Doctor

We had a doctor's appointment yesterday. He says all the swelling is just fine unless my blood pressure goes up...not likely, it's always really low. The crappy news was that my hands falling asleep is likely due to pregnancy induced carpel tunnel. He said it will likely get much worse before I'm done...woohoo! Oh well. He also let us know that if at any point in the rest of my pregnancy we go into labor they won't stop it. That sounds just fine to me...although I'd really prefer to get past 36 weeks.

I will be going out on Maternity leave starting the first week of June. Wow, that's weird...that's only 4 weeks away. I'm not sure what I will do with myself though. I have become so used to working that on weeks when I am home for a few days in a row I run out of things to get done. I'm sure I'll have plenty once Keija's here but in the mean time I think it's going to be an adjustment for me. Kailye usually loves the first day or two and then gets very anxious to go play with someone other than mom. She loves being with all her family and friends.

I am glad we are almost done and at the same time feel no where near ready for another little one at our house. I guess we'll see how it goes.

  1. Wow 4 weeks untill maternity leave, that is so soon.

    Bummer about the hands. That truly is strange. I think between you and Bobbie any thing that can go wrong with pregnancy has gone wrong with you two. I sure hope things get a little better for you.

  3. I TOTALLY had the "pregnancy induced" carpal tunnel. My hands would go numb at night when I'd sleep. I'd wake up with them tingly. Sitting at the computer made it worse. I have always had a little bit of it, but it totally got worse during pregnancy and then went back to "normal" after!

  5. P.S.

    I had the carpal tunnel when I was pregnant with Liyah & unfortunately from my experience, it got A LOT worse.
    If you try to elevate your hands so that they are above your heart, it helps a tiny bit but who has times to rest their hands?!!! :)
