I don't know if it's because I'm 7 months pregnant, or the Arizona heat, or standing on my feet all day, or a mix of everything, but my feet are starting to get really swollen and often feel like they're on fire. They seriously turn red! I need to find a way to put them up while I'm sitting at my desk at school. I'm also getting dizzy/lightheaded more often (which most likely means I need to drink more water and/or eat more). Plus I'm always sooooooo tired. I guess these side effects of pregnancy could be worse...
Natalie can now see in the womb, so we'll play games with her using flashlight to make her move. :) She also moves a lot during our band rehearsals, especially during the loud - sorry, "fortissimo" - percussion or brass passages!
As her birthday draws nearer, and with a couple baby showers around the corner, we're getting more and more excited for her arrival! Brian and I just can't wait to hold her in our arms! I seriously thought I'd never get to have a baby (let alone a baby SHOWER), so I'm sure I'll be an emotional mess at those events.
It helped me to soak my feet in water at the end of the day and have Mark give me a foot massage after!
ReplyDeleteAlso- you are totally allowed to cry at every baby shower you have!!
2 more months is not that long...enjoy your last few selfish weeks because you won't have any after Natalie gets here!!
