Man hands..and other ugly issues

jsusann

I can safely say that I officially have man hands....like the girl in Seinfeld. They look like giant marshmallows, ladies!!! And they feel arthritic and they are veiny. Could the ugliness get any worse? Oh, um I guess it could...now that I am finally not sneezing and blowing my nose 8 trillion times a day from this awful cold I have, I can now happily feel a cold sore forming on my nose. That's all I need! Time to hibernate!

You are near the end there is light at the end of the tunnel!  Gosh that went fast, did you not just get your BFP?

I have man hands, too.  And tree trunks for legs.  I don't think the swelling could get much worse.  Yesterday, I couldn't get my legs bent for the internal.  I'm really ready for this to be over and to meet my daugther.  She's also sucking every ounce intelligence out of me.  It's pretty embarassing at work.

Me too!!  UGH!  I was just thinking that this morning.  My fingers are little sausages... so attractive. 

I was meaning to check in on you!  You're still hanging in there!  Have they talked to you about when the babies might arrive?  I'm thinking the next 4 weeks are going to be very uncomfortable and I'm only having ONE!  I can't believe how fast it's going now...

Choco! How are you? I'm in sheer shock that both of us are here already. It went by SO fast, it's amazing! Are you feeling good?? I'm actually feeling a bit better than I did before Christmas. I was just doing way too much to prepare for the holiday that it nearly killed me. Resting more these days is helping alot. But I've got to tell you that I am horrified when I look down at my hands when I type. They are SCARY!!!!! All I can think of is the Seinfeld episode when they show her breaking lobster claws with her hands..ha..ha.. Not to mention they are dry from the cold weather and no lotion around seems to help...and the sniffling, sneezing..and now this cold sore? uuuugh, my poor husband. He's a saint for kissing me goodbye and goodnight everyday...ha..ha.
