An update :)

It feels like forever since I last blogged!

Things are going well, and by that I mean we are getting to the end finally! lol

Things haven't been easy, it's been a pretty rough pregnancy and I am in constant pain everyday :(

I used to think Jakson's pregnancy was tough, but it was easy compared to this one.

I'm still having morning sickness daily, back and sciatic pain, lots of needles everyday and than there is the carpal tunnel!

I never knew you could get carpal tunnel in pregnancy, but you can and it's nasty!
I have to wear a wrist brace on my right hand 27/7 and one on my left hand at night. Every night when I go to bed with them on, it feels like I have boxing gloves on. Both the splints have metal rod in them to help my wrist stay in the best position and relieve the pain and pressure on the nerve while I sleep.
Without these splints I don't know how I would cope, I wouldn't be able to do anything at all.
Thank goodness for some lovely girls who pointed out that the pain I was having sounded like carpal tunnel, otherwise I think I would have just kept putting up with it and not asked.

Now that we are getting on in the pregnancy (I'm 34 weeks now) I have weekly appointments at the hospital, but this can mean I am there 2 or 3 times a week sometimes with all the doctors/clinics I need to see!
It is very exhausting but you just have to get on with it.



I also have a bit of a confession.....I am 34 weeks pregnant and have a very active bubba but I am yet to really believe I am pregnant. Even hearing her heartbeat every week and seeing her on the scan every few weeks, I still struggle to put what I see and feel into context of that being a child, my child.
Sounds weird, doesn't it?

It's just so hard for me to comprehend that what I am feeling and seeing is actually a baby, a human being that is inside me!
It's such a surreal concept for me and I don't think it will sink in until I am actually holding her ♥

We have less than 6 weeks until her due date and still have so much to do.
It weird how 6 weeks can feel so short and so long at the same time.
