Nearly 33 Weeks!

This is the point in the pregnancy where I think you feel every moment of the wait. The baby's head is down and I certainly feel all 4ish or 5ish of his pounds. It's been very comforting to get into the pool and relieve some of the pressure on my legs, groin, hips, and back. Between that and sleeping I still manage to be comfortable for several hours each day. I can't look at food without putting on weight anymore, but I'll chalk it up to baby - he's supposed to be gaining about 1/2 a pound each week now. His feet have settled firmly in my ribcage and his head mercilessly on my bladder. I have only 5 weeks of work left until my maternity leave starts and I'm very excited for that. The pregnancy itself is not so bad, it's the pregnancy plus having to do anything besides lie in bed/swim in the pool that causes some discomfort. People are very sympathetic at this point :) everyone wants to know how I feel and hopes that the baby will be on the early side. There is a full moon on July 26th and I'm sincerely hoping that it ushers in our little one two weeks early. Here's hoping!!
