I’ve passed the 32 weeks mark and in some ways, I’m feeling the pressure to get everything done. On the other hand, I feel EXHAUSTED TIRED during the day and then manage to pick up a second wind for the evening. This is equal parts annoying and awesome. I am actually managing to get some stuff done in the evenings, but I feel like I’m drugged during the day.
Once again, I meant to take a picture on Friday, then Saturday, then Sunday and…well, here we are today. Also, I managed to put the same shirt on that I had on last week for my pictures and while I felt pretty stupid about it and hummed and hawed about whether I should go and change it for the picture….Really, I just couldn’t be bothered. I did wake up this morning and put a pair of capri’s on but by the time I met for coffee with a friend, then went grocery shopping and hit three stories just to “get” everything – my pants felt like they were biting into my gut and so I put on the most comfy skirt that I own…….
I had a chat with my midwife about the 4lb 11 oz estimate that Dr. Still gave me on our little boy and she said that she’s known the “estimates” to be off as much as two to three pounds. I’m hoping that this is the case as I’m really not expecting to be pushing out a 9 or 10 pound baby.
I have started swelling. In fact, I woke up one morning and was 208 pounds. Woke up the next morning and was 213 pounds. That…….is brutal. I can feel that I’m retaining water in my hands and feet. They feel very tight. Typically, the swelling goes down almost completely by the morning, but not ALL. THE. WAY…..
This past week was a little bit stressful for many different reasons and when I’m stressed, I have a tendency to focus on “things”. I have a bunch of crafty things that I’ve been working on and I’m gonna share them over the next couple of days….
You look great Patti! I love the shirt ;0)
