Ok I just realized when I downloaded this photo from my card… that I LOOK MAD. Im not :) – I guess in most of these photos you can’t see my expression, but in this one you can. ohhhh well. ;-) By the time I downloaded it, it was dark out, so I was not about to retake it the next day.
I’m not mad though :)
Or sad.
Things are going well this week pregnancy wise. My back is bothering me again but I think a trip to the chiropractor will fix that. I think lifting Owen a bit to much this week flared that up. Its so hard NOT to lift him. He is still very much “a baby” in so many ways… just a really really HEAVY one. All 31 plus pounds of him. I am learning to tell him no… but its hard saying no to his sweet face when all he wants is his mommy to hold him for a bit.
I also have had some dull pains in my lower right side. It feels like its kidney pain? I just think my drinking water has been a bit slack and I was encouraged by my friend Nichole (who has 8 kids) – to drink more to help with that. So heres hoping that elevates that issue.
I feel lots of kicks :)
Laying on my back is hard now. Within minutes it bothers my lower back :-\
I WILL MISS back sleep :) – but laying on my sides is still comfortable, so no complaints.
My skin is staying clear.
Im hungry ALL THE TIME.
Still napping if possible when Owen does… helps a lot.
No swelling so far. Although as the summer heats up I am sure it will happen. Maybe the relaxing in the pool will keep that down? :) Over all, not much more to report.

Andrea, Do you ice your back? I’ve found that to be really helpful with the lower back pain. (I’m so thankful it’s warm and icing feels nice!) Also, we are about two weeks apart. My due date is October 5th. But, you know babies!

My feet are starting to swell if I’m on them too much. They look like little sausages, lol. My left rib has been bothering me. I’ve been trying to sit up straight and stretch. Baby is dancing in my belly – I need to take a pic tomorrow and post my update :-). These weeks are flying by!
