Oh, I had the awful ankles and swollen feet, too! I wore jeans all the time (in JULY!) to cover them up because people would just get very concerned. Next time I will hope for a winter pregnancy and indulge in cute apple tights!

Be very gentle with yourself – you are on this hormonal rollercoaster and I have to tell you, it gets more intense as you get towards the end. It’s so normal to be worried about what’s going to happen and all the financial stuff – I promise you it will all work out, the people you love in your life will be there to help (just like you’ve helped them), and it would be a total blessing INDEED to have your sweet Colin there when baby girl comes.

Kankles! Oh yes! I looked like I had two footballs shoved over my feet. It was horrible. All I could wear was slip on sandles that were two sizes to big. HA!

Hormones! Well all I can say is I was there. Come to think of it, I never made my way back.

Just listen to those CD’s I sent. Even if you have not started. They will help now. YOu still have time. It is actually gat to do in the daytime as well as to help you self get to sleep. While I was on bedrest I would listen about twice during the day. It helped me get centered when my emotions started overwhelming me.

I’ve got your easy banana bread in the oven and it is starting to smell wonderful :-)
Here’s a little sanity trick of mine for what it’s worth – I stop to have a cup of tea pretty much everyday at the same time. Some days it’s only a 10 minute break (some days a magazine or book gets involved and it can stretch on for…) but when I’m feeling overwhelmed I know my 4:00pm cup is waiting for me. I love the ritual of it and the feeling of loving kindness towards myself.

Don’t you worry, it happens to all pregger ladies…made me feel nutty. Doesn’t go away for a while after the baby too so don’t be alarmed if you look at Colin and just bust out all weepy because of all the love and hormones. Making life ain’t easy.

Hey! You don’t have to be sorry. You’ll get it, you’ll find a flow, you’ll move through this. Just let it be, there’s no wrong way.

I wept during the movie “juno” when I was about 3 months pregnant. I had mentally prepared myself for the birth scene, but not at all for the part where she gives the baby up to the adoptive mom. Oh my god, tears are welling up now as I remember it ( my boy is 4 months old!). Everyone I was with thought I was crazy, but I just couldn’t stop crying…

Speaking of crying at commercials, I balled, like straight-out-balled at an Alzheimer’s commercial. It took me a while to gain composure, and I wasn’t even pregnant! I did get weepy quite a bit when pregnant, though, and I am still trying to feel like myself again- 6 months later…

Hey, don´t excuse yourself. I´m not pregnant and I can be very emotional… :)
