Pregnancy & Showers

So I better update about the pregnancy. I feel like I have been slacking in that department. So I am 35 weeks today and time has kinda slowed down for me. I tell ya when you want it to pass it slows. When you don't want it to pass it kicks into high gear. I have been uncomfortable lately, my feet, lower legs, hands and arms itch, with an occasional belly itch. I mean my feet itch like I want to rip them off and bang them like a child having a tantrum it is so frustrating. Nothing itches like my feet and ankle area. It doesn't matter how much I scratch it itches. It seems like it is inside my foot, thinking about it makes my whole body itch. I had itchy feet with Paiglee but I know it wasn't like this, or I would have written more about it in my Prego journal with her. Heartburn is an everyday occurrence, but really nothing compared to the itchy feet. Also at night my arms fall asleep easily, and my middle and ring fingers on my right hand go completely numb and sometimes tingle. I get weird nerve sensations in them as well when I grip things. I think the way she is sitting has caused this. But once again nothing compared to the itchy feet. I can't sleep that well due to my feet itching and my arms and fingers going to sleep and becoming numb. Then you add the sore throat/head cold I have and I am a wreck. But really if it weren't for all this combined with my itchy feet I would be fine. You probably wouldn't really hear about any of it if it weren't for my stupid itchy feet. I have been so restless at night; in fact the only way I am getting this posted is by doing it at night or early morning hours. I almost feel restless and although I feel exhausted I can't sleep. Oh how I won't miss this part of pregnancy. To think I have weeks left of this kind of puts a damper on a person’s mood. But it could be worse, I know, so enough complaining.

She is doing well in there though I think, she moves a lot and loves to kick up a storm when I am really tired and just lay to rest. Other times when I haven't felt her move a ton and lay down to feel her move she doesn't. Please don't let this be a sign she is like her older sister, or me stubborn and does things on her timetable. If so just stay in there until you have a better attitude :).

Yesterday Paiglee was playing the Wii and she got a strike and she comes up to me to do a high five and completely misses and gives my stomach a high five and then me. I began to laugh and she said I high five the baby. She did this several more times and I couldn't help but think how funny it was.

Also I have had two showers, one was a surprise shower that the Young Women in my ward put on. Two girls got together and planned it and did everything and used it as a project to pass of something in their personal progress books. It was very sweet of them to do. Then I had a diaper shower that two of my friends had planned weeks before the surprise one. It was more of a personal one with just friends. It was more like a girls night and very laid back which is my kind of thing. And turns out Daryl's co-workers want to do something for me. So I have kind of felt a little fussed over and a little greedy with all the love and support people have shown.

But I have an appointment coming up so I will update more on the baby baking when that comes around.

I love the face Paiglee is making in this picture, she actually really likes to hold the paper and be in the picture with me.

I know I have slacked on taking more prego pictures as well but life gets busy
