Numb Hands, Grateful Heart

I had an orthopedic appointment today.  I’ve been having issues with carpal tunnel the last few weeks.  The OB said that while this is normal, it doesn’t usually start until much later in pregnancy.  *sigh* Just add it to the growing list of never-ending symptoms…symptoms I’ll take, knowing what the end result will be. 

We got a call from the genetics counselor today – everything looks completely normal!  Such good news for us and our little Blueberry.

I have been gaining weight like crazy.  Seriously.  I’m hardly eating anything due to the nausea, but the weight keeps coming on.  None of my pants fit anymore!  I’m trying to be okay with this, but I am struggling.  I think I have spent so much time and energy losing weight over the past few years that it’s difficult to watch it all come back on.  My OB continues to remind me that it’s normal and some women put weight on faster or earlier than others…I’m trying to just accept it.  Kristin is being supportive – she even ordered me some shirts from Motherhood Maternity and literally dragged me into a Motherhood Maternity store to buy my first pair of maternity jeans.  They are pretty much amazing.  As is Kristin.
