Big Belly
With everything that has gone on the last month (the accident, the new baby, the house guests for 3 weeks), my body took a little bit of a down turn. I developed pretty bad swelling, started spilling sugar, bp went up a little, starting getting hives every day that would last an hour or two, and I developed carpel tunnel in both arms. Luckily everything got better (except the cp) when our house was emptied. That's getting worse, but at least it's not serious and will go away within a week or two of giving birth. The worst part is the pelvic pain and sleeping, but I'm happy for that baby to stay put for several more weeks! I am starting to nest and clean and organize the house, and it will be so nice to be able to finish at least most of what I want! Also, my midwife went out of town this week and will be back when I am 39 weeks. So if I end up having the baby before then, the other midwife (who I like almost as much) will be attending. I love watching my belly roll and shake and change shapes. This is a quiet kid so it doesn't happen all that often. DB also gets the hiccups now, sometimes 3 times in one day! We are so excited to meet our baby!

Yay on the belly! I still think if mom can gain 70 lbs and carry 2 babies full term there's no reason you won't go full term or over. Hope the carpal tunnel doesn't get any worse and glad that everything else got better! I'm surprised I haven't developed ct yet with my camera habits.
Can't believe you are SO far along! Glad you are feeling better and I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes well for you! Can't wait to see pictures of the new little one!
Glad that you are getting a little more back to normal after all the stress. Thanks for being our temporary home for a few weeks!!! Your house will always be Max's first home:)
3 more weeks...
So close! I'm glad you are feeling pretty well minus the carpal tunnel. I can't wait to see if DB is a boy or a girl and to meet him/ her in August!
Hang in there!! I hope your ct gets better... that is a real pain.
Oh, and are those like, one and a half stretch marks there on your side? (just teasing you because I am jealous...!) :D
Haha, A! You should see me in person (especially my legs)! Also, for some reason, my right side is my "good side". The left anywhere on my body is way worse, weird.
Man, I'm sorry your body was freaking out there for a while :( but I'm glad you are getting things accomplished. That was one thing I always looked forward to in my pregnancies was nesting...problem was, I never really nested (too lazy I suppose ;)
