Get a Grip

Get a Grip.  This is something I can't do lately.  With Isaac, I never got numb hands or arms.  With this baby, I started to feel tingling and numbness in my hands and wrists occasionally starting about 3 weeks ago.  Just over the past 3 or 4 days, though, it has become ridiculous.  My hands are tingling and numb almost all night long, and during the day, my right hand/wrist/fore arm stays tingling and numb all day.  I still have enough strength/feeling in them to be able to write and do things with them, but it's still quite uncomfortable/annoying.  It's that same feeling you get when you sleep on your hand or arm and after you shake it out, it goes away.  Only I can't get it to go away!!  Argh!  I saw my midwife yesterday and although I had researched it myself, it was still reassuring to hear that it's totally normal and should go away almost immediately after I deliver (PHEW!)  It is also directly correlated to the amount of swelling I have been having in my feet.  Also something I experienced very little of with Isaac.  I must say I am a little bummed because I ordered this awesome pair of Sensi flip flops (they are made of waterproof material and drain when wet, are super comfy, etc.  I got them specifically to wear at the hospital and now my stupid feet are too swollen to even get them on.  BOO! 
What else...everything else is pretty standard.  I only wake up like once a night to pee like I did with pregnancy number 1 (how awesome is that?  I drink tons of water, I really do, I just have a bladder like a camel I guess.)  I've hit a major nesting frenzy, but I am not sure if it's instinctual, or more out of necessity.  I hate bending over.
That was lots of complaining, but overall I am doing quite well for being at the end.  While I would be fine with him coming any time (because I am super excited to hold him/meet him/bond with him) I am not dying or willing him to come right away.  I doubt he'll be more than a week late, and if anything, I am getting a feeling that he'll be more of an on time kid than Isaac was :-)  Who knows?  I'm 9 days away from the 40 week mark.
Any of you ever have the numb stuff?
And finally, here is a preggo comparison picture that my friend Jessi made and sent me from weeks 28 and 37.  I need to make sure I take one more photo at the veeeeeery end.
