Swollen,Nesting,Dropped... awesome
I went to my SIL's shower today, and was constantly up and down because i had to take DS (long story about my dad not wanting to keep him last min). So when we left my ankles were cankles, and i could hardly bend my fingers. 
i hurts being that swollen...
I am nesting so hard core right now!!! i didnt nest with DS#1 at all, and i just spent the last hour or so cleaning the kitchen, dinning room, and living room, all of which were totally destroyed. Only to re-swell up... Tho i did sit for about 2 hrs with my feet propped up it didnt help much, im drinking the water, its not helping much. But i think i just need to go to bed to stay off my feet (my knees are hurting from propping.)
My parents BOTH at different times said 'you have dropped quite a bit'.... not cool.. i feel like my belly is hanging out of everything that i wear (you know those old men with pot bellies that wear shirts that are too short?! thats what i feel like!) THEN! my mom said 'you know they say you get a burst of energy the before you go into labor' <- seriously! dont say that crap to me! i am only 34 wks!! i just had a dream last night about my water breaking... not cool...
Then when i said he needs to stay for AT LEAST 2 more weeks or we will be in the NICU for a while. she was like well with as big as he is i think he will be just fine... i wanted to smack her... he maybe huge but that doesnt mean he's fully developed! CRAZY!
Didnt mean for this to be a rant..oops..
anyone else swelling, dropping, and nesting lately!?

I don't think I've dropped, but I'm carrying so low that I've got the trailer trash pot belly going on when I'm not careful.
I have been nesting like a crazy bish, though. I've been sweeping the ceilings, vacuuming the cabinets out (yes, I took every single thing out of my pantry and cabinets and sucked every last crumb out of them), and spending way too much $$$ on little updates here and there.
DH is not going to be happy when he realizes I didn't pull all of the "new" curtains out of my linen closet stash.
Nesting and dropping... yes. Swelling... no. Thank goodness. Although every morning when I wake up, my fingers are a little swollen, but after being up for about an hour and a half, they go down (thankfully). I am just waiting for the day that they stay swollen after being up for a while.
Yesterday, I cleaned out the entire hallway closet and reorganized it, then I went on to the computer room closet, bathroom closet, re-vacuumed floors... everything. I am going into super nest mode. I couldn't stand seeing a crumb or fingerprint on the glass coffee tables or end tables. Ugh.
On top of that, I dropped big time in the last week and a half. I was carrying her so low to begin with, but she REALLY dropped. I have been lucky enough though that I have not felt really any pressure anywhere during the entire pregnancy.
Nested hardcore this weekend, my husband set up all the furniture and I filled it with goodies which were all stored in the attic so I was up and down the stairs quite a lot. I also went to a huge flea market on Saturday and IKEA. Yesterday I cleaned and reorganized the entire house. I also did all of our laundry and sorted all of LO laundry that my husband promised to do today (he's home from work). Now I just need to sanitize the bottles and pacies etc and we're all done. The car seat is installed as well
I am swollen and tired and can't sleep because I want to keep doing things. I have def dropped over the weekend. I don't think or at least I hope it's not a sign of impending labor we need a couple more weeks!
