Pain: I think it would be easier to bullet point physical ailments than describe them! LOL. Back. Feet. Muscles. Joints. Hoo-Ha. Sciatic pain is kicking in again, likely due to her getting lower and lower. Though strangely I'm feeling it on the opposite side than I was earlier in the pregnancy.
I must say though, I feel extremely blessed thus far to have only experienced minor nuisances and have not had any major concerns. I guess I should really wait to say that until I reach full-term because it seems to be pretty important to try and make it to that point.
Sleep: I want to punch the next person who tells me to get sleep now before she gets here!! (Sorry if you're guilty....). I haven't slept well in MONTHS, we're talking almost back to 1st trimester. I have had lucky nights in there where I was just so incredibly exhausted I slept like a dead person, but other than that I am tossing, turning, getting up to pee, sweating, Charlie horses, tossing, turning, grasping my lower ab muscles in pain. Those pains are a major culprit. Every time I roll over I have to rearrange the pillows to rest my belly appropriately so I'm not feeling an agonizing pull (OK, agonizing is a bit dramatic, but you get the point).
Nursery: Nearly done! Having it completed is such a huge relief. The things that are left to do could go undone and I wouldn't be upset. It's funny that it has weighed on me so much to get it done when we likely won't be spending much time in there for the first few weeks or months even. Nesting at its finest, I'm sure. But now I feel like if I am up for trying my hand at headbands or tutu's I have the ability to craft at a more leisurely pace.... though I'm kinda ready to put the craft bins away for a bit and just R-E-L-A-X (or browse Etsy for said creations).
Movement: She's still an incredibly active Baby, and I love it! It is the most comforting and miraculous feeling in the world. I don't care that it can get uncomfortable at times feeling the rubs up and down my rib cage like a xylophone. I know I'm going to miss it when she's not in there anymore. And I'm not sure what she was up to today, but her heart rate clocked in at 173 when it's usually in the 130's. She must've been at the Mousercise again.
Weight: still right at 24 pounds on the pregnancy. Dying to exercise or get some movement, but I've been put on "chill" mode til Sunday.... when I'm full-term! Then I can delicately get back to at least some neighborhood walking. This whole limited mobility thing sucks major ____.
Looking forward to: Making it passed the Full Moon tomorrow night!
