Swell

At thirty two weeks, I see that my calves and my feet have grown to a size able enough to carry my weight... otherwise, matikwang ko LOL! Yes, I am now swelling... from my nose to my toes! There is this tightening around my lower abdomen and groin that feels like I'm wearing a very tight garter around where my belly sits. It is very uncomfortable and painful sometimes!

There is nothing much that I can do but sleep it off. I get pissed of complaining about all these... and I am tired of feeling useless and almost always out of breath and energy to do simple chores. Still eight weeks to go and I am so tempted to schedule an induced labor at thirty seven weeks, so this whole ordeal will be over. I am no longer scared nor terrified of the nightmares I've had about labor and delivery.

My belly feels so low already and my OB thinks so too, but that doesn't change my due date! My abdominal muscles are just loose, that's all there is. Although a part me of thinks this baby may be bigger than Akio... more than seven pounds perhaps? Who knows! Oh well...

This coming Saturday, another shower to go to... I am looking forward to it! I just hope it's going to get warmer because all my pants doesn't seem to fit anymore... (and I want to wear a dress) this belly has increased by two inches since last week and my belly button is winking to its closure.

Oh pregnancy, oh pregnancy! Oh baby, oh baby! The woes and joys, one can never have one without the other... like yin and the yang... the bitter and the sweet... who cares... I can't wait to have my baby SOOON!
