Thankful every day!

[star fish]

Hi Girls

I havent been around much as no internet access from my job but i do check in often to make sure you are all alright. I just wanted to say that it's not always easy being pregnant is it, yet I'm still so grateful every day that I am! Maybe it's the years of trying and the miscarriage and everything, but I feel so blessed and lucky and truely thankful! (Though not sure who to as am not remotely religious!)

I have a list as long as my arm of complaints, here's just a few:

• Heartburn
• pins and needles in my hands
• swollen ankles
• My lower back is killing me
• Varicous Veins, yuk
• Standing up and sitting down is getting hard
• swollen ankles, and my shoes all seem tighter
• Can't wear high heels with out back giving out
• Stretch marks already, not on tummy but on back!
• red cheeks and rash like spots coming and going on my face
• Gone off some of my favourite foods, seem to have replaced them with very fattening chocolate
• Sleeping with a pillow between my legs, being unable to turn easily in the night
• Muscle twitches and leg jerks when lying down
• Getting up to pee 4 times a night
• Baby kicking me in the bladder, it hurts!
• Get really nervous about slipping on the stairs
• Still really tired
• The nightmares
• The house just isnt ready
• My eyesight has deteriorated
• Headaches
• Car sick/ bus sick/ sea sick (when swimming!)
• Stressed about money
• Being sober on a hen night
• Husband has gone off me I think, no shagging sob sob
• Short tempered with shop assistants/my husband/everyone!
• Hate hate hate going to work
• All parents are driving us crazy with unwanted advice

I could go on and on, I've barely scratched the surface, and yet I walk around grinning most of the time!! Is this what they mean by glowing? Just being so happy everyday that you are still pregnant?

I fully sympathise with the symptoms.

In my last pregnancy I had a list of 30 reasons not to do it again. I put it off for 5 years, but now doing it again!

Yesterday I added another thing to my list.

THRUSH. Going to the doctors about it, and hoping they can give me something that is safe for pregnancy that actually works!

Enjoy the chocolate. I seem to have gone off it.

I think I can tick most of the stuff off that list!
But ur right... I still have a smile on my face.
9 months of aches and pains for a lifetime of happiness
