waiting....

I officially started my maternity leave today. I have missed work yesterday, and 2 days last week. Went to the doctor twice because of back pain, now they think I might have a kidney infection brewing, should know for sure by tomorrow, I have my 39 week appointment tomorrow and I'm really hoping for some good news. Been having contractions but they are not really causing a whole lot of action. The kidney or maybe kidney pain has been really, really painful, preventing me from sleeping and just being somewhat comfortable. I have edema in my legs, they have been so swollen that I have no knee caps, and can barely walk. My mom ended up changing her flight, so she gets in tonight, in about an hour. I'm sure I will see her tomorrow. This evening I have been trying to get some last minute things done, like laundry and just making sure the house is somewhat straightened up. Michelle the photographer is coming on Friday for our meeting. The screen guy is suppose to come for the 3rd time now on Thursday to finish our windows. For some reason the heat is back and its been in the 90's...hopefully that goes back to the low 80's soon. Luke's family left on Sunday, their visit went by pretty fast, I only wish I would have felt better while they were here, but I will see them all at Christmas. At this point I am really, really hoping I don't go past my due date, especially since I am a week early starting my maternity leave, not really happy about that. But I just keep telling myself that there is no way I could have worked feeling like this and I definitely cannot elevate my feet while trying to work. For some reason I can't be on my feet for anymore then 30 minutes without swelling up big time. So now it's just a waiting game and once again hoping for some good news tomorrow !
