Breathless, Lower Pain and Backache... What a combination!

Since I got on my 32 week I started feeling all those simptons above. It is incredible to see how much our body change. Being 5.2 and all the weight also including my two best friends * Michelle and Sonia* - some of you know what I am talking about, it is really difficult to have balance, besides the walking that totally changed as well as the pain that comes with when you are not using sneakers or flip-flops. It is time for me to retire those stilettos that i have for now. I have realized that on my 36 week of pregnancy would be Mission Impossible to have those anyway, I though I was going to get all way through but there is no way as at the end of the day I pay the price.
Why all of these have to come with Breathless days, Lower Sharp pain and Backaches? Is that a way of our bodies talking to us and saying: Get ready lady, it is getting close now...
Do we all go through this? I believe it is all part of the package.
Looking at the bright site, at the end will be all worth it!

I don't know how to start this post. The only thing I know is that I have an amazing and wonderful group of friends that are thoughtful, caring, loving and that I love very much.
The Cris's Angels group which they called "OBS" for those that are not familiar like me, means:
"Operation Baby Shower" and the suspects are:
Regina, Rosaicela, Danielle, Lyann, Bella and Betty!

Baby Kicks

Here we are again... now on my 32 week and not even believing that I am in my third trimester now. Belly growing by the minute.. Still not quite ready to give up on the stilettos yet, but now is much more difficult as gravity makes challenging. Now I am curious to see how Kangaroos with all that weight in front can jump the way they jump.. I have been walking my dear dog and after 30 minutes I don't think I am walking much more like whaling.
But not matter what, the most amazing thing is when the baby kicks, sometimes soft, sometimes extremely strong, sometimes in all sides and I wonder... legs, arms, butts all in movement? It feels like that... but it is just the most amazing feeling.. not to say that if kicks too much, we say.. c'mon not so much and if the baby does not kick at all in my case I freak out! So no matter what the whole guilty thing I think starts in the first day when you discovered you are pregnant and then nothing will be the same again.
The kicks for me is a way of communicating and it does not matter if hurts, if it is unconfortable or if people will start starring at your belly and if others will notice your belly going back and forth like a dance, no matter what I still love them and I can't not see pregnancy without it.
Did you feel the same? Is that true citric fruits and juices make kicks worse?
What are your thoughts?

Career and Pregnancy

It almost February!
And the belly is growing by the minute now.
It is interesting as discussing with other friends that had to work during pregnancy, I thought that somehow would slow me down a bit! What is incredible is the opposite that since pregnant I got more energy than SDG&E. What is that all about? It is kind of trick when you have to juggle career and being an new expectant mom and had to deal with this overall bad economy and knowing that your baby will be born in the middle of a recession! I think this is might have been of motivates me to get going...
Now, I understand when my friends were pregnant and used to say that when pregnant that they would be hopeful for something. Now I totally understand why.
The funny thing is that those cute little working clothes don't fit you anymore even in a dream and that now instead of high end stilettos, we may find some contemporary sneakers attractive to work. Am I in New York? Oh, yes, the Havaianas since I am in San Diego (flip-flops from Brazil) I may need a couple of those please!
No matter where you are, do and want to be, just keep on going...
