Aches and Pains

I have been so very fortunate and thankful that during this pregnancy I have had no complications!! I won't say nothing will happen, but so far, so good! I haven't been as good about walking/stretching/exercising as I should have been and Lucas has been getting on to me about that (in a nice, supportive manner, of course! haha).

Here I am at 36w3d and I am just waiting on Brock Michael Landreth to make his appearance. My hips have gotten progressively more and more stiff, sore and uncomfortable (partially due to my slack of exercising throughout my pregnancy, I know!). In the past couple of weeks, I have developed what I didn't even know was possible- pregnancy carpal tunnel!! Who would have thought that you could even GET carpal tunnel while you were pregnant?? Anyway, I guess my wrists are a bit swollen which is causing it to put pressure on my nerves and making my fingers go numb. ugh! It's not necessarily PAINFUL, but it is very uncomfortable and annoying. This too shall pass....

Other than my hips hurting and 2 of my fingers on each hand going numb, I feel great! Sleeping at night is not the easiest task, but it'll work until this baby comes! We are so looking forward to Brock joining our family and having such a wonderful blessing in our lives! Can't wait to meet him...

Soon and Very Soon...
Jessica.
