31 Weeks

I've been a very bad blogger.

My apologies to all who follow this path with me. I have no excuse other than that I've been nesting, both at home and at work, just trying to get everything in order before the real adventure begins.

I guess I should give you all a status report.

I am 31 weeks and 1 day today. I weigh more than I care to ever admit but the doctor seems to think I'm just fine. No pre-e or gd but my knees are still gone. Yeah, the swelling's out of control. The funny thing is that I get up in the morning and it's not so bad, but 10 minutes on my feet and the swelling's back. Crazy!

I'm still strugglin' with the 'flux so I've taken to sleeping on the couch most nights. I find it's easier for me to stay propped up the whole night and I don't end up having to move around as much. It seems to be working. At least I'm getting more than an hour or two of sleep.

I have barely any appetite. I pretty much hate food right now. I eat, of course. But even the thought of eating sends me into an emotional tailspin. I've had very few cravings over the course of my pregnancy so not wanting anything in particular is not new. I do like ice though. And the orange Hi-C drinks from McDonald's, which, by the way, I usually never drink. I think the heartburn and acid reflux have just done a number on me. Oh well. Maybe it's a good thing. I've gained as much as I should gain anyway.

Let's see, what else? Hmmm... Oh, I've developed a ridiculous case of restless leg syndrome and it's driving me CRAZY!!

AARRGGHH!

I hate it. It's honestly more than I can stand and I hope and pray it goes away once the baby comes.

Other than that, it looks like everything's on track. I have a few baby showers coming up so I'll post about them when the time comes, and my mom has finalized her plans for a visit once the baby gets here. Actually she and my aunt are both coming and I'm really looking forward to it.

So that's where I'm at. I'm working on another post about all the nesting I've been doing, etc. I'll try to get that posted as soon as it's finished.

I hope all my bloggie-friends are doing well. Please know I've been following along, even though I haven't posted much at all.

Take care & talk soon.
