Ugh! I'm so frustrated right now. I'm now 36 weeks pregnant and ready to evict this kid. Don't get me wrong, I love my baby boy more than life but I'm ready to see him, get my body back get him on a schedule, and get back to regular life. Therefore, I'm going to run down my list of complaints and I want you guys to feel sorry for me, ok? Ok great!
1. My feet pretty much stay swollen. Sometimes I can even be sitting down resting and they'll swell to the size of tree trunks for no reason at all. Because of this I'm forced to plan my outfits around 3 pairs of flats. For a person who loves clothing, this is super annoying. I can't tell you how much it pains me not to be able to wear my beloved heels. I'll post pics of the infamous 3 later on.
2. I'm starting to have more frequent heartburn/acid reflux. This means that I eat Tums like they're going out of style. I even have to keep some in my nightstand drawer in case I get hit with it in the middle of the night.
3. Constant peeing. Peeing is a big part of my life these days. I pee morning, noon and night. I also pee in the wee hours of the morning which really sucks. I would even debate with myself about whether I should hold it till the morning in an effort to try and get more sleep and save myself the effort of getting out of bed or just get it over with. Then I tried coming up with the strategy of restricting my intake of liquids in the evenings and peeing before I go to bed. But do you think that worked? Nope, it didn't. I always have an unlimited supply of urine no matter what I do. Oh and another thing, because of the weight my son is putting on my bladder I can be sitting down and not have to pee at all but as soon as I get up I have an amazing urge to head to the little girls room. Fun, huh? I also forgot to mention that Kaleb likes to move around alot and that his constant movement coupled with my chronically full bladder is not a good combo.
4. The last and most horrible of all my annoyances due to pregnancy is mobility. Its hard to get up, its hard to turn over, its even hard to put my pants and shoes on. Do you want to know why mobility is such a problem for me? You sure you wanna know? Ok, its because my girly parts hurt. I guess there's so much pressure down there that its sore. Plus the pressure or muscles that I have to use in order to do simple things like put on my pants or get up makes it worse. Oh and the best part is that when I told my doctor about it he told me that its completely normal and that there wasn't anything I could do about it. Oh yeah, he also said that it would probably only get worse as I get farther along. Wonderful!
Ok those are the top 4 things I hate about my pregnancy. So if you haven't started feeling sorry for me yet now would be a good time. Thanks!
XOXO,
TNB
