Almost 35 weeks

I feel like an aged woman these days. And yet, I am definitely not ready to give up the feeling of the baby moving inside! I tell Dan all the time, "I love being pregnant" and he looks at me funny. He knows how hard it has been physically this time around towards the end, but yet I still love the feeling of being pregnant. 

I still have nerve pain up and down my right side that can be quite crippling. My back pain isn't as severe as it had been, and it's usually worse in the morning. But, now I have carpal tunnel's in my hands and it's creeping up my arms. It's not much fun to go numb when trying to brush my teeth, shave my legs, hold my poor Beebster, or even hold their little hands. My fingers start to tingle when I try and button their buttons or tie Maddie's new shoes, etc. On top of that, my feet are now swollen and that also is creeping up the bottom part of my legs. It's a lot worse at night when the walking around has caught up to me. Dan gets on my case about just laying down, but there is always something that has to be done. Needless to say, my feet look like an old woman's slippers by 11pm or so and it is quite painful at times.
