Before I got knocked up, I used to talk about how horrible (pronounced har-I-bul) it was going to be whenever I got pregnant when the swelling kicked in because of my already large hands and feet. The thought disgusted me. Now, that time has come. The date: September 1, 2012. It was the result of the Baby Shower my family threw for us. While it was uncomfortable, it was totally worth it ;) My feet won't fit into my new Danskos, and that gives Austin two reasons to be displeased with the fact that I got more shoes when I get home today haha :)
This 33rd week may have been the best week of pregnancy for me. Week 32 ended with a scare and full of orders from my doctor to take it easy and slow down: "moderated bed rest" is what he called it. I couldn't have gotten that in Juneau because it's just Austin and I and we are stuck in our ways. Luckily, the doc okayed me to fly and I was able to come back to my family for a week who ensured I wasn't doing anything I wasn't supposed to and helped me rest up. I was fed, entertained, loved... People helped me put my moccasins on! And I came to the conclusion that I should have gotten pregnant YEARS ago!
Just kidding :)
It was the best for me to come home-home and get the rest my doctor ordered. My family consists of my mom who had 5 children of her own, and my sisters who have 4-5 children of their own, and my brother and his lady...and my brother is pro at being pregnant and is always telling me how to do it...so I had a lot of help this week. When I said I felt something, they listened and helped me through it. I loved being home and having so much help around. I know we will need it when baby gets here and it makes it hard to leave my family today to go home to Juneau and Austin. I wish I could take my family with me!
The family we are bringing this baby into really is pretty great, and I couldn't be happier. This has been a good week. I was able to get some shopping done, and finally when I get home I will be able to nest like I've wanted to for some time. It's becoming all the more real that baby is coming! Definitely the best week so far. Seeing my kids and how excited they are for a little baby to join the family was one of the best parts too. All of this made it easier for me to deal with that whole swelling part of pregnancy, haha. It isn't that big of a deal after all :)
So Cheers, ladies and gentlemen. Let's begin week 34!!
