Belly Update

As of Sunday I have 7 weeks left until my due date!  7 WEEKS!!!  We are clammoring to get the nursery done in time for baby Beckett's arrival but I know think it will all get done.
My belly is growing A LOT and I'm not embarrassed to say that I now get on the scales backwards at every doctor's appointment!  I'm aware that it's normal to gain a huge amount of weight during pregnancy but seeing those numbers rise with each visit just makes me a little sad and I'm too excited about getting to meet my sweet baby boy to be sad right now!!
The worst part of this whole experience has reared it's ugly head.....SWELLING!!!! 
I was hoping to dodge the swollen feet, hands and face but lo and behold, it has kicked into overdrive over the past week and I'm already unrecognizable even to myself when I look in the mirror!!  I don't even know who that is looking back anymore.  OH WELL, it's all worth it in the end!!  The weeks are flying by and it won't be long before our lives completely change and Chad and I become K & C + "B"!!
