Okay… just thought I would post some honest thoughts.
I FINALLY hit the point where I am visibly pregnant (well… given I wear sweaters and coats all the time, it still isn’t “that” obvious.) However, to me – I look pregnant.
And it’s getting uncomfortable to move, sleep and just “be.” This week I have really noticed pain in my lower back and ribs – it’s tough to sit at my desk all day. And my skin just feels like it’s getting pulled really tight, which just plain doesn’t feel very good. I think I have gained about 5-6 pounds now. Sleeping is a bit uncomfortable now too – SIGH.
Not that I feel good about complaining though… This has been one very long “journey” to create a family, so I want to make sure the “feeling blessed” part is clearly stated. J I just want to make sure I document my pregnancy feelings along the way.
I won’t see my doctor again until March 28th – so a couple more weeks (and even that won’t be much of a checkup.) I think they will do the glucose screening in April, to check for gestational diabetes. Other than that, it’s just sort of moving along at this point. I can definitely feel movement now – he can be an active little fellow when he wants!

After Joe was born I realized that all that movement was just him practicing his flip turns.....with those flipper feet.... :o)
You may complain (just not to couples going through IF!!!!) but it is very uncomfortable for some women! I couldn't wait to be done. Heidi
