At last week's doctor's appointment, my belly had gotten bigger but my weight had stayed the same (whew!). I wasn't surprised that my belly was bigger; it really seemed to grow quite a bit at home, at least in my estimation. So here's the photographic evidence:
I've been feeling a little better these last few days; at least I've been able to sleep at night. My back pain isn't as bad, and the mysterious rib pain has all but disappeared, thank goodness! I still have to wear the compression stockings every day (which don't eliminate the ankle/foot swelling, but they reduce it), and the carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrist is still present (although I'm basically used to it at this point).
All in all, I am really looking forward to all these symptoms disappearing after the baby is born, but I still feel lucky that my pregnancy has gone so smoothly!
P.S. A bit of good news: the furniture store called today to say they have been able to expedite things slightly. The crib and dresser shipped Friday and should arrive in town within 9 business days. Then they can be delivered here to the house. So that puts us at the third week of March instead of the fourth. Not perfect, but definitely better.
