The second trimester, final days: 26 weeks, 4 days

I have now reached a profound level of uncomfortableness. It's almost like a new level of consciousness.The combination of back and hip pain, my pubic bones spreading, carpal tunnel, decreased lung capacity, nasal congestion, indigestion and lack of sleep is impressive. I feel like soon the combination of all elements will create a new normal where I'm almost comfortable again.

In saying all this, the past three days I've actually felt better physically. Meaning I can walk a bit further than I've been able to before and my hips and pubic bones aren't aching constantly. I think this has to do with the fact that I definitely had a little growth spurt on Sunday night and the belly is bigger. I seem to get more and more uncomfortable and then every 2-3 weeks - "poof" I get bigger and I'm more comfortable for a while.

Ah well, que sera sera.

Oh yeah - and we got a new fridge:
