    The good - I am incredibly thankful that as an elementary school teacher, I haven't been to work in a month and count myself lucky.

    The bad - Last night's contractions did such a number on me that I'm super sore today!  

    The ugly - My dinosaur feet that refuse to go down, no matter how much water I drink, no matter how much I walk around, or no matter how much I keep my feet up.  I just can't win with this swelling!  (At least the lady at the nail place yesterday didn't say much about them when I got a much-needed pedicure.)

    Good - my parents booked their plane tickets to come visit over Labor Day weekend
    Bad - actually have to work today so I had to put on pants
    Ugly - I can't see it, but I'm positive there is a pretty big stretch mark on my crotch. How the hell does that even happen? These stretch marks just keep spreading, ahhhh!

    The good: Still only the one stretch mark I got with DS 1 and less weight gain this time. The bad: False labor! I thought last night was it for sure, no such luck. The ugly: I now only have one pair of bottoms that fit. Luckily they are capris so it can be hot or cool outside, but here's hoping I don't pee myself and have to put them in the wash.

    The good: I get to sleep in this whole week instead of getting up at 5:20am since the state is doing bridge work between home and my office and my boss approved me working from home until Friday!

    The good: it was 55 this morning.

    The bad: my aunt and uncle are coming to town and their favorite pastime is bring up every bad decision of my life. Oh, and making me feel like a moron about anything and everything. "You finished your degree, why aren't you teaching?" " I don't have my teaching license yet." "I told you getting a degree from an 'online' school was a dumb idea, just a complete waste of money." No, I don't have my teaching license because who is going to hire anyone who is pregnant! I graduated when I was 20 weeks...

    The Ugly: the contractions that are still keeping me awake.

    @justine2502 have you checked your BP? Headaches and swelling are a sign of pre-eclampsia.

    The good: I'm due in 8 days and my Dr thinks I might go sooner.

    The bad: every time I roll over in bed and get a pain, I wake up thinking "holy shit, this is it. I'm in labour" then lay there for 10 minutes or so waiting too see if more pains hit. Then I go back to sleep....and repeat every 45 minutes or so.

    Oh and I had a major OJ craving this morning, and just projectile vomited all that OJ back up...

    The ugly: my cankles. They gross me out so bad. I worked with a friend of mine in the kitchen for 8 hours yesterday, and by last night it looked like I had a tumor on the side of my foot. My 18 yr old niece calls them Shrek Feet.
