3/15 Thoughts

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!

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
