Lest you all think that I've become one of those sunshiny people, where everything goes perfectly (you should all know me better than that), here's some other things going on that hasn't made the blog.
My joints are really loosening up. So hips, pelvis, knees, tailbone, back, etc. are very sore. Tylenol doesn't really help either. I'm going to the chiropractor weekly now, so he can put me back together.
The baby is moving like crazy- I'm talking jumping jacks! Steve's found that if I spoon up behind him in bed, he gets a nice lower back massage. Steve thinks this is really cool - I do not. :)
Even with the frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom, I still find myself awake between 3-4 AM. It's very weird - the baby isn't awake and moving around, but I find myself wide awake. It's completely bizarre, and doesn't make a good nights sleep for me or Steve.
Everything is swollen. Especially my hands (no more rings) and my feet & legs (cankles, yuck!) I really look forward to my massages.
On the plus side...one of my coworkers completely got us set up with baby gear yesterday. His youngest is 4 years old, and he was looking to offload a TON of baby stuff, and Steve and I were the lucky recipients! Yippee! So the registry got reduced to account for all of the stuff that we got yesterday. The funny part is that Steve and I had just sent Steve's parents home with a bunch of our big stuff to make room for baby stuff, and we had those spaces filled again only a few hours later. It's a lot easier to believe a baby is coming soon, now that we have a bunch of gear around the house.
