Weekly Wisdom: "Keep your eye on the prize."

For 32 weeks pregnant, I'm feeling great. Last week I dealt with some SERIOUS foot/ankle swelling. I was having VERY, VERY busy days back-to-back with very little time to rest, lie down, raise feet, etc. It made me super nervous, but since this past Sunday, everything has been normal.

Braxton-Hicks contractions have officially set in over the last week or two. Everything will be fine & dandy then suddenly in the middle of Walmart, YIKES! Squinch my eyes for a second, hold my breath & then it passes. Apparently these are 'warm up' contractions for the real thing. 32-week check-up is tomorrow so we'll see what the doctor says about everything. Otherwise, in my book, everything is right on track!
