32 Weeks

Here I am at 32 weeks. As you can see, my apartment is still cluttered with so much baby stuff! I can't believe all the stuff I have and I still need to get more! For such a little person, she sure needs a lot of stuff!


I've been pretty miserable lately. Very uncomfortable, swollen feet, and ankles, very tired, heartburn, etc. I've gained quite a bit of weight in the past 2 weeks - which my doctor says is probably due to my body retaining water and swelling... My blood pressure has been high so they've been tracking me for preeclampsia. So far, its just a mild case - I only have a few of the symptoms, but since my blood pressure has been consistantly up, they've got a close watch on me.

I have to go to the doctor twice a week, and give blood and have other tests done. I'm also supposed to be taking it easy, I can still go to work for now, but if my blood pressure gets much higher, or I start getting any other symptoms, I might have to go on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy.


As of Monday, I'm not allowed to travel, so I'll be here in Tampa for Christmas. I'm pretty bummed about not being with my family, but It'll be fun to spend time here with Aaron and his family, as well as Julie and her family. I'll miss going to Texas, but I'd rather be here if something comes up. I'll see my famliy in February or March, so I'll make due until then.

We got more ultrasound pictures this week, but I don't have them in computerized form yet. As soon as I get them scanned, I'll post them for all to see. So far everything looks good with the baby so as long as she's healthy and happy, I'll put up with my pregnancy pains and try not to complain TOO much...
