Week 18

Good Afternoon my pets,

It is week 18. A week from today (Dec 23rd to be exact) we will know if i will be having a prince or a princess haha!! I can't wait. sometimes i try to forget about it so i'm not so anxious but then i remember and i just CAN"T WAIT!

Things are goin' alright, I'm still really tired all the time. It's better than the first trimester, but i'm still going to bed early at around 8:30-9 and it's really hard to get up. Going back to sleep after the 2:30 pee is getting harder because Aaron's snoring makes me want to kick him really hard hahaha..but I know i snore too (and worse since the pregoness) but man i want to punch him haha (in a loving way of course). And the carpal tunnel of course is really really bothering me still. It's just really painful in the morning (see glowing red part in illustration) i can barely make a fist int he morning. I know I'm whiny !! I'm going to mention it to my dr. next week to see if they can steer me towards the braces to wear at night. ouchy!!

Week 17

Hello my pets,

I know I skipped a week. Last week was pretty tough at work and I was exhausted by the end of it. Maybe it was normal and I was just particularly tired ha! I just know that I'm glad last week is behind me.

I feel fluttering this week. It started at the end of last week. I'm 95% sure it's the wee one in there. The fluttering will start when i sit down at my desk or when I lie down to go to bed. That's when i notice it at least.

This past weekend i divulged in my Birthday present from the hubby. I cashed in on the massage he got me. This magic man was wonderful. His name is Craig Cravens on the southside. I told him that my paws hurt because my carpal tunnel was flaring now that I'm pregnant. My hands literally are numb every morning and ache like someone stomped on them at night. My sister n law said this will be fine after i have the wee one, it just gets really bad durning pregnancy...i love how they all told me selective things about being pregnant. Then they let loose the bad stuff once you're in it. I think I hear them snickering hahahah. ANYWAY back to the massage...this man massaged my hands and forearm and it was magical. In his workds he said "oh girlll..this feels like a guitar string" I could definitely tell when he hit the hot spots ..it was a good hurt though. And yesterday morning i noticed my hands were SCADS betta~!!! I might save up to get a 30 min hand massage if it gets icky again. He showed me some great stretches. Luckily the worst is in the morning and by late morning I'm fine.

In the meantime the countdown continues till we find out if the baby has a hooo hoo or a hoo ha. I can't wait. I still dont' think i'm showing, i think I still just am looking fat, but that comes w/ the territory of being a chub pre-pregnancy, it just makes me sad sometimes.

I hope all the rest of you are enjoying your holiday season!!!

love,
Amo
