Over the last few weeks being pregnant has been pretty sucky. I’ve experienced exhaustion, the likes of which I’ve not felt since the first trimester, excruciating pains in the back of my upper thigh that made me limp and woke me in the night, dull pains when I get out of bed, and the sudden awareness of my cervix, which oustide of my yearly gynecologist appointment, was never something I’d noticed before. The baby is now head down and the pressure at times is uncomfortable at best. The baby’s also been moving around like crazy, spending way too much time punching and headbutting by bladder.
It doesn’t help that I’ve now gained 50 pounds. Almost none of my clothes fit and trying to move around with 50 additional pounds has made all of the symptoms I’ve described even worse. I don’t know how I’m going to do this for another 5 weeks. Things could get ugly around here.
The good news is that the baby is healthy. We went for an ultrasound last week and got to see the little cutie. We’re in love.

Wow! Ultrasound pictures are so super cool…even though they kind of freak me out a little bit.
Can’t wait to see real live pics of your new love!

Now THAT looks like a baby… most ultrasounds don’t quite look human, at least to my untrained eye.
