After Christmas, I definitely "hit a wall".
- * My bathroom trips at night have increased again
- * I have a lot of pressure on my lower abdomen when I walk
- * I trip over everything at work (desks, garbage cans, chairs, etc)
- * I run out of breath when teaching/talking due to my decreasing lung capacity as this baby continues to grow
- *I am apologizing to my students, telling them my brain is mush, when I have trouble explaining concepts
- *I'm very forgetful
- * Due to the pressure in my lower abdomen I am moving REALLY slow. Jason has to always wait for me when walking places....He is half way to the store as I am just turning the corner around the car! haha
- * At work I'm hearing comments like "Wow! you are pregnant!" "How much longer do you have?"...I respond 8 weeks...they respond.."Wow". "Are you doing okay" "Do you feel okay"
Overall I still feel good besides the pressure. I think if the pressure wasn't there I'd be walking normally and people wouldn't feel so sorry for me! I'm hoping to get a support belt next week. The students get a kick out of me running into things and my frequent trips to the bathroom. Jason is hanging in there with my slow pace. Jason has also been very supportive as I am not the "happy pregnant person" anymore. I think he took 10 different pictures of me today before I was happy with the way one looked! haha!

I have the opposite problem. People ask when I am due and they can't believe that it is next week already. I'm still measuring pretty small- 34 weeks.
The pregnancy belt helps A LOT. My back felt soooo much better when I would wear it while walking/standing. However, it is NOT comfortable to wear when sitting.
Hang in there Stacy! You look great. Missed you at Christmas...hope to see you soon. Keeping the three of you in our prayers.
