View LYNNABEL's food & exercise for this day
Every inch of my body itches. I am not exaggerating. My feet itch the BOTTOM of my feet itch. Its ridiculous how do you scratch the bottom of your feet?
And Im oh-so-glad they came up with the diagnosis and medication for restless leg syndrome because thats what I have.
My skin pigmentation is all crazy the scars from my breast reduction are VIVID and usually they are pink obvious but not screaming. My belly button which is totally stretch out flat (yes, its as disturbing to look at as it sounds) is dark-colored now. Ive got weird splotches on my face.
Oh, and the sausage fingers! And my cankles are a odd sort of puffy texture. Eww.
Bottom line - Im friggin GORGEOUS.
And cheerful. 2.26 weeks until Turtles birth. 8 days until my maternity leave. But whos counting?
She has dropped, so even though Im a bit more comfortable (which Im thankful for), Im still getting pretty bad heartburn. And (TMI) it feels like Turtle is living in my bottom. Technically its just that her head is probably nestling into the birth canal, but it FEELS like she is IN my bottom. Its a very odd sensation.
I did get the best compliment yesterday, though, from Steve. He said, At Wills ECFE class, none of the ladies can believe how amazing you are doing by working full time and working up until right before Turtles born. I bragged that you did that with Will also. Im so impressed with you.
Music. To. My. Ears (and self esteem).

Aww, that Steve. You should keep him.
:love: ... Sorry you're so itchy. I shouldn't hit itchy until Valentine's Day. I'm at the oil-slick portion of my pregnancy. I cannot keep my face or hair clean. ... Put your feet up under your desk to soothe the "cankles" and keep on counting those days. I'm so excited that Turtle's time has nearly arrived.
