Another Check Up... and No pictures

Hello All,

Okay so I failed to get some pictures... but now I moved to Omaha so I have to figure this computer out. Story of my life.
As some of you know I have finally moved to Omaha. That means that after 9 months of being away from Jeremy except on most weekends I get to be with him every night and morning. Yeah, I am pretty happy. We still haven't sold our home in Hebron so after the baby comes we will go back to Hebron for awhile and then after that not real sure. One day at at time.
I had an appointment on Monday. It went well. My hands have really been falling asleep lately so I asked about that and lucky me it is carpal tunnel. GREAT! So, I have options... I could wear yet another brace on my hands and totally brace my whole body up(I have a back brace to help with back pain that I thank God every day for). I decided I have another month I can live with it. I just have to take more breaks for the computer than I would like but otherwise my hands are completely numb... which after just typing this much they are pretty much all asleep. It's real fun! My doctor wasn't too worried about it. She said there are many that get it during pregnancy and then it goes away aftwerwards... so I pray that happens to me and I don't have to have surgery or anything after the baby. :) I'm not dilated yet so my doctor told me to make sure I walk a lot.... and I would see her again this coming Monday.
About the lots of walks: Funny story. Okay, so I have been trying to follow instuctions and doing what my doctor tells me and making sure I go on walks... which I have tried to do throughout my whole pregnancy. Well since moving to Omaha I have just walked around the neighborhood.... a few times. Then yesterday Craig (whom we are now living with) asked me if I wanted to go and walk around Zorinsky Lake. I have always wanted to so I said what the heck.... it's walking and I need to walk. So, we decided to go this one way... sorry it is hard to discribe when you haven't seen it. At any rate, to go around the lake was 4 1/2 miles around if we went around the long way or the shorter way was 2 1/2 or something. Craig thought this way was fine (okay so I agreed) and the shortest way. Well we of course went the long way and going around the lake wasn't just the shortest way around. Needless to say, it took us 1 1/2 hours to get around it and last night and this morning and still yet this afternoon it is still hard for me to get out of my chair. My feet have started to swell and my hands are swelling more too. It's great. It was however a wonderful walk and it was absolutely beautiful out so it was well worth it but I think I am paying for it today. Today I think I will just take a quick 15-20 minute walk around the neighborhood. :)
I hate to end this here but my hands are officially totally asleep!
Have a good evening everyone!
Andrea

I can't believe you made it that long without peeing your pants! I'm impressed. :)

Love You~
