At Least I'm Never Bored!

Yesterday I got a shiny new PICC line.  I'd been having problems getting #3 to run fluids, and eventually even the Zofran wouldn't go through it very well.   The sutures holding it in place had come out, and the tip had migrated, so it was in the wrong place.  All good reasons to get it checked out.  But the radiologist at the hospital yesterday

I do hate all the whinging I do about this damn pregnancy. And there ARE things I love about it. Like, you know, the fact that I'm pregnant at all! And the fact that it's only one! But mostly, it's just clear that my body does not function well while pregnant and I am just never going to be one of those women who adores every second of pregnancy.

You're quite right about the home stretch comments. But I've been getting "home stretch" comments since JANUARY! (If I'd delivered in January, my baby would have died, for what it's worth). People wonder why I don't like to tell my due date or how many weeks' pregnant I am. It's because even the few people who do know still do the same crap I got with the triplets which I TOLD them stressed me out too much: I get a call (or an email) EVERY WEEK saying "You're X weeks now!" or "Well, now that you're past 24 weeks, you can breathe easy because you're in the home stretch!" or "You're so close! What a relief it must be!" Exactly the countdown I wanted to avoid.

And yes, I'm a bitter old hag. I know everyone means well and I know I'm especially touchy about all this. I'm just waiting for this to be but a distant memory. :)

Old, no; hag, no. But you've certainly earned the right to feel bitter!
