32 Weeks & 5 days along...

Posted Aug 3rd, 2009 at 11:02 AM by Afro-Sheen

I am getting closer to the finish line, but WHY does it seem so much harder now that im nearing the end. The back & ligament pain is ridiculous now! I have to get up very slow, and kinda stretch it out 1st and then walk half way normal. Oh and now I think I have been getting the Braxton Hicks contractions irregularly, how do I describe .... just odd tightening sensation that makes me stop for a minute and breathe and gently rub my tummy! Mommies is that how you felt when you were preggo?

In other news my son is sick. Not sure what happened but he was coughing a storm and yesterday got a high fever. He refused to eat anything, we offered him so many different things. Didn't even want milk.

Gave him Tylenol, he is better today, but hopefully will be much better soon and back to his playful self. Gosh I wish parenting was easier and we didnt have to have our babies get sick on us....how togh it must be for a poor little baby. Khair.

I have my bi-weekly appointment tonight, should be fine, get back some ultrasound results, but the tech told me all is well so not concerned. Just yeah I got water retention, and I havent cut back on enough salt

It doesn't help that every other fool at work and outside feels they have the right to walk up to me and make snide comments about my belly and how big it is, and that im gonna pop anyday now. Thank you very much but my doc says I am doing JUST fine and that's all I am concerned about. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Hope everyone is doing good! Tis the beginning of an exhausting/hectic work week. The only good news is we have a dinner planned this Thursday night! The whole team/spouses etc are going out to some Portuguese place in Newark....yeay!! I wish it was italian so id have more food options!!!!

	Aww Afro, i hope it all goes well for you. And i know what you mean about those ligament pains... they're a killer. Ohhh and if you're going to a Portuguese place, skip to dessert and get Pasteis De Nata, it's like a custard tart and it's yummy!

	how about a sitting up back massage? tuck a pillow under your belly and just get hubby to gently massage your back. that used to help me alot

	Well he massages my back and legs each night, but that helps for a whole 5 mins. Once I lay down and get up I get pains all over again It's ok, just a little while longer left Inshallah. And that whole bit about take enough calcium and you wont get leg cramps is a lie!!!

	Yes, all that is exactly how it is. You know people say that if pregnancy and childbirth were that awful, all these women in the world wouldn't be having babies left, right, and centre. I don't think it's cuz it's not awful, it's because we eventually forget. God has designed us in a way so that we suffer temporary memory loss when it comes to wanting/having babies.
