Alright, I officially hit third tri now. Not in the measured weeks, but in the frustration I'm getting that feels very familiar. I'm now in that part of pregnancy where I go from loving everything about my body and how amazing it is to hating all of that bad things happening to it - and there's quite a few!
Tonight I tried to bend over to put on socks. Woah, not happening anymore. I tried to bend over to give Katie a bath and the baby refused to let me - he actually burrowed himself where I bend at and wouldn't stop kicking and punching. It was SO difficult.
Baby is definitely feeling transverse - which means when he tries to stretch, I can feel at least one side of my skin tearing from his head or his butt. It hurts like hell. It feels raw. And this kid really likes to stretch. I'm pretty positive, though I can't see it, that he's either giving me new stretch marks or reopening the old ones. Thanks, kid.
I'm also pretty sure (but again, can't see well enough to tell) that I have a varicose vein in the exact place that I had it last time. It wasn't there before, so it must have just happened in the last week when baby has been changing his position. Ah, joy - it's just not pregnancy without painful varicose veins! I've even made sure to keep my feet up often and not overdo it, but that didn't work.
I also tried to wear prepregnancy underwear today. Yeah, that didn't go well! It bit into my skin and made me sore. They're WAY too small now. Nothing like not fitting into your underwear to remind you of those 25 lbs gained already.
I should be in bed, as tomorrow we have to wake up early so I can get that painful shot in my butt and a bunch of viles of blood taken from me (which should be interesting, as both arms are currently still all bruised up from when they did blood work for just the glucose test.) Yeah, definitely having a grumpy night!
