I have a growing list of grievances that may be of interest to no one but me, but by posting them, I can probably think and get over them.
~swollen feet. If I don’t keep my feet up (which my new recliner helps with) my feet swell. And it is a tad painful. The swelling goes down within minutes of having my feet up, so I know it isn’t something to be worried about. It’s just annoying.
~ false labor. I experience irregular contractions daily and every once in a while they work themselves into a regular pattern that disappears (poof!) as soon as I change positions. I know this all helps move things along, but… sigh. I’m getting over it. Baby Two will be here soon, right?
~ my camera lens. There is something wrong with the auto-focus on my most used lens. AND if I had been able to take the jump last week and bought the lens I wanted to replace it, it would have been $40 cheaper. This actually ticks me off more than the false labor.
~ shrinking wardrobe options. Everyday that goes by I lose another piece of clothing to the “too small” pile. This isn’t a huge deal because I stay at home most days, but it is a growing irritation. If I have to go to the hospital, I don’t want it to be on a day I haven’t showered. But I kind of lose the desire to shower when my wardrobe options are practically nil.
Maybe I should just go back to bed. Things will look better tomorrow, right?

I feel your pain! When I was pregnant with E, my feet swelled so much I couldn’t even wear my Chacos!!! I wore flip flops only the last 2 months–even to church in October. It wasn’t pretty. And, with the boys, I had contractions from 15 weeks on…. they’d subside a bit if I lay down, but generally were my little friends for months. It will be over soon!!!

I remember those times too. I was so uncomfortable the last few weeks; much as you’re probably sick of hearing it you’re in the home stretch now. Soon you’ll have the little one to snuggle with and remember how it’s all worth while.
I also remember my step-father giving me a huge lecture about how I needed to put on make up and make sure I looked all nice before I went to the hospital so that everyone could be proud of me. Seriously I’m sure the nursing staff have seen it all and will understand if you’re in sweat pants and a t-shirt. I just made sure I had comfy PJs and things to wear home and wear after wards. Going in the main focus is “Baby OUT!” I’d figure no one is really paying attention to what any one is wearing when you go in.
