Typical
I just tried to go have lunch with my friends but my shoes wouldn’t fit. Oh sure one pair had been a little tight but I could wear them without it hurting or anything. But today my feet are already so swollen that the shoes literally would not go on my feet. I’m trying not [...]
33 weeks
This week I put on 5 lbs, however Laura said it could be the water retention. I am at 181! My fundal height (size of my uterus) is at 41 cm so if I was a carrying a single baby I’d be overdue. My blood pressure is still excellent and while my cervix is starting [...]
skin changes
One reason I started this blog was to record my pregnancy experience for myself as well as for other women or even men who might be interested. The body changes in so many ways during a pregnancy; some changes are amazing and beautiful, some are weird, some painful or uncomfortable. Usually about once a week [...]
bloated ankles
Edema is gross… my ankles and toes are so swollen that I feel I have hobbit feet. No other swelling though so it’s nothing to be worried about.

I finally have edema as well. It’s only in my ankles and Laura said not to be concerned unless I notice my face swelling because then it would be a sign of blood pressure issues caused by preclampsia. I feel better about it knowing I have my blood pressure checked once a week. I can [...]

pregnancy randomness
Donuts, at 10 PM. This time it was Duncan Donuts. Much yummier options then Krispy Kreme in my opinion but it was all cravings so I take no responsibility!
I can’t eat much in one sitting any longer so I’m hungary every few hours. I even wake up in the middle of the night or early [...]
Quickie
My belly button is officially an “outtie”!
(About) Six weeks to go!!
I had both OB and Preterm Labor Prevention appointments today. My weight has stayed the same, however I’ve grown over a centimeter in the size of my uterus. Both boys are currently head down!! Well Forest is in a weird diagonal position but his head is down which is a good thing. [...]
Not complaining, just mentioning
There have been some interesting pregnancy side effects that I have forgotten to mention lately. Everyone says that once the babies are born the pregnancy experience is pretty much forgotten so I want to keep a memory of everything.
Several months back I bought some cute slip on tennis shoes that are also very stretchy. [...]
