36 + 4 - Good days and bad days

Every day seems to bring a new strange symptom that goes away as fast as it comes on! But overall my pregnancy has been very healthy so I shouldn't complain. I cant believe I am 24 days away from my due date. The summer heat has thankfully held off as long as can be expected and hopefully I wont have to endure too many more scorchers while pregnant. I think I have been getting crampier as time goes on, but I don't know if that is body preparing for labor or just the heat or what. I finally overcame some of the worst constipation I've ever experienced as of a few days ago. I am now on 3 Colace pills a day and fiber powder in my drinks 3 times a day. Believe it or not I am still borderline constipated but its getting better slowly. Weird symptoms I've had: A few days ago I woke up extremely dizzy but it went away by lunchtime. My three middle fingers on my right hand are numb at the tips - since about a month ago. My feet, ankles, hands and face are all swollen as can be. But my blood pressure is great at my appts, so nothing to worry about. I continue to gain weight at an alarming level...it really is a head trip considering how much I try to work out and walk and eat well. Really looking forward to breastfeeding it off! I am now on weekly Dr appts and just had my Strep B test. I find out the results at my next appt. I had my baby shower and work shower 2 weeks ago and it was so wonderful. Got tons of stuff, and we are just making final touches on the nursery. Still haven't packed a bag or done the carseat yet though...we are such procrastinators. I feel like I'll go past my due date, that is what my gut tells me, so I don't feel the need to rush to it I guess! Reese has been moving like a little dancer and at the last appointment dr said that her heart rate is speeding up with movement which is a sign of healthy heart. We also did the hospital tour this week and it was great to put a visual to what i'll be doing in a few weeks! That's all I can think of for now.... maybe next entry baby will be here :)
