35 Weeks

I experienced one of the most bizarre and horrible pregnancy symptoms this past week.  Every time I tried to sleep it felt like bugs were crawling under my skin on my pregnant belly.  I would scratch my tummy to try and make the feeling go away but it wouldn't even matter because my stomach just felt this weird numb feeling.  What the heck!?!?!  One night I'm pretty sure I got like 2 hours of sleep because the feeling was so disturbing.  I actually used the flashlight on my phone to make sure I didn't ACTUALLY have bugs.  At my midwife appointment I learned that this is common when you start swelling and water is trapped between your skin and everything else.  You get more pressure on your tummy when you lay down, hence the weird bug crawling feeling.  Luckily, I haven't felt it the last two nights but my oh my it was the worst.  I am so tired now.  I could sleep for a week to make up for everything.  And to top it off baby #1's asthma started acting up.  For the first time in a year.  I'm so sad because we were so close to taking her off her steroids.  BBOOOOOO.  and Stress.  :(  And swelling!  I never swelled up with baby #1.  But as of this week my rings don't fit my fingers anymore and when I take off my socks I look like I have sausage ankles.  UGH yuck.

In good news, we move this weekend!  WHOHOOOOOO!  And then I will officially begin the nesting like crazy process.  I will have a whole new home to take over.  I can't even wait!  I'm so ready for baby but completely not at all at the simultaneously.  And everyone has told me that I have dropped.  Even my midwife said baby's head is riding very low in the pelvis.  And baby #1 got to hear baby #2's heartbeat for the first time.  She was in awe.  Sister memories!

Surrounded by sea of moving boxes.  Might just be the last picture in our "summer home." 35 week belly!
