36.

Blah. No picture today. My week mark was actually yesterday, but it's been a crazy week. Noah had a little procedure on Tuesday to redo another little procedure he had done the day he was born (if you know what I mean...) and while he's doing REALLY great, he has been a lot more needy and tender. So we've just been trying to lay low and keep he and Cami from wrestling too much...

I've been feeling pretty awful. I've been having sharp pains in my pelvis and if I sit down for any amount of time and try to get up, I'm as sore and stiff as can be, and yet if I DON'T sit down frequently, I get dizzy, nauseous, and feel like blacking out. Quite the conundrum. I almost blacked out while driving to walmart (like 5 minutes from my house) and had to pull over just short of the walmart parking lot to regain control. Luckily Blair was in the car with us and was able to take over from there. I know it's not normal for the wife to drive when the husband is available, but I really like control, so I usually insist on being the one driving. Especially while pregnant because I can anticipate all the turns and bumps and not feel like I'm being thrown around willy nilly. I'm weird, I know. But that experience has led to Blair taking the wheel anytime he's around. And yet, I still get dizzy and nauseous even while in the passenger seat. Lame. Also, I've been avoiding going ANYWHERE without Blair. Which means it took me all week to answer "yes" to the "Are you going grocery shopping today?" question. Sorry, Blair...

I can still sleep fairly well through the night, maybe having to get up once to go to the bathroom, but I do well otherwise. It's when I wake up in the morning that I have issues. I wake up stiffer than ever and feel like my legs don't work. Yesterday morning was the worst. I woke up with leg-aches in both legs from the tips of my toes to my hip joints. The pain was incredibly awful and throbbing, and yet, I couldn't just lay in bed because my poor Noah wakes up without any pain meds in his system (just from sleeping them off) and is pretty "ouchie" in the mornings.  I sure hope the boy heals very soon...:(

I'm big and huge and have many fewer shirts that I feel comfortable wearing these days but refuse to purchase a single additional item since I'm so close. It's annoying. Even a few of the pieces of clothing that I SWORE would make it all the way are feeling like they just don't fit quite right. I feel like I wear the same thing every day. It really bugs me.

Anyway. Usually I try to dumb it down for the "official record", but I just don't have a filter these days, and so that's that!  Pregnancy pretty much bites. Can't wait to see this cute, sweet little girl and to be done being this way!
