Only A Few More Days

Only a few days left until our doctor's appointment.  Thank goodness.  Several people have asked how I'm doing... I'm hanging in there.  I've never been known as the world's most patient person... I guess this is teaching me.  I'm nervous and anxious, but ready to know something.  As long as it's not a bad something.  So, as ready as I am, there's a little bit of dread there too.

The extra job has kept my mind busy, but it has also exhausted me.  And the swelling has begun.  My hands and feet are very uncomfortable.  I'm sure standing for several hours most nights at job #2 has quite a bit to do with that.  We'll see what my doctor has to say about it on Monday. 

Rocky and I have had a few good conversations about the baby and the possible outcome of the appointment on Monday.  He is still choosing to remain positive and optimistic, and says that everything is going to be fine.  I'm trying to be realistic and prepare both of us for whatever news we may get.  I told him that I'm completely fine if the outcome is achondroplasia, I just don't want him to have further complications due to it.  I don't want him to have breathing issues, or fluid on the brain, or need for surgery, etc.  A healthy baby with achon is completely fine by me.  But then again, we still don't even know if it is skeletal dysplasia, that it's achon.  Oh, the questions and wondering... 

On a different note, I LOVE watching him move around in my belly!  I feel him all the time, and I love that too, but when I see him moving, it just blows my mind.  Maybe it's because "seeing is believing."  But I think it's the coolest thing ever! 

Here's my bump day picture from yesterday.  Almost (depending on which app, website, etc. you use) in the 3rd trimester!
