And so 27 weeks have arrived....the end of the second tri and the start of the 3rd. With that of course comes lots of fun....I don't bend in the middle anymore. I have seen some swelling in my ankles, yesterday I had pitting edema after a long car drive...lovely. My clavicles are slowly disappearing. My internal furnace is gearing up right in time for summer. Sleeping sucks...rolling over sucks. My pubic symphysis likes to moan and creak and send sharp pains through my body with 90% of my movements. My hormones are in high gear. I'm proud to say I am still working out 5 days per week, although I have no clue what good i am accomplishing as the weight continues to pile on at a rapid rate. I'm going to keep going maybe I will be rewarded after delivery with a very fast recovery....who knows. Everyday the girls say your belly is getting really big mom. Everyday, Emma likes to poke on what she calls my "button button" which is my fully reversed belly button and says silly things to my belly. I'm going to have a massage tomorrow thanks to the very lovely J who I think feels my stress and pain or perhaps just wants me out of the house cause I am a crazy prego woman.....
I actually got over my paranoia enough to buy the kiddo a little outfit on clearance at Old Navy and a fuzzy white blanket...miracle upon miracle, nothing bad has happened. Perhaps I should prepare a bit more, only 5000 more things to buy. That is about all for now...enjoy the photos. And btw, not as psycho or depressed as I may sound above...I am actually quite mentally stable and happy =).
