I feel 33 going on 73...

Let me preface that my little boy is doing really well in there (knock wood). So, while I maybe complaining, I'm also thankful.

Went to doc yesterday, and she gave me a 'scrip for stockings to help improve my circulation and reduce the swolleness, and recommended wrist braces for my carpel tunnel since my fingers are numb. Granted fall is here to cover the old lady tights, and I really only have to wear the braces at night.

I feel like all these circulation issues in conjunction with my starting weight pre PG are foreshadowing of GD to come!

Vent over, but feel free to complain or share if you're experiencing the same!

sorry about the support hose!!

My back kills me pretty much every day, and well-- my right hand hurts a lot-- probably from all the clicking on the pregnancy board!

YEsterday I was out running around for a mere 3 hours. I was WIPED out... laid out for the rest of the day.

Then, there is the "senility".

And I am looking at the clock thinking, oy vey, it's 10PM--- I gotta get into bed!

You should see dh's impression of me at this point. When I get out of bed (after about a 10 minute struggle) it takes me about another 10 minutes to straighten my back and actually stand up fully.

To make you feel better, I started with a higher pre-pregnancy weight and had some swelling a little earlier on and have not developed GD (I'm now 34 weeks).

We should all be old ladies for halloween.
