Lovely Bones

Hidey Ho! Well, Christmas is coming, yes indeed. Of course, Santa is the LAST thing on my mind. As we approach the holidays, all I can think about is Ziggy! People at my job keep asking me if I'm coming back after Christmas Break. I really hope to return to work after Christmas break because I don't want my baby to come early! Although, with the way I have been feeling these past two weeks, I see why people want to put a rush on delivery. Goodness gracious! Since we last touched base:

I can no longer sit at a right angle without my legs being separated.
My arms are sore as though I've been working out (sleeping on my sides has finally caught up with me).
Queesiness has returned (ugh).
I can't breathe!!!
Ziggy's bones have gotten harder and mommy feels it!!!

Kung Fu Panda is still in full effect. Those hard little bones are so intrusive when the baby kicks now. It doesn't hurt, but it feels soooo strange and it makes me gasp. The fun part is the little knots that show up on belly. I really like them!!! I have no idea what they are, some would say elbows...? It's pretty scary to think that there's a real little baby hanging out upside down in my belly.

I had one scare with the doctor. One day at work I felt menstrual-like cramps for about 2 hours straight. They scared me so I called the doctor and she said to take Tylenol and take a bath...and that if they didn't go away after 2 hours to go to labor and delivery!!!! Instantly, I started to cry. When I heard the words Labor and Delivery I froke (not a real word) out. Ziggy is only 33 weeks along!!! They reassured me that it would only be to do a few tests on me and Zig. Luckily the bath and Tylenol worked and I haven't had a single cramp. Phew!!! That scared me to death!

I'm getting Braxton Hicks more and more often (about 3 or 4 times a day), which is totally normal. All in all, I'm still comfortable about 65% of the time, which is awesome. I can't imagine going into labor anytime soon though. There are still moments when I close my eyes and don't feel pregnant. I can still sleep through the night. Who knows when Ziggy is going to come out. The first thing I'm going to do is look at that little gender...then kiss Ziggy on those juicy little lips. I'm so stoked!!!

Until next time...
