Today I have reached 38 weeks of my pregnancy and am getting more and more excited about the arrival of our baby boy! Not long now with only two weeks to go, I can’t wait.
I’ve been feeling quite tired recently and have been doing my best to get as much sleep as I can because I’m sure we are going to have a wild ride over the next few months with not a great deal of sleep!
This week has been frustrating with swelling feet, I do my best to stay off them and keep them elevated but it doesn’t seem to help. I’ve also resorted to putting a wrapped ice pack on them occasionally to help reduce the swelling of my feet and ankles. At least my blood pressure is not up, so no need to worry about them too much. I just do my best to relieve any discomfort.
As for my actual size I’m really not finding that I’m uncomfortable at all. Addison still loves to get up under my ribs which is the most discomfort I would face (not much to complain about in the grand scheme of things). He continues to have hiccups about 3 or 4 times a day and moves around a great deal. They say that babies slow down with the movements in the later stages of pregnancy… I guess Addi didn’t get the memo about that one!
