I can no longer find my ankles and my feet are so swollen that they hurt and I cannot bend my toes. Acid reflux and heartburn are in full force and there is no longer much I can do to get comfortable. I always sound like I have just finished running up a flight of stairs, as it seems that I am consistently out of breath.
Hard to believe that I carried two babies last time and it felt like a much easier pregnancy.... but then again I was also five years younger and not keeping up with two four-year olds!
At any rate, it is a tad bittersweet to be approaching the end of the pregnancy. Albeit an unexpected tremendous first (pregnancy without the help of science), it is also a tremendous conclusion to our journey as a family. This is most definitely our last baby and as tired and swollen as I may be, I intend to savor each and every last moment!
