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.)
The good: a job in the school system and being off work
The bad: an end of August due date. Still 5 weeks to go...
The ugly: my feet. Stood in the kitchen cooking with friends for 5+ hours yesterday. Not sure if I can get off the couch today, they are so sore and swollen... Ouch.
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- Went out with some friends last night and had some free pie! I didn't feel bad about it at all.
The bad- The nausea, it is unreal.
The ugly- my legs look horrible! I just stared at them in the bathroom at the restaurant we were in last night. I have stretch marks going all the way down to my knees on my inner thighs.
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.
Good: I got married on Monday And DH's reenlistment paperwork got approved. He reenlisted "Indef" .. which means he's in until at least 20 years. (8 more years of job security!)
Bad: Due to a few unforseen costs (The God Squad, our B&B overcharging us by about 400 dollars, and 640 dollars to the orthodontist because DH's ex is a POS), we are BROKE until payday. Which we are actually ok with, because that means we can do nothing this weekend but go for bike rides, watch movies, and lay on the couch together.. Which we are VERY excited about! (Seriously.. we need a relaxing weekend).
The good: bought the last and final items to finish packing hospital bags; LOs going home outfit and a robe! At target too, I don't know why I'm really really excited about this! Lol
The bad: oh pelvic and hip pain, worst at night, I can feel popping by my pubic bone when I turn sometimes
The ugly: skid marks! I'm gonna have to pop open one of the baby wipes and put it in my bathroom I guess
The good: I was able to find something to wear to work today The bad: I only have 3 outfits left that are work appropriate, 3 of them were in the dirty clothes. Ended up wearing super casual jeans into the office. The ugly: I will be working from home next week and pants will be a nope. Legs, stretch marks, fat ankles, and all will be very comfortably hanging out.
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 bad: The more STMs I talk to, the more I'm getting scared that we won't make it to the hospital in time this go round.
The ugly: I have a long torso and most of my shirts aren't long enough any more. I try to wear tunics to work but otherwise can't bring myself to care if I'm flashing an inch of belly skin.
The good: knowing I get to meet this little guy so soon.
The bad: bed rest. It freaking sucks and I am bad at it.
The ugly: My doctor's office is so hot which causes my ass to sweat . Then it sticks to the sanitary paper they cover the bed with which then rips when he asks me to slide to the edge of the bed and is stuck to my butt during the exams.

Oh my goodness!! This happened to me on Tuesday! I was so embarrassed! There was shredded up paper every where and sweat on the table!
The good: I slept well over 8 hours last night, not through due to waking up several times to pee, but still I'll take it.
The bad: my house is a mess, but I'm sitting here bumping while DS watches Mickey Mouse clubhouse, as he woke up from his nap on the worst mood ever.
The ugly: I'm really embarrassed to admit this... This morning, while standing in the kitchen, what I thought was a fart, was not. I thought I was perfectly safe since I had already pooped this morning. OMG I sharted myself. **hangs head mortified**. Thank goodness DH had already left for work and I didn't have to explain my look of sheer horror followed by awkward waddle/run to the closest bathroom.
Good: I went to the beach today and got some sun, went swimming... Ate ice cream. It was wonderful "> also SO has been very supportive and helpful around the house lately.
Bad: I've had a headache for 2 days straight. Ugh.
Ugly: my legs, ankles and feet are all swollen. It's definitely ugly.

Glad I am not the only one. I wanted to crawl under the table.
THE GOOD: Summer as a teacher = low stress / low blood pressure during my no stress tests; THE BAD: nesting settled down and my house isn't clean; THE UGLY: no control over the gas ripping out of my ass. I'm normally a very comfortable public pooper... Why do bathrooms have to echo!?!
The good: awesome pedi and foot rub I got today The bad: having the urge to pee every 10 mins is driving me crazy and out of toilet paper fast! The ugly: everything below my waist (wherever that is now a days) stretch marks, veins, cellulite, bruises, swelling and can't forget cuts from blind shaving.
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.
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.
The good: I nested like a crazy person today. The house is spotless, carpets are cleaned, car seat installed, car cleaned, all linens washed... I feel like a pregnant warrior.
The Bad: Now that I feel like I'm ready the waiting game will get much worse.
The good: love my little belly and watching baby move my belly into funny shapes The bad: due date is 32 days away still seems forever away! The ugly: I work 8+hrs on my feet with no time off before she arrives The ugliest: my swollen kankles and legs that are massive I can only wear stretch pants anymore! So much water retention
