35 Weeks




Now only 5 weeks to go! I still can't believe it! I know its crazy, but I still wake up every morning and can't believe I'm pregnant! Well we all know my hands have started swelling. Its not the kind of swelling you would be able to even notice, but I feel it (very sore) and my ring is getting tighter. I haven't been wearing my real ring for quite a while now, and this one (larger size) is now leaving marks. And I just realized that my feet have started swelling. I wasn't even aware of it. I even put on a new pair of shoes that I bought a while ago, and they were too tight. I just assumed I bought them and they were too tight but I didn't notice at the time.... I thought I'd be giving them away. Then my sister-in-law pointed out to me that my feet were swollen, and I was arguing with her that they were not. Then the more I thought about it and the more I looked at them, she was right! My feet don't hurt at all, but the more I look at them closely, I can barely tell they are a little tiny bit swollen.
But overall I'm still feeling fine. Sometimes I'm feeling a little more worn out earlier in the day. I've had mild heartburn a few times now (thank god only a few times). Sleeping is still interesting, and I always feel like I could have gotten more. She is moving a lot now, and its big movements. She's still in breech position. Next week I'm getting an ultrasound so my doctor can see her position at 36 weeks. I'm LOVING my prenatal massages on Mondays. I really think it is whats going to get me through the end of this pregnancy with much less pain that I would have been in.
I posted two photos taken back to back so you can see how different I look, even with the same shirt on. On the second one I just made sure the shirt was up against my skin so you could really see the shape. Big difference, isn't it!
