36 weeks along and I'm doing "ok." No one likes complainers but just for my records, I'd like to blog about what I am experiencing during this last lovely trimester:
1. Dupuytren's contracture in my right wrist- think of carpal tunnel's cousin. I am wearing a daytime and nighttime splint and going for outpatient hand therapy 2x weekly. PLEASE pray this goes away.
2. Swollen feet-ever watch Big Trouble in Lil China....they look like they are going to explode.
3. Increased tiredness and moodiness...to be expected.
4. Cravings have slowed down, although I still like sweets. Thank you God I am not obsessing over my weight nor I should be...this is the baby's house :)
5. I am sore and tight from the waist down and too tired to exercise...must exercise, must exercise!
6. Getting anxious for baby boy to arrive...nesting is settling in.
7. Difficultly to move, change positions and sleeping!- never have I thought it would be this hard to get around.
8. Baby is moving around like he's doing the worm lol- he's pressing on my bladder, moving his little butt around where you can physically see, and giving mommy butterfly feelings. It's the most amazing, strange sensation that every mother goes through.
Rob has been a God's send. I am blessed to have him. These last 8 months, he has painted our bedroom, kitchen, baby's room, redid the kitchen floors, detailed my car like brand new, attended every baby class with me,...the list goes on and on. May I just say that he has done this whole heartily without out me complaining or nagging (that much ;)). I think expecting mothers expect their husbands to do EVERYTHING all the while they are bitchy, rude, etc. I'll let you know how next pregnancy goes with this mentality lol...but for this little man, we are doing just fine. Thank you Jesus!!
Speaking of Jesus, my Lord and Savior, He has blessed us beyond belief. There's a little situation going on in my life that I need prayers, guidance and victory. Please dear God, help make the matters at hand resolve itself. And thank you for giving me wisdom to not stress about it because my baby and I do not need this. "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your wellfare, not for woe! plans to give you a future full of hope." Jeremiah 29:11
Amen Amen I say to you!
