The End-of-Pregnancy Blues
I have less than 6 weeks left of my pregnancy, and I've definitely hit a slump. Here are the things that just arent' working for me anymore:
1. My belly: It's massive. (I'll post pictures soon). I can't bend over at the waist. I can't stoop down or squat or find any other way to comfortably pick something up. I have a stitch in my left side that won't go away and I'm having cramps and false contractions. Fun.
2. My wardrobe: I have hardly worn any of my maternity things during this pregnancy, managing to skate by with this season's babydoll and empire tunics and dresses. And this strategy worked really well, for a while. Now, my non-maternity clothes are starting to look odd, comical, or just plain wrong.
3. My skin: It's dull, it's dreary, and it really needs a good dose of non-pregnancy-safe products and treatments.
But the hardest part is the exhaustion. I am wiped out, all the time, and physically really uncomfortable, which is making it really hard to keep up with my fiesty little Lola. So even though I really love being pregnant, overall, and even though these are the last few weeks of what is probably my last pregnancy, I am looking forward to the end.
