Not much new to report. My carpal tunnel is out of control bad though. It's just getting worse and worse. I have my first Occupational Therapy appt today. Even though I have a different HMO now, I got approval to see my same OT as last time, so hopefully that will be good in that she will remember I dealt with this crap before. This time it's much worse though, and much sooner in the pregnancy. It's keeping me up at night with shooting pains in my arm/hand/wrist, despite wearing my trusty wrist braces to bed. In the morning when I get up, my right hand and fingers are so numb and achy I can hardly function to get myself ready. It's starting to become a real drag, and I fear there is not much that can be done. And last time it stuck around post-partum as long as it was here anti-partum. So that is super. As I sit here at my computer today, I can confirm that typing and using my mouse most definitely are not helping the situation. There is little I can do about that though. Seems a bit ironic that carpal tunnel during pregnancy is caused by all the extra fluid, yet my Baby A is low on fluid. Can't it just shift to her? My wrists sure as shit don't need it!!
So I am exhausted and feel somewhat crippled. I have also gained 30 lbs. EEEEK. That is how my body does pregnancy though. This mama packs it on! I can officially say I am ready for this to be over, and I have a long way to go!

I hear you. I feel like I am starting to get kind of depressed over all the physical stuff I've been dealing with already this pregnancy. I just want to cry. And I want it to be over, but it's nowhere near over. It really is depressing.
