1 - Varicose Veins - so much worse and they keep rising up my legs. I don't think they will be disappearing this time (thanks mom).
2 - Weight - I have one more month and I have gained 40 pounds. 40 POUNDS!!! I have rolls of fat that I never knew could grow on those parts of my body. Nothing fits me - not even maternity clothes anymore. Do you know how hard it is to lose all of that weight?! I can't even fit boots over my calves. Because of nursing, there's no way I can lose it as quick as I would like.
3 - Emotions - Angry most of the time, crying the rest of it.
5 - Contractions - I never had Braxton Hicks or contractions with my other boys until a week before I was due and they never really hurt. This time around, I feel like I am going into full on labor every night around 10. This has been going on for a month and it is only getting worse.
4 - Sleep. Between Bridger, hip pain, baby kicking, and Charley horses, there is no sleep.
5 - I guess I've forgotten, but I get medical bills every other month for one shot or another. Having a baby is expensive, stressful, completely uncomfortable, and downright miserable. The one and only positive about this whole experience is the replacement of a baby instead of a period. However, when the baby does come, you bleed more in two weeks than you ever did in 9 months.
I know I will think it was all worth it when Jack comes, but for now, my attitude about pregnancy is very apparent.
