• we have now ventured into the phase where penny loves to rest on my bladder, and occasionally she gives me a good kick to the hooha.  i know. it is as pleasant as it sounds.

• holy heart burn batman.  the last week every time i get into bed the heart burn rages! its kinda the worst.  hopefully this doesnt continue for the remainder of pennys stay in my belly.

• have i mentioned the swelling yet.  if i have. i think its worth mentioning again.  at the end of my work day i trudge home on what would appear to be elephant feet.  they balloon up like mad, more specifically the right one…i dunno whats wrong with that foot, but its got some issues.  i sit with my feet up on the back of the couch for about an hour to get those puppies back in shape.  but oy are they barkin these days.

• all of a sudden its like my stomach is up in my chest next to my heart.  i cannot eat like i was eating before (which is probably a good thing, because i am well over the “recommended weight gain”…25 to 35 pounds…ha!

• finally got that lower back pain everyones been talking about.  when i get up for my nightly bathroom sesh at 4am, i walk to the bathroom like a 90 year old woman, not really getting upright again until just before i smack back into our bed (as gracefully as i can)

• this bump now hits all things.  door knobs, the corner of the counter top, brett, pretty much anything in its path.  good thing our baby is in a protective bubble or i might be a little worried about it.

• bar chairs, stools, or higher seating places in general are really really hard to get in and out of.  i refuse to let it defeat me.

the adventures continue…
