So I always get asked how I'm feeling and for the majority of this pregnancy, I've been feeling fine. Great and normal on most days. I think I already started experiencing that "mommy amnesia" because I've somewhat forgotten the horrible carpel tunnel pain, pelvic pain, and nausea I've felt on and off. I have't felt like I've slowed down or anything like that... until now. Yep, now I struggle when I move, I feel like a wide load that needs a beeping sound when backing up! I now have major trouble falling asleep and tossing and turning that normally helps has become very difficult. Turning from my left side to my right requires assistance and time! Its so wierd! My belly is GINORMOUS. I will soon take a picture to share. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable most of the time and just feel super full and stuffed. Yesterday (at 35 weeks 2 days) I started feeling this tiny stomach discomfort somewhat like menstrual cramps but not painful at all. Just uncomfortable. Then I also felt nausea on and off. I hope this doesnt mean labor is around the corner because baby girl needs to bake some more! Thankfully swelling has subsided on my hands and feet (even though I havent worn my wedding rings since like 3 months pregnant). My pressure has stabalized (as of yesterday). Which we are incredibly relieved and happy about. Seems like this bedrest is FINALLY working. But things can change each hour so we're just staying realistically optimistic and taking our small victories as they come. I get tired super easily now and washing my feet is quite difficult. I can't eat big meals because I will regret it later (learned this the hard way).
Emotionally: Emotionally I've been feeling excited for the most part. But honestly, I cry of fear sometimes. I am afraid something bad might happen but Will has been excellent at helping me relax and not think of the negative what ifs. Once I get out of that fearful funk, I feel very excited to hold our little bug. I can't wait to meet you baby girl!
