QOTD:
Like poop on a stick. My feet are numb, I am very swollen, tired, had a headache for 3 days now, and I cannot get comfortable.
PCOS, Ectopic & M/C of twins October 2010, Currently TTC #2
I feel pretty good.. just overly tired. I get aggravated SUPER easily because I'm too tired to do the things I want to do. I need to get Layla's room ready for her big girl bed.. and I just feel like I'm too tired to do it. (She is currently in a 'big girl bed' but it's her crib that converts).?
?I need to do so much.. and I thought I had so much time to do it.. but I now realize I should've done it when I had the energy.?
Little by little.. that's what I keep telling myself.
And I do feel huge. I had an u/s yesterday and they said Lexi looks good and that she's head down (yay!), but that she already weighs 4 lbs! That's new to me, b/c Layla was only 5 -11 when she was born!
?
Feeling pretty good today! I am still getting up every hour to pee but when I do sleep I sleep good. We finally got the furniture for the nursery this past weekend so I feel as if things are starting to come together. I have 2 more showers maybe 3. The place I worked 4 years ago when I got married always said they would do a baby shower for me and were going to surprise me this weekend but one of the girls let it slip out the other day! I'm very excited. My Aunt is giving me a shower for all my family, both sides, I have one coming from work just not sure when! I have such awesome friends.
I hope all other November Ninjas are doing well!
QOTD:
Super tired . Cant sleep at night baby has a party at night time.
Not too bad. Of course my back hurts and the baby is so low it feels like she's going to just fall out any second, but it's not so bad. I've had many days where I felt much worse and could barely get myself out of bed to shower.
Mostly right now I'm just feeling a little bit stressed/overwhelmed that she's going to be here so soon. I don't feel like I've had enough time to get ready. I feel like I'm in way over my head and have no idea what to expect. Though, I'm still anxious to meet her at the same time.
Physically: I'm doing ok. I get really sore sometimes (especially my hips and right knee. Yesterday my tailbone hurt. Sometimes my back or feet.) and am starting to get heartburn more and more.
I had two extra medical problems this week, including a cold and a mysterious abscess on my tailbone (aka butt) that was extremely painful so it had to be drained (which was also extremely painful). Thankfully both are better now but cost me lots of money.
Emotionally: Having a very rough morning. Just found out our bank account is overdrawn and we're being charged a $250 overdraft fee (which I'm hoping to somehow get waived?? Maybe?). I have a check to deposit that will cover everything but I just feel like crying.

I am just very tired all the time. EVERYONE tells me I look exhausted! If I keep moving at work, it usually keeps me from wanting to doze off, limits the sore pelvic region, and lets my coworkers know I am not done yet! The most annoying thing at work is some of the guys asking me if I'm asleep when they come into the area I work in. Sure, I sit down frequently when not on the move, but I don't sleep at work.
I could also do without the pain of getting out of bed to pee every night. Our bed is pretty high, so to get back in I have to tuck and roll. Then the pelvic pain kicks in as I adjust to get comfortable. *sigh*
I'm doing okay. I only get up once a night to pee, but have trouble finding a comfy position to sleep in. Fatigue has definitely arrived once again, where I don't want to do a darn thing as soon as I get home from work. I have swollen ankles if I don't keep moving throughout the day and I've been snacking a lot more. I have a feeling that nesting is starting, I started organizing all of LO's stuff she's gotten so far. And I think I'll continue tonight!
I send my best to all my fellow ninjas!
How are you feeling? Feel free to vent/whine here.
I am fing exhausted! I cannot get more then 4 hours of sleep a night between peeing, unable to get comfortable, and baby kicking. It's making me SOOOOO crabby.
Lack of sleep: Check
Pelvic pain: Check
Feeling huge: Check
Irritable: Check
That about sums it up lol
I really really try not to whine at people (other than DH) but I'll let it out here:
I'm tired. I'm so tired I can't see straight most days. I'm so sick of peeing every 30 mins to an hour. My back hurts. My stretch marks have taken on a life of their own and I'm starting to think I'm mutating into a pink zebra. My belly stretchies itch like crazy to the point that I want to scratch until I bleed. My poor feet look like they belong to an elephant person and they hurt! I miss loads and loads of caffeine-I was a pot of coffee type person before this. I miss wine and sleeping on my stomach and eggs over easy and good sex. Oh my Gawd I miss good sex. I haven't had it since before my BFP. I am so freaked out that I'll never have it again, that I'll never feel good again. The other day I started crying and DH asked what was wrong and I sobbed "I hate being pregnant" and poor DH frantically said "Its ok! Sebastian can be an only child. We won't have anymore" while patting me. He is such a sweet man.
Whew. Thats all I think. Sorry it was so long.
Physically, I feel pretty good. Emotionally I'm waiting for pregzilla to take over at any moment! I'm crabbier than I've ever been!
(Watch out 1st graders I'm teaching tomorrow!)
Feel pretty crappy lately. Have a cold that has stuck around for almost 2 weeks now. Can't breathe because of said cold and of course the squishing of my lungs. Have pregnancy carpal tunnel that can keep me up at night with hours of wrist pain if I forget to wear my brace, and a tingling/numbness during every other activity that I use my hands for. Can't walk for very long because I have extreme hip pain and end up limping. Can't find a nice bra to fit my large (and now sagging) boobs, and my ankles and feet are giganic.
Whew - DH must be so sick of my b!tching! I was in tears last night because of the fun combo of a bad day at work, and trying on bras after work which all looked terrible, didn't fit, etc.
Overall i feel like I can't complain, but today I'm very tired. My LO loves to wake me up between 5-7am by kicking me in the ribs and what felt like an internal organ this morning. She hasn't quieted down yet and seems to be trying to escape out the side of my belly (it really hurt a couple times). Otherwise my back hurts at the end of the day and i've noticed a couple bouts of restless leg syndrome lately, which is really annoying. So far no swelling (knock on wood) or major issues. I'm getting very excited for her to get here so I can have my body back.
How are you feeling? Feel free to vent/whine here.
For the most part I'm feeling pretty good! Yes, I'm getting tired more often, but I'm also working two jobs. I'm up at 5:30am and don't get home until 9pm. It sucks that I don't have a desk job, where I can sit most of the day because I feel like I have the energy mentally, but not physically. . I teach at my first job, so I'm on my feet most of the day and I think that's what makes me really tired. I can handle my evening job a bit better (bc I work at a desk). Then again, things can be worse....
