weird pains

uh oh, I just got my first strange pains, deep down inside! they seem to have subsided, but I was terrified! mostly because I have too much stuff left to do at work - I can't possibly leave now... I'm counting on 2 more weeks to finish everything up and make sure the place is in good order by then. in that time, I have to migrate an internet connection, hire 2 staff, complete an IT analysis for the Rwanda office, document about 100 procedures, and plow through a mountain of paperwork. not to mention the scads of "other" things.. I think I should just work from home until the contractions overtake me....

in the weird symptom category, my hand have been falling asleep at every opportunity.... I talk on the phone for 5 minutes and my hand is completely asleep. I write on the whiteboard, and my hand snoozes. I have to sleep like a mummy now (no pun intended) with my arms down by my sides, otherwise they get so numb it wakes me up. in between the sleepy hands, insane heartburn, peeing 20 times a night, huge constraining belly, raging hormones, summer heat, and buzzing mosquitoes, I'm lucky to get any sleep at all. And this is before the baby comes - thought I was supposed to rest up now while I had the chance!

And check out those swollen feet.....
