This weekend we traveled the 2,892 miles back to PA for my baby shower weekend! It was a great time and my mom was very excited to celebrate Babelet with the baby shower. The travel was harder than I expected- my feet swelled pretty bad and I struggled to get comfortable but with 6+ hours of flying I should've known better. I did ask my midwife before I left about compression stockings and they said they weren't necessary- just drink a lot of water and try to get up and walk around... so I did that. I just flew 3 weeks ago and it was much easier so I'm glad we booked this for now- we were originally planning it for early February. I imagine it's just going to get worse.
My shower was really nice. My mom and sister worked hard and we had about 35 guests. Most of the people were family or friends of our family. I did have 3 friends that were able to make it. My friends here are throwing me a local shower at the end of February. It was very nice to see everyone and people were extremely generous and bought us amazing gifts. We are so lucky!
I had my midwife appointment today and she has assured me that everything is normal. Medically I'm normal, physically I'm getting quite uncomfortable with the stereotypical pregnancy symptoms- sciatica, heart burn, insomnia, back pain, exhaustion, braxton hicks- you name it! But, she reminded me- it's probably going to get worse before it gets better!
