*tear tear

I just wrote a novel about pregnancy and my boomer and it got deleted :(
I'm 36 weeks tomorrow. My little boomer is getting huge. He startles me at least twice a day with his large movements. He's getting crammed in there, and so are all of my other major organs. I can't breathe very well and these aches and pains are getting more pronounced. Luckily my last day of student teaching is the day after we get back from Thanksgiving Break. I can do this.

Two negative things that have really picked up: 1) swelling---my hands and feet and 2) my bladder constantly being pushed on. I am very very very blessed though that I still sleep very well every night and that I only have to get up once or twice in the night to go to the restroom. Hallelujah! If I wasn't getting any sleep and had to teach for 5 hours every day I would be a basket case all the time. Yesterday I had to take off my shoes while I was teaching and talk with my hands up so the blood could circulate a little better. My students love it. I'm sure going to miss them!!!! They make my days go by so much faster and I love most of them to pieces.

Um. About that sleep comment. Thursday night was TERRIBLE! I felt like I didn't sleep a wink. Here's my belly progress:

 Let's take a look at where I was just a few months back:

 

I'm 36 weeks...almost there! More on pregnancy later--the POSITIVE things. I know you're on the edge of your seat.
