Giiiiirrrllll! Look at that prego belly! Oh, man, totally sympathize with you about the feet. I am really hoping I don't have to deal with that for a while longer. I had it really bad with my son, they just ached so bad from all that fluid. It's so weird to squish them too, kinda reminds me of some kind of weird kids toy with gel in it. lol. I remember going to get a pedicure a few weeks before I had my son, and the lady looked kind of disgusted to have to deal with my big fat feet, but all I wanted was the foot massage. She would barely rub them at all because she was afraid she'd put me into labor. lol.

too funny

I know that yesterday I was feeling fine and today my tummy HURTS.

ITS ONLY WHEN I WALK. I feel throbbing pain on my right side. Kinda feels like the same kind of pressure you get when you are backed up really bad (TMI) but only on my right side and only when I walk.

Wondering if it is something I should be worried about. Any ladies exp the same thing?

Whats the temp in Texas? My SIL and BIL live there....Its actually cool in MN today as we are getting a ton of rain.

Right now its 87 degrees, but I am in a warehouse and in the back in an uninsulated office with no breeze so it feel way worse...

My doc said to put my feet up as often as possible..but I have nowhere to do that in my office.. I tried making a makeshift stand out of some boxes but the sides of the box just dug an indention in my leg...and it took an hour for that indention to go away damn water retention.

I am trying to drink lots of water..but I cant help it .. My biggest craving is Dr. Pepper.. I am trying to limit myself to 1-2 a week... ARRRG

 

[KozmikKitten]

wow you are doing really good with restricting your soda intake! I just came from lunch and had 16 oz of mnt dew. I havent been trying to restrict it at all. Oops! I have my feet propped up on my computer but I get really stiff pretty quickly so I cant stay like that for long.

 

[bizzy27]

Dont let me fool you my friend.

I may have my soda intake down..but I struggle with my diet... Its just soo difficult when you crave things.

I have gained 13 lbs all together and I am told my goal was 15-20 max.. I still have 10 weeks left!!!

Kozmik, I'm so bad about it too. I don't drink it all the time, but if I want pop I want a big ole bottle of Mt dew.

Bizzy, it also helps to try to elevate your feet higher than your body to help drain the fluid back to body level. I used to sit in the recliner when I got home, and I stacked pillows under my legs to get them higher than my body.

 

[KozmikKitten]

Oh man lets not get started on weight gain!

OK Hopefully this works! Heres the "sneak peak" of my maternity shoot last night. It will take a week or two to get the whole set. (and hopefully they dont come out huuuuge!)

 

[jd83]

Oooo love it! Very cute!

 

[BabyBumpLove]

Beautiful pictures!

 

[bizzy27]

You pictures are beautiful!! I love it.

I am excited about my shoot this Sunday. This is the most exciting time of the pregnancy.. When everything starts coming together... (well other than the day you find out, your first sonogram, gender scan, first movements) Okay nevermind..its alll exciting...

I posted some of these pics before I think, but the first one is new. So now the room is completely done Woohoo! I got the poster in the mail yesterday, and we just moved the rocking chair and ottoman into the room from my son's room. I'm def getting excited now!

Really looking forward to this weekend; my brother's girlfriend has her baby shower Saturday, and its a long weekend for us US ladies with Memorial Day on Monday! Yay, no work!

The room looks amazing! After seeing your nursery all done I'm feeling a bit panicked. All I have done so far is freshly painted walls. My husband still has to put up new trim (we are replacing our maple trim with white) and put together the crib and changeable. How do I get him to realize that he needs to get this done? He keeps putting it off cause we have " lots of time."

Just get hormonal with him! Lol. My hubby was the same way, didn't understand why I wanted it done right now. I just kept telling him I'd rather have it all done now while I still have a little energy left, and before I'm so big all I wanna do is sit in the middle of a sprinkler cooling off. Lol
