34 Weeks

The last week was long. I went back to work on Tuesday and though I was only there for 4 days, it felt like the never-ending week. And actually, we worked from 10am - 1pm on Saturday so it was almost a 5 day week.

I'm feeling better and my incision seems to be healing well. I still have a bunch of swelling at the site but hopefully that will go down soon. Other than that, I've found a somewhat comfortable position for sleeping and I can go a full day without taking anything for pain, which is nice.

The biggest hurdle is how tired I am but I don't think the surgery changed that too much. I think just being pregnant can be blamed by itself. I get home from work and I'm wiped out. Luckily Shaun has some amazing tennis ladies that have sent him home with lots of food so I really haven't had to cook. We've both eaten well and I haven't had to reduce my laziness. :)

All in all I still feel like all of this was a blessing in disguise. The timing was perfect as far as allowing me to heal before Amelia gets here. (Well, as long as she sticks to closer to her due date!) I'd much rather deal with all of this now than with a newborn at home.

6 weeks to go! I can't wait to meet her and as each day passes I wonder what she'll look like and who she'll take after. I am guessing she'll be bald as I have had absolute NO heartburn. And, I think she's going to be athletic. This kid does a number on me multiple times a day. It both mesmerizes me and annoys me because sometimes it's downright uncomfortable. Oh well, at least I know she's strong and will probably take after her daddy when it comes to athletic ability. Thank goodness! :)

That's it for now. I need a quick nap before dinner or at least just a chance to put my feet up!
