray for a safe delivery and a healthy baby girl.
Here's a picture of me from last night at 38 weeks
Our next appt. is tomorrow so I'll give everyone an update afterwards.
Great view on things Ash!
