26 weeks

My legs have been really throbbing and bothering me, so I finally decided to get myself a compression pantyhose. Boy, those things sure look sexy! (not) We’ll see if they’re actually helpful.

Fatima has been bothering me too. It gets really painful especially when I get out of bed and start walking. It sort of goes numb when I lay on me left side, and when I get up and blood returns, I really feel it. I think that’s the reason why I’ve been sleeping on my back more often lately. I try to stay on my left side, but inevitably I wake up on my back more often than not. Maybe I’ll get me a better pillow for between my knees, it might help.

The exhaustion that I had on the first trimester is making a comeback. I can’t really say I had a lot of energy in between those stages, more like barely enough that I could make it through the day, but now it’s winding down again. I think it’s a little too early for that, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

At the same time, we’re going to bed later, so I sleep a little less at night. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Other than that, still growing, Bear is still kicking up a storm, and things are well.
