Baby Finch is big now. Last week at our appointment he was 4.5 pounds, and from all of the random spurts of hunger I have been having lately, I am sure he is bigger now. I can feel it, my legs can feel it, and my belly is definitely making a new debut it hadn't done before.
33 weeks!
The newest pregnancy symptoms apart from heartburn and fatigue are: Swollen feet! After driving down to Provo from Rexburg last Friday, my feet have been swelling a lot and I have had to repeatedly elevate my feet with a little improvement but not much. I feel like I am constantly in the "I have walked around Disneyland all day and my feet are dead" feeling, except I haven't been to Disneyland in about 4 years and can't boast the joyful part of that sentence lol. Also, I can't spell to save my life, and my memory is very bad these days. The fog of pregnancy or "Momnesia" as I have heard lately is real. Husbands, it's not an excuse it is fo' real the real thing.
The funniest experience I have had thus far in my pregnancy happened last week when I got so excited after the ultrasound we had that I didn't give a proper urine sample and peed into the toilet completely. Not wanting to stay around forever, I just scooped some up from the toilet (sorry, MA friends, I know it was wrong, but it was worth it) and I probably had the most diluted urine I have ever had. I am sure the girls in the lab knew it wasn't the real deal. Pretty funny though.
I am currently in Reno getting ready for my baby shower, and am loving being with my family. Ben and I spent the weekend last week with his parents and grandma which was so wonderful, and then I flew out of the airport to Reno. Traveling by plane was interesting as a prego lady, but luckily I am still in the time frame (barely) for plane travel being safe and I am glad I don't do it often because I was so tired.
Also, Ben and I found our new place that we can move in to in April, and we are hopeful to find someone to move into our current place soon. Life is moving really fast, but we have always had the Lord on our side and feel Him with us now. We are very blessed, and so grateful for His goodness to us.
Besides that, life is just going as it needs to. Ben and I miss each other like crazy, and my cat reacts very acutely when she hears my voice on the phone or skype, and we have a few more days of separation while I am away, but I am surrounded by family and doing well. Week 34 will be very exciting and I will post a lot of pictures next time for the shower.
Hope you are all doing well!
Love,
Liz, Ben, Finch, and Zola
