I don't usually like to complain about pregnancy because I am truly thrilled to be pregnant and can't wait to meet my LO, and I know all the aches and pains are just part of the experience.
But....I think I've passed the threshold into just feeling huge and uncomfortable and feel like I need to vent.
I hardly have any clothes that fit me anymore. Up until a couple of weeks ago I had several pre-pregnancy tops & dresses that I could still wear, but not anymore. So I am down to my maternity clothes, and even some of those are starting to not quite cover my growing bump. But I hate to buy more at this point - I only have 8 weeks left.
Same goes for shoes. A few weeks ago I bought a couple of pairs of flats in a size up to accomodate my swollen feet. Now even these bigger shoes are starting to pinch and my swollen feet and ankles are just killing me by the end of a work day. But I hate to buy more shoes since I only have 5 more weeks of work - and I just live in flip flops when not at work. I also had to stop wearing my engagement ring and my watch because they were getting too tight. Ugh. (but my blood pressure is fine, so not a sign of preeclempsia).
And while I'm at it...I am so tired of waking up every hour or two to use the bathroom. Especially as it is getting harder and harder to hoist myself out of bed.
It is just hard to believe I still have 8 weeks of growing to do and I am already so uncomfortable!
Okay, rant over. Sorry to be such a complainer today!
