3 Weeks Left

Unbelievably, I am still getting bigger everyday. I am getting to that stage in pregnancy where I actually have trouble staying upright. At my last appointment, the baby was laying sideways so he has a few weeks left to get his butt in the air and his head down. Jonathan and I are giving him a stern talking to every night.

I have had a very easy pregnancy thus far but the last few weeks have gotten a little rough. (Angie, you might want to skip this part :) I have developed pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel syndrome. My right hand has gone almost completely numb and both hands are weak. I have already broken a couple dishes and spilled my drinks all over the place because my hand just gives out sometimes. I also spend my time barefoot and pregnant down here in Alabama because I can't fit in any of my shoes anymore. And the most annoying symptoms of this pregnancy are the feeling I get that ants are crawling all over me and its accompanying eye twitch. That's been great fun, especially since it hits really hard right before bed. But oddly enough the doctor says the cure for those twitches is more sleep. Very helpful.
