An Amber's Eye View

Oh no, I almost can't see my toes anymore!!! We were watching the video from my baby shower, and went back to watch footage of painting the nursery. It was a mere 2 months ago and my tummy must've seemed pretty big at the time... but compared to now it was TINY! My how you have grown little miss baby girl.

She's also starting to make her momma's life just a little more miserable each day. The other night I had Braxton Hicks contractions all night long, and last night I couldn't even sit down without getting horrible heartburn (even after taking a Pepsid). Today one of my ankles is swollen, and just walking has been putting serious strain on my lower belly. I'm sure she'll never apologize or thank me, but that's okay.

And really, it's not so bad. Most of the time I feel great, and if I wasn't documenting all of this I would probably forget the bad parts as soon as they're gone. Maybe it's helpful for my many pregnant friends to read about my aches and pains - or maybe one day my daughter will read this when she's pregnant and know that it's all normal stuff. It could happen!
