36 weeks....the countdown begins!!!

I am now 36 weeks along, and counting down the days until we meet "Shooter." We made the move from Duluth, MN to Biloxi, MS over the course of three days with the driving help of a couple of great friends! Thank you so much to a wonderful couple! The trip was long, but broken up, and I didn't kill Dale or anyone else for that matter. We visited the "Gateway Arch" and had some great BBQ in St. Louis (ask me about the BBQ one day), stayed in Memphis with intentions of visiting Graceland (we decided to skip that) and then made our way to Biloxi! My feet began swelling a bit on the car ride, but I kept it to a minimum until we hit home (still getting used to saying that) and now they are full blown elephant feet! I met with the dr. today and he said to expect that from here on out, as well as a little puffiness in my face....so pretty much everything on me is swollen! I've even acquired pregnancy related carpal tunnel from the swelling in my hands, which is the most uncomfortable feeling when sleeping, but it will be worth it in about a month! We toured the new hospital at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, where my little man will make his big debut! The labor and delivery unit is really nice and the birthing suites are phenomenal! Shooter's heartrate today was 140, but apparently, he doesn't like to let people know that....he kept moving the whole time the nurse was trying to listen and she was having a hard time. I don't know if that means he will be hyper like me or stubborn like his dad, but we'll know soon enough! We finished his room amidst all the unpacking and included a couple of pictures. We're very happy with the way it turned out! Now we're just waiting! I visit the doctor again next week, until then...be thinking about me, I'll probably be at the pool or beach (that's for all of you up north!).
