Swollen Ankles and Rising Nerves-Let's All Just Drink

Earlier this week, Peter was at the park with Blake and he took a spill and sprained his ankle.

Looks nice, eh? Of course, this is the worst type of injury for Peter who has to be "doing" something all the time. He will have to abstain from tennis, softball, and ping pong for the next few weeks and I just know he is going to be going stir crazy by the time this is all said and done. The bright side of this story is that his ankle is not broken and he will not be on crutches when the baby is born....unless she pulls a suprise appearance, which I highly doubt.

Speaking of ankles, mine have started to swell as well. But it's just at the end of the day when I'm home from work and it's not too bad. For the most part I'm hanging in there. I'm tired of not being able to bend over and it's frustrating that I get winded so easily. I also am hot all the time! Mostly though, I just feel like there is no way there is any more room for her to grow! But she has been good to me. No painful kicks and she's pretty mellow at night so I am sleeping pretty well.

Peter is getting really excited for her arrival and we both are noticing that our nerves are on the rise. I am constantly asking questions that can't be answered yet. Like, "well what if I can't get her to stop crying and you're sleeping, are you going to help me??!" and "Do you think that she'll be calm since she seems to be pretty calm now??" and "What if I go into labor when I'm at work, and the dog is at home by herself, and we don't have time to go home first....." yadda, yadda, yadda. I'm probably driving Peter insane. But so far he has kept his patience.

As we enter the final home stretch of the pregnancy I can't help but think that the time has just flown by. I can't believe I'm actually going to have a baby in this house in two months!

Heather's sister Maria is getting married on Saturday and we had the bachelorette party for her a few weeks ago. Jennifer and Francis happened to be in town that weekend so it worked out that Jenn could spend the eveing with us. Here are few photos from our evening.
