It has hit me – I am officially feeling large and in charge at 30 weeks. The past few days have been the roughest in this pregnancy – feeling very “strained,” getting tired, always starving, and overall just crummy. I am hoping that it is because I was in the car for over 11 hours last weekend (so worth it to see my Columbus ladies!!!), but I think that this may be the beginning of end! I remember with Jack, my leg pain was so bad in the past 2 weeks that everyone was commenting on the terrible Daffy-Duck-like walk I had taken up…I was lovely on the eyes, I am sure.
Braxton-Hicks contractions have begun, especially while at work, and the super-fun round ligament pain is shooting down my leg. Awesome. :-) It is all more than worth it in the end, but the next 10 (hopefully) weeks might be pretty tough! In terms of comparisons to my first pregnancy, I have not gained as much weight (about 5 lbs less at this point), but feel overall about the same in the way that I am carrying. The baby is definitely moving higher and stretching his/her legs, as it has really been liking to elbow/knee/kick/punch me in the lungs this week…Cool for about 5 minutes and then just annoying! :-)
Scott leaves for a work trip to India next Tuesday for almost 2 weeks, so we are starting to get very sad and Mommy is getting nervous about 2 weeks alone with a very active 2 year old…
