My world of misery

I’m 36 weeks and as the title to this blog suggests I am M-I-S-E-R-A-B-L-E!!! I have enjoyed this pregnancy up until this point so I guess it’s only fair that I be completely uncomfortable these last few weeks.

            The lovely city of Charleston hasn’t been any help either, as the average temperature for the past month + has been around 85-95 degrees!!! Little early to be so friggin HOT!!! Anyone who’s had a summer pregnancy knows exactly what I’m talking about! My hands and feet are swollen on an everyday basis and I had to change work shoes before I busted out of the old ones (which happen to be brand new!!)

            My co-workers probably hate me at the moment because of how cold I insist on keeping my department. Before I was pregnant I was on their side and cold all the time, most hospitals stay pretty cold. But now…..even with the AC blastin I can still break out in a sweat at any given time!!! I even chill my husband out and he’s from New Jersey!!! I sleep with a fan blowing on me and not a stitch of covers on, when I wake up he’s bundled up in the covers and begging me to turn the fan off, lol!!

            The baby shower was last week and it turned out wonderful, thanks to two of my best friends, Nicole and Gem! The food was delish, and I got of ton of presents! Jason, my mom, and I all gave Taylor a present at the baby shower. We wanted to show her that she is a part of this too and to thank her for all the things she does and will continue to help me with once the baby comes! She is growing up so fast!!

 I still have a little bit of last minute shopping to do before our lil one gets here but I was too happy when Jason and I  found her the perfect Coming Home Outfit yesterday!! It is sooo stinkin cute!! Last night I fell asleep with images of what she’s gonna look like in her lil outfit in my head, it made me smile on the inside!!! She’s not even here yet and I already love her SOO much!!!

            I can also feel my body changing as it gets ready to deliver this precious one. I don’t remember feeling this with Taylor although I’m sure I did. This time, since I have a medical background, I know what every ache and pain is! From here on out I see the doctor every week! She said I’m now at the point where I can saftely deliver her any time! I still have 4 weeks to go but I don’t know how I’m going to get through them!! If I do go early I’m hoping it will be around the 38^th week. That way I know our little one has packed on enough lbs!!

            I’ll try to post pics soon!
