38 weeks means....

Waddling. I not only waddle, I also have trouble walking in a straight line which means I'm constantly bumping into Peter.

I can't see my feet anymore and have to get Pete to cut my toenails - surely that is a sign of true love hey!

I find it hard just getting up from the couch so Pete helps me up.

My feet (whilst not the horrendous cankles they were in Adelaide) are puffy and often sore.

I wake up every morning with extreme numbness/pins and needles in my hands and fingers. They are also puffing up big time. My face is a bit puffy but it could be worse.

Whilst Pete sits on the couch shivering, I demand the fan to be blaring right on top of me. He just has to suck it up and put warmer clothing on if he's cold.

I cry easily. Enough said!

I know where a convenient toilet is located within a 10 radius from our house.

I wake up countless times during the night, just to change position.

Climbing stairs is nearly impossible. Pete and I caught a train into Melbourne to test what it will be like for his journey to work. We had a walk around the Docklands area near the Ericsson office and then headed back towards to Mall. We climbed a flight of stairs and it stuffed me so much I had to go take a break in a food court and get Pete to run the errands we had to do in the city...I just couldn't walk any more.

I have to hug Pete sideways so my belly doesn't get in the way.

My weekly pregnancy shot no longer shows the "pregnancy glow." I simply look exhausted and 'over it' (at least, that's my opinion anyway)

Having said all this, I'm actually doing pretty well. I just really want bub to come as I'm so excited to meet him/her.
