I'm staying busy with the stockings and still working, so that helps take up 8 hours of my day. I now plan on working up until the baby comes. I have informed my supervisor that I won't be staying after the baby comes. Even though they know I won't be staying with them, my manager has offered me maternity leave. I was honestly surprised at the offer. I'm not convinced many employers like to willingly pay maternity to employees they know won't be working with them after the baby comes.
I'm now starting to get to an uncomfortable stage. It's not as easy or comfortable to walk or get up from sitting or lying in bed anymore. My feet are much more swollen now too, especially my left foot for some reason. They look like air has been blown into them. My shoes are all much tighter now. But, overall I still have it pretty good. I still feel like I have it better than many other pregnant people I know who are about as far along as I am. Nothing unbearable. :)
I begin my weekly appointments with my doctor this week, which I am excited about because it means everything is getting to be so much closer! I probably won't like weekly appointments as much with future pregnancies, but for now... it excites me. :)
This is how I look today at 36 weeks:

You look great, I'm excited for you! And that is wonderful about maternity leave, you're right I bet that doesn't happen often.
You look great! I don't think you'll make it to your due date! Has your doctor told you to lay down on your left side, that might help with the swelling. I know with my high blood pressure they always told me to do that. I'm 39 weeks and still haven't had weekly appointments - I love Dr. Lynn!! Try to get some rest, and take it easy.
You look so cute Kristin! Makes me want to drive down and feel that belly! That's so awesome they offered you maternity leave! That's so nice of you; I'm with you on not taking it if I'm not actually going to go back to work, but if they offer it to you then that's great!! I'm so tempted to make a trip to slc right now! I can't wait to meet Baby Williams!
It is so fun to see you pregnant! Thanks for posting a picture. (Rees was trying to wave to your picture and tell you hi. :) And I would never guess you are swollen, you look good. By that stage my face looked full.
I liked the weekly appointments, but probably won't this time because I have to try to find a babysitter each time.
And you do have a very nice employer. Wow.
That is really great news that you will get maternity leave!
You are so small and yet baby is SO big! I can see why you might be uncomfortable. You have a wonderful attitute. Lots of women I know just whine the whole time after they've even gained a little bump.
Congrats on being almost done, I can only imagine how excited you are to meet baby Williams!! :)
You look great. Red is a good color on you.
We are keeping the phone close by for the call from both you and Lyndsay.
You are so CUTE! I am glad things are going so well with you and Jon and the baby and your work. I have not forgotten about the stuff I promised it will be coming things just got a little crazy around here! Good luck! We cannot wait to see pictures of your cute baby when he/she is born! :)
