I definitely can feel Ms. Annabelle now. Just a few minutes ago as I was playing on my computer sitting on the couch I could feel her kicking against my right arm as I surfed the web so I stopped and put my hand there, next thing I know I feel my tummy going in waves and then a sharp quick pain in my private area. OUCH!!
You have to wonderful what is actually going on in there.. LOL..
Tomorrow we are 32 weeks along. She is supposed to be about 3.75 pounds and 16 inches long. It's hard to believe at times that something that big is in me although as you can see she makes it known she is in there. We have a Dr. appointment in the morning to check up on her and we are forever closer to having her in our arms.
I have been having a hard time sleeping through the night and I seem to wake up around 3:30am or 4am every night if nothing else but to pee but sometimes I can't sleep and I go to the couch to watch TV or have a snack. I find the leather couch comfy at that time of night because it's cool and it supports my back. However, the nights I do get up I really feel crappy the next day especially if I don't get back to sleep at all.
The mornings are getting harder and harder and it's getting uncomfortable to drive and walk into work in the morning. Often I have to lay back in my chair for a bit when I get in because I feel light headed or tummy just doesn't feel good. I just keep saying it won't be much longer as I am now 8 months along. The way I figure it I only have about 6 more weeks of work and as time goes on like others who have had babies in my group I might need to work from home more often.
I think all and all I have been lucky during this pregnancy but as they say the third trimester the honeymoon is over and for me that means increased heartburn, feeling like I was punched in the belly, uncomfortable sleeping, lack of sleeping... but... it could be worse.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU, JERRY, AND ANABELLE!
