The End is in Sight....

38+5 WEEKS (9 DAYS TO GO!!!)

I feel so ungrateful to be wishing this pregnancy over now... I'm not ungrateful, I'm just not dealing with it well.
I am fed up of these bloody headaches, I seem to have one constantly and despite taking painkillers, I am never completely pain free, they just ease off ever so slightly. 
I am starting to feel like a pufferfish, as over the last few days my feet, ankles and hands have started swelling.
My pelvic pain is getting too much aswell...  I'm just not comfortable. :(
Oh, and Dot is turning me into a completely neurotic person... He/She is so quiet most of the time now, and it worries me something chronic.

I am, of course, thoroughly excited about the imminent arrival of our little Dot... I want to hold, and hug, and kiss, and love my baby... and it seems like it's so close, yet so far away....
I've cried tears of frustration over the last few days, my lovely little Dot doesn't seem all that keen to meet Mammy, Daddy and Big Brother Little Man.
Little Man is the sweetest, and announced yesterday that 'no-one is allowed to steal baby Dot, because Baby Dot is his'.  
I love him so so so so much. He is such a Little Darling. :)  And I am indeed missing him so much, as my parents have him for the weekend, which is nice, but feels so long. :(  

We met my Dad after work yesterday, so Little Man could go over... and he was so happy, and so boisterous.. until it came to saying goodbye. 
I hugged him and gave him a kiss, as always, and told him I love him, and he told me he loves me and how much he's going to miss me. :'(  but he was still fine.  I shut the car door and waved him goodbye. 
I looked at him again and he had tears in his eyes, and started reaching out for me.  It was heartbreaking.. but I left him go, as I knew he'd be fine once he was up my parents.  (A theory proved correct.)
My Dad said he whimpered like a little puppy, most of the way home, and then fell asleep.  I've spoken to Mum this morning and he is fine, and happy.
My Little Man has become so clingy since my hospital stay.  I feel so frustrated that I don't know exactly what is going through his mind. :(
