Sugar and spice and everything....not...so...nice...

You know pregnancy should come with a disclaimer. I'm just saying- there should be a book titled "This isn't that much fun" or "The worst way to spend nine months of your life" or "See a penny- don't even TRY to pick it up" Seriously. I have been "comfortable" for maybe 2 months of this whole thing. The month I didn't know and the the fourth month. Through the whole first trimester I didn't get sick once- but I spent all day thinking I would be which is kind of worse. Then for that one month I was all "Yea! The second trimester! Now I get to be happy, glowing, energetic pregnant lady!" Lies. I am tired. A lot. I've got this weird thing on my leg that feels like there is cold blood rushing through it which my doctor informed me was from nerve pressure and that would get worse before it got better. No kidding. Stretched up into my leg first so I spent all day thinking I was on the verge of a charlie horse or had just had one. Then up into my back which makes me wobble more than I weeble. I won't even get into the swelling involved in this. And to know what that it surely will get worse before it gets better. And how about that whole getting off the floor thing? I mean there's a neat way to get a laugh- trick me into sitting down in the middle of a clearing with nothing around to use as a brace to get up, then walk away and watch the show from a distance. You'll burst at the seams from laughing so hard. Except its not funny. Don't get me wrong I'm super excited to have the baby and everything I just think they shouldn't sugar coat the whole process. *light goes off in head* Obviously though, if they told people before hand then the human race would die out because who would sign up for this gig? Oi ve.
