Warning: This is a whiny post.
At almost 38 weeks, I'm so done with being pregnant. (Full term is 38-42 weeks.)
It's hard to find a comfortable position to sleep in. It's getting harder and harder to move around. I'm feeling more and more tired, probably due to the lack of restful sleep. And with my own personal space heater (ie, the baby), I'm frikkin hot all the time.
My feet are so swollen (from the weight of the baby and the heat) that it takes a while (at least 5 mins) to get socks and shoes on. And I'm not even going to bother with the toe-nail clipping until the baby comes out.
I thought I had escaped stretch marks, but some have appeared recently. My back has started to ache and has been getting worse a little every day. I guess it's true what people say: at about 36-38 weeks, it just hits you and you just want the baby to come out already. And this little boy is just growing bigger and bigger, and kicking/punching harder and harder.
I went to the mall yesterday and walked around for almost 2 hours, hoping the activity would make the baby come out. No luck so far.
Meh. Ok I'm done whining. I'll post something nicer/less whiny next time.
