I know I've been really lucky so far, but last night I got up like 6-7 times to use the bathroom. I have 5 weeks left as of today. I am sooooo exhausted at work today. Also, the numbness in my hands/fingers is just getting worse. I told them at my last doctors appt., and they said it was normal. But, it's really bad now. Just typing this made my hands numb! ANNOYING!!! Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yup. I had carpal tunnel in both hands by 28 weeks. It was much worse in right hand! Very annoying and painful. There were days when I almost cried brushing my hair! I wore a wrist splint on my right hand and it helped alot. (It was only about $15).
Thankfully, it magically disappeared within a day of giving birth!
Hang in there!!

I was wondering how you were feeling! I had a friend who had the same thing you are experiencing...it is pretty normal.
Have your BH contractions gotten better?

I still have the Braxton Hicks contractions, but not as frequently. But when I do get them, they are a lot more uncomfortable. Next week's appt which will be 36 weeks, I get the Group B Stress test, and another ultrasound to see how big the baby has gotten since 32 weeks. He was 5lbs., 12oz then... I could only imagine how big he is now? I'm think close to 7 lbs?

Pregnancy can make you get carpel tunnel in your wrists/hands. If you wear a wrist brace to bed and while working it will help A LOT. Your doctor can give you an Rx for them- as many insurance companies will cover the braces and you will feel a lot better after wearing them for a bit.
The last few weeks are tough because you are so sick of it all by then but don't worry the baby will be here soon enough.
