Sorry everyone, but this is just going to be a whiny post. If you're looking for Charlotte or knitting news, check back tomorrow.
This pregnancy is really getting rough. The baby is now up and down instead of sideways, so instead of poking my sides, he's pushing on my pelvis and ribs. Braxton Hicks contractions have started, making it hard to sleep at night. Most of the time, they'll subside, and then the baby will get into a position where he's just sitting there pushing out on my lower abdomen, causing the bottom of my belly to tighten again. The morning sickness has returned, so now I'm waking up tired and nauseous. Besides just feeling lousy, I'm getting too big to bend over, so I have problems putting on my own shoes and socks. Normally all of this wouldn't be so bad, but shopping for pregnant tops recently has just really made me depressed. It is nearly impossible to find maternity clothes that you like and that don't make you feel as big as a house. Last time I actually enjoyed being pregnant, but this time I just feel crummy, incapable, and unattractive.
Enough whining for today; I promise a real post tomorrow.
Sorry to hear that the pregnancy is rough right now. Hope it eases up again soon.
Hey, we can all go swing, honey. If you want to whine about being pregnant, you whine about being pregnant. After all it's YOUR blog and you're writing for your edification, not for our amusement. We're all thinking about you up here and wishing you well!!
Hi Christina
I hope you start to feel better. When my mom was pregnant with twins (my younger siblings) she didn't want to wear ugly clothes either. So she wore my dads shirts instead. Maybe Mike has some oversize shirts that will fit better?
Good Luck, we miss you a lot
To steal a "Katie" phrase. "Oh, sweetie, I am so sorry."
Wishing you were here so that we could eat ourselves silly with those brownies Wendy has to make soon with all that Valrhona chocolate. :-)
Take good care of yourself and whine all you want!

Whine all you want, you've got one heck of a tough job bringing the little one in this world. I hope things get easier and try not being so down...the last pic we saw of you, you were an absoulutely beautiful pregnant woman...I'm sure that hasn't changed!
