My Latest pregnancy symptoms

Only 3 weeks to go and boy am I feeling it. My appetite has increased ten-fold, I am starving hungry every 2 hours, I sometimes even wake in the night feeling hungry, a glass of juice usually suffices, my visits to the toilet have also doubled, thankfully not so much during the night with me waking only once or twice to pee. I feel like I have a lot of energy but when I am out and about I do get tired and even grocery shopping takes it out of me. Putting on my shoes is hard work as is anything else that involves bending down.
On a super good note, I finally submitted my last piece of coursework on Friday for my nutritional therapy course. I just have to wait for the feedback and all being well the certificate. Phew, there were times when I thought it was never going to end, my personal deadline was set for before the baby was born so with that now achieved I can tick that off my 2008 to do list, once I have had the baby that will be the last thing from this years list of things to do and achieve. Admittedly this years list was all about personal development. I’ve already started thinking about 2009 and among being the best mother I can be almost everything else I want to achieve is more career and business based.
I am now counting down the days, I would like my body back to myself and to meet my baby at last. I have a feeling this last step is going to be the hardest. I had what I think was my last set up blood tests last week and the results came back great, my iron levels have risen and are pretty much back to normal which is great news.
In 2 weeks time my mum will be here which will be nice and means I can then really sit back and relax and she can take care of the household chores, so I am really looking forward to that. Then it will be Xmas and hopefully we will have the best Xmas gift anyone could ask for.
