Rough around the edges

29 weeks and 4 days and almost two weeks into the third trimester and I'm starting to get uncomfortable. I think our schedule has finally caught up with me and Baby Bob (who is measuring 2.5 weeks ahead) is getting big. I was telling my mom that I'm feeling rough around the edges - tired, sore, having trouble sleeping, heartburn, frequent braxton-hicks - you know...all the fun stuff. :) It's all worth it, but I have to say the honeymoon phase ended dramatically and quickly. I actually had to come home today from work b/c I starting feeling very strange, sick to my stomach and frequent contractions. When I got home, I realized that Baby Bob was laying transverse - meaning longways across my stomach! It was putting pressure on my back and I think pinching a vein. I slept, but woke up nauseous and achy. He/She has since moved, but I still feel pretty rough almost like a hangover. Oh well - enough complaining!

My sister Amy has her new one on Monday and I can't wait. I wish I could go out and meet he/she sooner, but no trips to Chicago planned till after the baby. :( The baby is measuring really big which means healthy, but it also means a scheduled due date. I'll be thinking of you Mimi!!!
