Week 36

My hands since I started the 3rd trimester and my feet occasionally swells up as well. The other night Paul looked down at my feet and said my ankles are gone...
True enough, my feet and ankles were so swollen, they look like large sausages.
Ah...another fun fact about pregnancy.




Other than swollen feet, I've also experienced false labor known as Braxton Hicks. I didn't realize that's what was happening last Friday night. I was feeling lots of pressure and tightness. I could not get into a comfortable position when I try to go to bed. I finally got some shut eye at 5 a.m. the next day -- good thing it was the weekend. I guess my body is just preping for the impending labor.

Of course, I've also gained 7 more pounds since my last dr's visit. Urgg..I'm having a really hard time controlling my weight gain. The lack of exercise and craving for sweets probably doesn't help much. I'm going to have to try harder in the next few weeks to eat healthier, go for walks up until the baby comes.

Tomorrow is my last day at work so yeah!!!
