29 weeks pregnant!

Well not much to report on the pregnancy front. I don’t have an antenatal appointment until 30 weeks, so it’s kind of a nothing week really.

For the record, here are some of the things I have noticed over the previous week:

• My belly just keeps on growing and growing. Everyday I wake up and it seems a little bigger, which is scaring the bejesus out of me! I was a lot smaller at this stage when I was pregnant with Byron and he was still 7lb 10oz! I guess this gives a lot of credence to the notion that you get bigger second time around. However, I have to say the rate of growth seems to be much different this time around. With Byron it was very slow up until the last 5 weeks, when my tummy just kept expanding (I always looked 'less' far along then I really was). I am hoping things will slow down a little...I guess I will be able to make further comment when I get towards the end of this pregnancy.
• I think I might need a little bit of Metamucil. Again, something I never needed when pregnant with Byron.
• My feet are fatter (i.e. there is noticeable fluid)! At stages they are a little swollen. Not a lot, but noticeable enough. There is also some fluid present on my lower legs as well. At this stage, my hands seem to be ok. I don't recall having much fluid (if any) with Byron until the very end (again another differing factor!).
• The waddle walk is making more regular appearances. As one would expect, this goes hand in hand with size (and maybe has something to do with the slight problem I have with my Pubis Symphysis injury - arising from a slip when pregnant with Byron)!

I guess that’s all there is to report at the moment. Til next week...
