happy fingers

so about 7 months into being pregnant my fingers started tingling on both hands, 24-7. it was really annoying at first but eventually i got pretty accustomed to the feeling, though my sense of touch was messed up. i thought i had developed carpal tunnel, since i was working at a computer all day long, but learned this can be a side effect of being pregnant, somehow. still don't understand why that would be. but after darren was born, sure enough the tingling didn't go away. two months after he was born when i still had tingling fingers, but had lost pretty much all of the baby weight, i figured it couldn't have been the pregnancy after all and was just good old carpal tunnel. today all of a sudden i realized that my fingers are normal again! so it must have been the pregnancy after all, right? but the important thing is that it's gone. hurrah!
