Always, Alli

This isn't a real self-portrait since you can clearly see both my hands are preoccupied with holding my niece, Genevieve. I haven't seen her since Christmas and she is getting SO! BIG! I was able to get her in my lap for the length of this bottle and that was it. She was off and crawling, sometimes timidly stepping, getting into toys and playing with her cousins.

Speaking of full hands... if you look closely at the picture, you will see a wrist brace on the table, near us. It is my wrist brace, something I had to dig out this morning because my arm was throbbing and I knew what the diagnosis was: pregnancy induced carpal tunnel syndrome.

I got carpal tunnel when I was pregnant with Fuller. And now, it is back in my right wrist. I’m a bit upset because when I got it with Fuller I was seven months pregnant. Being twelve weeks pregnant and dealing with this now makes me a bit of an unhappy camper.

Wanna see some other self portriats (probably by people who actually took their own picture)? Head over to Cass’s Midlife Musings to check them out. And hey! Maybe participate next week. I might show you my wrist in a brace.
