It was true for us -- hopefully for you, too! RE: water retention -- I was surprised that it took several weeks to go away. But when it did, it was sudden, like magic. I was thrilled to recognize my hands and feet again. So don't fret if it lingers a while. It will go!

It is rough waiting, but you'll be a mama soon enough. Be sure to get as much sleep and eat good food during these final moments as a family of two. Best of luck! Your life will never be the same...it will be so, so sweet. My daughter (who will be 3 on Tuesday) was 12 days late. It is rough waiting, but you’ll be a mama soon enough.

Wishing you all the best over the upcoming months hun. I know what's like to be sitting and waiting. A year ago today I was doing the EXACT same thing. Poking my tummy and asking my daughter when she planned on making an appearance. She ended up coming on the 10th :) (Turning 1 on Tuesday) Hang in there, and get plenty of R&R if you can. P.S. I did a lil illo for you with this week's theme. Check it out if you get a chance. Penelope congrats on your bundle!! Wishing you all the best over the upcoming months hun.
