Still pregnant, after all these weeks

Everything is going fine for the family and I. Amelia is having fun at grandma and grandpa's house, though it has become extremely difficult to get her to go to sleep (again). The little baby is still moving and stretching every day. Sometimes she pushes against my belly as if she's trying to expand her shrinking world.

I feel pretty well, except that my calves are very sore. I can't hardly stand for more than a minute, but walking sometimes helps. I also find myself with my feet up a lot of the time. I feel lazy and pampered, but I'm not sure what the alternative is right now. I am very grateful that I have family around to help.

Michael and his brother have started moving things into our new apartment. I was originally going out to Livermore with them today, but Mike decided I wasn't needed too badly...which suits me fine. For one thing, there's really no where to sit at home right now. I can sit on a cooler for a bit, but that isn't as nice as grandma's recliner.

Tomorrow night I may be sleeping in Livermore - we'll see. Thursday night Michael and I are supposed to tour the maternity ward of our Pleasanton hospital. Hopefully, the baby won't be born until then, but at this point she's considered full-term (I'm at 38 weeks) so I'm sure everything will be fine regardless.
