1)my feet are SO swollen I think half of my pregnancy weight is stuck in my feet. They look like elephant feet and my ankles have officially disappeared.
2)my fingers have also swollen to the point that I can no longer wear my wedding ring (which gets curious stares from bystanders) so I have resorted to wearing them around my neck to avoid such looks.
3)HEARTBURN-I have NEVER had heartburn before but I have it constantly now and let me just say it SUCKS!
4)Urinary frequency, for those of you who know me really well, you know that I go to the bathroom more then anyone else I know! so imagine how much worse it is with a 36 week old fetus sitting on your bladder!
5)lack of sleep, let me just say plain as day....I need my sleep, however, my future child does not seem to grasp this concept and continually interrupts my sleep (I guess she is trying to prepare me for my very near future)
6)increased time to take a shower d/t the obvious reason that I can no longer easily reach my toes!
7)shortness of breath and difficulty breathing...
8)lower back pain, I want nothing more then to crack my lower back but it just doesn't seem possible at this point in the ball game
I could continue but I don't want to discourage those of you who are contemplating having a child. But in the end it will all be worth it when I get to hold my precious little baby in my arms! As I excitedly await her arrival, I will reminisce about the first time I saw my little jellybean:
