33 weeks!!!

Not too much new is happening these days. I am just getting bigger and more uncomfortable but other than that things are good. Late last week I woke up from a deep sleep with both my calf muscles knotted up. I don't think I have moved that fast in a while! Almost brought tears to my eyes. Took a couple of minutes to stretch them out and then my legs hurt the rest of the day. My ankles were pretty swollen last night and I can't eat much without getting indigestion.

Been trying to do things for myself after work...even if it's just something simple like a bubble bath (which isn't too simple to get out of these days, lol) or sitting down with a cup of hot tea and a book. Last night it was a bubble bath and my biggest accomplishment was shaving my legs! Someone should have warned me how hard it would be to shave my legs:-)

I've been thinking I'm having Braxton Hicks periodically but then I wonder if it's just Elam balling himself up...hmmm. I have another doctors appointment Friday. Hopefully I will get the okay to go to the beach next week!!

Let me just say that this picture is very unflattering and I sort of feel like a cow and normally I would not post a picture like this, but I just had to show you my halloween costume last week...zombie baby!
So here is my 33 week picture! Feeling super huge but also enjoying it at the same time as I know this will be over before I know it! So blessed to be carrying this little one!

You're so beautiful!! Just wanted to say that they are probably contractions. I would describe to my doctor what I thought felt like Jordan balling up tight and she said it was contractions because I was either on the monitor or sonogram and she was able to detect them. Your body's practicing for the real deal!! Exciting and scary I know! :-)
