I don't know why I just feel blah today. I guess this pregnancy is getting to me.Not only do I feel like I swallowed a watermelon I look like it too. I'm not due until aug and I'm bigger than most people I know who are due in june or july. the only person i know who is preggo and bigger than me is due the week after me but she's having twins. I'm sore in the pelvic area, mom says it's just my pelvis spreading, I don't know it feels like I hit the edge of something with it. I can't see my feet unless I've got them propped up, then I'm amazed that my ankles haven't exploded yet. I've ruined one pair of shoes already cause my feet swelled up. I can't wear my tennis shoes because i can't reach down to put them on let alone tie them.

My niece is driving me nuts. Bless her heart she's 3 going on 10 and wants to constantly be doing something. I've tried to play with her but I wear out so easily. She did paint my toenails earlier about 3 different colors, or at least I think that's what she was doing. I haven't had a chance to look yet. She's also decided today that she wants to be a picky eater. She told me she wanted grilled cheese for dinner so I made her a couple, now she won't them. took 2 bites and said she was full after screaming for half an hour that she was starving.

I lost 3 of my kittens last week. 2 of them were foster cats only about 4 weeks old. I had been bottle feeding one of them and on mon he started seizing again so I just let him go no need in making hm suffer. ( he was alittle retarded) then tues. night one of the the other ones started seizing. all I could do is make him comfortable and he died around 9 am wed. Left thrus to take my my only male cat to baltimore to have surgery. he did well but when we got home on frid night I found my newest kitten kiki ( who I posted about a couple of weeks ago) dead in the litter box. She had a little cold when we left so I'm not sure what killed her. i was so heart broken. I was up till the wee hours of the morning sick. I went to work sat and one of the cats in the adoption center eye swelled up for no reason, then 2 kittens we had did the same thing. I pulled the older one ( siamese mix, bless her heart she's ugly) out and brought her home while one of the other volunteers took the kittens. tipsy is doing fine just hates other cats and is scared to death not to meantion she will only eat if you sit with her. I get the call that one of the kittens died on mon. I swear I give up. when these 3 kittens I have left leave I'm not fostering for a long while.

whew i feel so much better after getting that all out.

I am saying a prayer for you. I hope you get to feeling better soon!

Awwww {{{{Hugs******** It will all be over with pretty soon and as soon as you see that baby, you will forget all about your aches and pains that you are going through now. I got real big during my last two pregnancies and also couldn't wear my good shoes so I got some slip on sandles from Wal-Mart for like $5 and I loved those things! LOL My hubby would laugh at me because I couldn't reach the pop holder in the car or anything. lol Try to prop your feet up as much as possible and lay on your left side because it helps with circulation.

Sorry about your kittens.

Sending warm hugs & prayers your direction.

Saw in the other thread that your little hamster just died too.
So sad.

It'll all be worth it come August and your newborn to cuddle.

I hope you feel better! When I was pregnant with my last I was miserable.I swelled no matter what I did and there was nothing wrong with my blood pressure.But on the lighter side,its all pain that's the easiest to forget(till you have it again of course! LOL ) but things will look up and you'll feel better than you ever did! Good Luck and Congrats on the new arrival!

~Bless Your Heart~ I'm sitting here reading your post and feeling the missery all over again. I have 6 kids, 3 of which I have given birth to and every pregnacy was different. With my last child I was the biggest and he was my smallest (just under 6 lbs). It will all seem worth it when you have the yougun in your arms. (most of it anyway...lol) Hang in there. {{{hugs******

Hoping today is better for you....

Some days are like this. Time flies and soon you will have a baby of your own.

Has your doc checked for preclampsia? Keep it in mind. My sister had a baby last June and she swelled up (legs/feet). They said nothing was wrong, but keep it in mind.

thanks everyone. i know it's worth it and it'll be over soon. i guess I'm just stressed out. the doc's are checking me for everything, everytime I go in which is every 2 weeks. I have asthma and the farther along i go the harder it gets to breath. I just feel like a blimp and with everything else going on I just needed to whine for alittle bit. My fiance is a wonderful guy and very supportive. i mean he rubs my feet and waits on me when he's here, but he doesn't understand why I feel like I do. he tells me all the time he loves me and that I'm beautiful, but I just don't feel that way. On top of everything else while I was easing my hamsters death last night my baby robin that I rescued out of the road on mon died. I've lost 5 animals in a week and I guess I've just had it. I have to take the drainage tube out of my cats ear today. i tried last night but it started bleeding and grossed me out. I have to take it out today before it attachs to his ear permently. wish me luck that he doesn't eat me alive when I do it cause I know it's going to hurt him. thanks again for listening to me whine I have a feeling I'll be doing it alot in the future.
