Mommy's Belly at 32 weeks!

Baby sister continues to grow in mommy's belly and therefore mommy's belly continues to grow too! Mommy's belly button is quickly turning from an "innie" into an "outie!" Mommy's felling great, other than 4 minor inconveniences that she often experiences. 1. Heartburn - mommy gets heartburn from EVERYTHING...even water! A piece of butter toast and water=heartburn, pretzels=heartburn, apples=heartburn, peanut butter and banana sandwich=heartburn....so just about anything and everything mommy consumes=heartburn. 2. Rib pain - baby sister likes to press up against and stretch out against mommy's ribs and every now and then she gives them a little kick just to reassure mommy that she's doing okay inside her belly! The rib pain occurs most often when mommy is sitting down trying to relax (which consists of approx a whole 1-1.5 hours in the evening). Maybe baby sister's living quarters are a little smaller when mommy sits as opposed to when she is standing and that is why mommy feels more pressure on her ribs at that time. 3. Swollen ankles and feet - this occurs only on the days mommy works due to the lack of circulation and blood flow to mommy's ankles and feet when she sits all day at work. Mommy goes into work looking like a normal human being and comes out of work looking like an elephant!!!!!!!!!!! 4. Numbness in the right leg - baby sister and mommy's uterus that baby sister is living in puts pressure against mommy's sciatic nerve which results in extreme numbness, a little tingling, and a little pain in mommy's right leg. This is felt when mommy walks and doesn't happen at all times but it does happen more often than not. Mommy often has to stop walking for a few seconds because her entire leg goes so numb that she literally can't pick it up off the ground so she has to stop for a second until she regains feeling in her leg.

But despite these minor inconveniences, mommy LOVES, LOVES, LOVES being pregnant and having baby sister growing inside of her!
