Was this Chair ever comfortable?

As baby and I grow bigger I am finding it extremely difficult to get comfortable. As this creative spurt of mine has my mind whirling, I want to sit at my computer and read blogs. Check out some photography tutorials. Write a bit. Edit some pictures. But I can't seem to sit here for very long before I become extremely uncomfortable. Never mind the heat. I have the A/C running as I sit here in t-shirt and boxers with sweat running down my face. Oh the joys of pregnancy. At least the little guy is keeping me company with his little kicks and punches.

Of course Chichi can get comfy anywhere. I envy her.

We went for my prenatal check up yesterday. The doctor measured my belly and checked the little one's heart beat. He's growing well :) I only gained 3Lbs since my last visit. One pound more than what you're "supposed" to gain on "average"... I do worry about it. It's a crazy phenomenon my mom likes to call "having access to too much information!" Anyway, doc never mentions my weight so I shouldn't worry. Of course I won't start a diet of ice cream sundaes either.

I mentioned my puffy ankle and she checked my blood pressure. That is fine, so it could be the humidity. It could also be too much salt in my diet. For that I am probably guilty. Sweets I can usually walk away from. Salty food on the other hand I cannot resist!! She also suggested I rest with my feet elevated. Otherwise, its a normal pregnancy symptom.

So then I mentioned my moodiness. The doctor just told me to blame hubby. Then she made sure we knew she was joking. But once again just another pregnancy normalcy. And she told hubby to not take it personal. I liked the blame it on him advice better though.

I forgot to mention my light-headedness, which seems to have passed now anyway. But the "pregnancy brain" is kicking in big time. I HAVE to write lists now just to keep my life in order. Then I HAVE to remember to read the lists!
