Well, this is swell-

-ing, of course.  I'm at 36 weeks so now we go to the Dr. every Friday.  Today we took the whole family for the excursion. It seems I've set a record by putting on 4 pounds within this last week.  I almost gasped.  The nurse actually asked me what I've been eating, which luckily I didn't get too offended and break down in tears because I haven't really been eating anything out of the ordinary or more than before.  I felt a bit better when the Dr. told me she wasn't worried about it at all.  Ironically, as I was sharing how excited I was that the past few nights I've slept better and not had to get up to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes the Dr. informed me, "Well, that's because you are holding onto the the water."  Oh, great.  One thing cancels out the other.  I have really noticed the increased swelling -- having carpal tunnel, hand falls asleep when I sleep on my left side, and hands and feet are swollen.  Ahhh, the joys of being pregnant in the summer, or just being pregnant?  It is a good thing I'm in the final countdown!
