Swollen : /

My feet have now tripled in size. This is ridiculous and I have never been so swollen in my entire life. The last few weeks of pregnancy have been harder than all the other eight and a half months put together. I am so glad I only have one week left of work and next week I have six hour shifts mon-fri, so it shouldn’t be too bad. If I can just get through one more week.

Sleep

I have gotten to the point where sleep is almost unbearable because of the pelvic pressure. My doctor said Henry’s little head is about as far down as possible at this point and it’s just a waiting game at this point but seriously, I’m still at work for another two weeks and I need at least a little bit of sleep for my 4am wake up time for work. Also, my manager is still trying to schedule me for eight and a half hour shifts, which I have told her are not possible, given that my feet blow up swollen after most six hour shifts. I just hope I can find a sleeping position that allows me a couple hours of sleep cause I want to save my energy for bringing him into this world and taking care of him those first few weeks, not being tired at work.
