38 weeks!

Well, now I am 38 weeks pregnant and have less than a week to go until baby is here! Here is a belly pic that I took on Monday:
I am really feeling SO uncomfortable. Maybe I just don't remember, but I feel like it was not this bad when I was pregnant with Zoey. Even though I got really swollen when I was pg with her, I don't remember being so sore. My whole body is just achy all over. My legs and knees and thighs are so sore, and it is really hard for me to do the simplest things like roll over in bed, put on my shoes, get up from sitting on the floor, etc. I feel ridiculous. It's so strange to feel so awkward in your own body. I am definitely looking forward to getting my body back and I just hope that I will be able to lose the baby weight easily again this time around.
I feel like the movement is different with this baby too. When I felt the kicks with Zoey, it was more subtle, and she was always getting the hiccups. This time around the baby is always really active in the evening, and it is always really strong movement. Not just kicks, but I feel like the baby is rolling around and doing flips in there and I can almost always see and feel the movement on the outside of my belly. It's crazy. Sometimes it is even to the point where the movements are so strong that they are uncomfortable. I don't ever remember it getting to that point with Zoey. But even when it gets uncomfortable, I still love feeling this little one moving around. It is definitely my favorite part of being pregnant, and I know that I will miss it once the baby is born.
