Pains and Baby Hiccups With much lower back and pelvic pain, it's harder to walk around. i can see why pregnant woman walk like a penguin. I can feel her weight so much more. And as the days progress, my wrist is hurting so much more also. It's to the point where it's hard to even write or type, but I need to remind myself that it's almost over! I can't find even find a good sleeping position without her poking at me either. I am definately to the point of my 3rd trimester where I am slowing down in everything that I do. Shortness of breath and with her kicking me all over, especially my ribs. All that certainly doesn't help when I want to fold all the clothes or cook after a long day at work. She sends me signals to slow down and just rest. Sometimes I want to resist and just keep going, but for her I need to listen to her needs and what my body is telling me. Many mommies have told me it's important to just rest for the 3rd trimester. My doc has also told me the same thing. But I have alot to do! I will at least get some last major cleaning by hiring some cleaning ladies to clean my home when my due date is near. They're really inexpensive since it's a referral. I will only need them once. I'm excited for the place to be spotless for our baby arrival!
With so much uncomfortable challenges happening to my body, I should not complain because my baby girl manages to still put a smile on my face. I drank lots of water last night and when I sat down, she had some hiccups. I can't explain it but I can feel it consecutively every 2-3 seconds underneath my naval area. I think she's heads down again. I haven't felt that for a while and luckily Kris was around. When he felt her hiccups, he was sooo amazed!!! We must have felt her hiccupping at least 15x. It was amazing and again with all the discomforts, I will miss her being inside of me!

Our Registry Every one is already asking us where we're registering. That means the time is near for baby to be out. We're soo excited to meet her, although I will tremendously miss her presence in my belly. Kris and I decided to register at Baby's R US. We didn't register much because we were more concerned about the bigger items. It isn't practical to fill up our home with tons of toys and little things that aren't necessary. Just the essentials are enough. Besides Cindy has some hand me down clothes for our baby girl. I've also been shopping a little for her already. Well, don't forget thaf gift cards are welcomed
We just found our crib at a store call "Bergstroms". They're only located in Orange County. I really like their massive and dependable selections. Thankfully, Kris's step dad purchased the crib for us as his gift. That was very generous of him! With Kris being a handy craftsman, I gave him the job to select whatever crib he wanted for our babygirl. It's a 4 in 1 meaning it can convert to a toddler and full size bed frame!Luckily they had this really nice one on clearance. Can't go wrong with sidewalk sales. We got an awesome deal on it. We would've love to register there too, but they only have 2 locations here in Orange County. Again, gift cards are welcomed here as well.
There's so much to think about and to do...I'm running out of time!!! I only have about 2.5 months left!!! My goodness where did the time go? I am looking forward to meeting her and wearing my normal clothes again!!! This weight gaining and pregnancy clothes sure doesn't help a women's self esteem. But, it's all worth it!!!

She will complete me... After realizng that I only have 3 months left before giving birth. I will truly miss my baby being inside of me. She brightens up my day whenever i feel her move and responding to me when I talk to her. I must admit, she's quite a wiggle worm now and days! The bond we have are not measurable,. I hear it often that women do miss that the most during pregnancy. I know what they're talking about now. I will try to treasure and care for her as much as i can these last months. I am looking forward to meeting her soon and being a mother. When that moment comes, I'm sure she will give me the love that no one else can give. She will complete me and our family to be. Love ya baby!

Pregnancy CARPE-TUNNEL! Oh dear, my numbness in the arms has now turned my wrist into carpe tunnel, in both wrists too. The nurse told me it's common during pregnancy and it will go away after pregnancy. OMG, i have to wait another 3 months before my wrist get's better? EEEKKK!!!! It hurts, I can't do too much with my wrist, like typing too much, doing dishes, comb my hair, and the list goes on. She said it's due to me retaining more fluid in my body. I was adviced to stay away from ointments and just wear wrist guards. I'm going to not let it affect me and just realize that all these discomforts will go away and stay positive. As long as she stays and comes out healthy. That's all I care. She will always come first and I will always worry about myself later.
