Yes the belly is growing big!! I've slowed down quite a bit and feeling very pregnant lately. Someone in the grocery store asked if I were having a Christmas baby, though I know I have a big belly, I don't think I look ready to pop. I still have to the end of March!! This baby is VERY active, and it feels like this babe is trying to dig out of my belly button at times. I'm pretty sure he or she is not head down yet, just laying happily sideways and occasionally stretching out arms and legs with full force.
Other than the busy holiday week of gatherings and late nights to be exhausted from, I'm still feeling pretty good. My massage work though has become more challenging and exhausting. Only a few more weeks that I have 5 clients a day on my schedule and will cut back some more. It's also more difficult to lean over my massage table with out bumping into them. I will say for certain that I am looking forward to being done with that! February 11th can't come soon enough! The heart burn is mild and tolerable, and my low back pain comes and goes. My lovely varicose veins show no sign of disappearing anytime soon, but don't cause "pain" per se. We are getting very excited to meet this little one. I think my nesting began very early in this pregnancy. My house has never been so organized! You should see my spice cabinet! The co-sleeper has been set up for a month and the changing table is filled with nice clean diapers and accessories. I'm excited to be using them again soon. (Cloth diapers for those wondering) It's a weird passion of mine!
Now that the holidays are past, I'm sure the next couple months will fly by!
