So I’ve hit 31 weeks preggers and have approximately 63 days to go till we have a new bundle of joy in the house. I just got over the stomach flu, which let me tell you was Oh not so much fun being 30 weeks pregnant. Thankfully my mother came over for a few days to help with pnut so that I could lay around the house and be sick. I feel 100% better than I did earlier this week and ready to take on all the housework and blogging that needs to take place. Which reminds me that I now have come to the realization that I have to do all of this in moderation now. The last couple of times I’ve picked the pnut up I’ve had a straining feeling in my side where I had my appendectomy at 20 weeks. It doesn’t hurt, per say but it is very uncomfortable and I feel it a couple hours after I’ve picked him up. So I’m trying not to pick up my son even though he really wants me to.

Secondly, I can’t spend alot of time on my feet. For one I feel like all of my body parts are going to fall out of my hoo-ha I have a ton of pressure down there. Also I found that the more walking and standing that I do during a day is the more braxton hicks contractions I end up having. Braxton Hicks contractions are “false labor”, basically contractions without the pain. I never had braxton hicks with pnut. Now that I’ve had them I can tell you they are not fun at all. I tried to do my grocery shopping last week before I got sick and had contractions the whole entire time. With each contraction I had to stop and wait till it went away. I’m sure it didn’t help that it took 2 hrs to do our grocery shopping for the MONTH, but at least it is out of the way. It does have me a little concerned though with all the contractions I’ve been having lately. I time them and they are far apart and not regular so I know that it isn’t labor, labor but if you factor in the groin pressure as well, it just makes me wonder if they put people on bed rest for having the same symptoms I am experiencing. I hope the contractions and pressure isn’t dialating me early or the baby comes prematurely because that wouldn’t be good at all.

But it really is hard to stay off my feet and not pick up my little one especially when there is so much housework to do and the little one is begging and crying at your leg to be held.
