I had Brandon take a picture of me first thing this morning... I look AWFUL! But, I suppose I'll post the picture anyway. I've gained 23 pounds so far. (In my opinion I it looks like more, though).
For the most part this pregnancy has been fairly easy. I've had virtually ZERO heartburn. Which is so different than my first two - I had it basically every night with them. I'm not sure what the difference between then and now? But whatever it is, I'm thankful for not having the heartburn. My arms go numb occasionally while sleeping, which is in between my others. With Hayden they would go numb and stay numb half the day every day, with Theo they hardly ever were numb. And with this pregnancy - the past week I've had a new symptom I never had with the others. PELVIC PAIN. I can barely walk - it has gotten progressively worse this past week. It's ridiculous, I think I might either have to start taking tylenol as a pain killer or spend most of my days sitting down from now on. I don't remember having even the slightest bit of pain with my other two. I also am much more swollen this time around. I guess every pregnancy really is different, huh?
I am definitely feeling ready to have the baby. Physically and emotionally - but not ready in terms of having everything done that I feel I "need" to have done before she gets here.
Still no official name, but we have some ideas - and I like them enough to feel better about her upcoming birth. Before I was quite worried because we'd found nothing we liked. But, we still have time and plan to continue looking - nothing is set in stone yet!
