Last Trimester

Okay so much for blogging about my pregnancy. My last post was in November and now the baby is already here. Here is a quick run down of how my last trimester went.

It wasn't too bad until I got to month 9. I had gotten used to the lack of sleep and the water retention. You should have seen my legs - they seemed to double in size. If I even put on a pair of shoes my feet would spill out over them. I also got clumsy but didn't seem to suffer much from pregnancy brain. ( I don't think) But the worst pregnancy side effect was the numbing of my hands. The carpal tunnel syndrome seemed to develop in the 8th month and progressively got worse throughout the rest of the pregnancy.

My hands felt as thought I'd been sleeping on them and cut off all circulation. I even bought a brace to hopefully help. It really didn't. So everyday my hands would be all tingly and sometimes it hurt so bad that it woke me up from sleeping.

Didn't exercise too much during the last few months. I felt clumsy and uncomfortable. All really too bad since I had imagined I'd be this supermom and workout until the very last day. Oh well at least you loose weight during breast feeding.

The baby has gotten into a hiccuping routine. He/she hiccups on a regular basis at 3 to 4am. And I feel every one of them. I'm told it's from swallowing all the amniotic fluid when they are trying to practice breathing.
