That's One Busy Body!

It is still so hard to get used to the feeling of another human being living inside of me.  You would think after a couple weeks of feeling her, I would just get used to it.  Nope especially not, when she wakes  me up in the middle of the night kicking and it takes a minute to remember that it is the baby inside of you.  She is almost to the point that I bet any day you will be able to see my stomach move when she kicks or catches me with an elbow.  Last night she was moving around for more than an hour while Pat and I watched What Happens in Vegas.

Thankfully I got through last week and today brings a new day and a new week.  Monday I felt great, I had the day off, went snowshoeing, shoveled the porch, took Trey to the vet and cooked Pat some dinner.  Well Tuesday was horrible! I felt tired, hungry, had a stomach ache and I was emotional.  Wednesday through Friday was the same except on Friday I felt my hands and feet start swelling! I swear I could feel my stomach growing everyday!  Well I got thinking and realized that maybe I need to slow down a bit.  I had to remind myself that I am 7  months 

pregnant! OOpps.   So yesterday I went to coach basketball from 8:30-11:30 and came home and slept the entire day!  

So far today I feel better.  I now have to cut out the salt in my diet, starting resting with my feet up a little more often and I am going to grab some bananas at the store.  I didn't really want to have to start dealing with this yet but I don't really have a choice.  I have been reading online and swelling is pretty normal at this point.  It said that the fluids are important for labor and the baby.  It was just weird that one day I was fine and the next day I couldn't get my rings off.  

11 weeks left!

**Oh I also stopped at Target after going to my Women's League game (to watch) and got my first nursing bra.  How interesting!  I have it on in the picture if you are wondering.
