35 weeks

May 8, 2020 

 

35 weeks!

I cannot believe it.

Were having a baby in a month.

I am finally descending out of denial and accepting that we are really having a baby!

 

Lane continues to snuggle up and use his sister as a pillow.

Baby sister loves cookies and milk!

She does not seem to mind my middle of the night protein drinks either.

I am getting a lot of braxton hicks.

My biggest hurdle is my hands!

They are in an excruciating amount of pain.

My fingers are numb 24/7.

I cant squeeze them in a fist.

I am having the kids help me do things like whisk the eggs.

I am up every couple hours in the night shaking my hands trying to get circulation.

I am icing them, trying to relieve the pain.

Doctor said it is carpel tunnel.

He recommended hand braces.

So I wear hand/wrist braces to bed and it kind of helps.

But not really. 

But my doctor says it will go away when sister is born.

I am still amazed that there is a baby growing in my body.

My wonky body.

My belly is the oddest shape and lopsided from all the scars that I have.

BUT, sister doesn't care, she is working with the space I can give her.

Were both doing good.

My heart is full....and so is my belly.
