The 30th week of pregnancy

Okay, I've got a couple months left before this baby girl enters our crazy world. Hormones are finally starting to affect my temperment...well, more so than normal. I'm more susceptible to tearing up than raging out. In fact, I'm ashamed to admit it but last week, a handful of cake crumbs left on a conference room table pushed me over the edge before a 2 hour meeting. Yikes! What's the rest of my pregnancy going to be like?

I must force myself to limit my work hours to the prescribed 8 hours/day, 40 hours/week, lest my OB forces me to rest. The worst part is that not only am I swelling up, especially by midday, but my right hand is constantly swollen and numb and has been since month 6.5. Sleep is nearly nonexistent, mainly because I can only sleep about 3 hours at a time and then I'm awake for hours! Like now...
