ick to pregnancy

i think it's high time i finally bitch about being pregnant. since this blog is more for myself than others to read, i want to remember not only the good things about being knocked up, i want to remember the bad things - so that when lola gets pregnant and asks me something, i'll be able to remember that "yea that happened to me" or "no that didn't". so.... without further ado:
why pregnancy sucks ass
while i don't hate the actual pregnancy, i hate everything bad that
i've gotten that goes along with it. i didn't get morning sickness, but
in return for that little miracle i got MASSIVE swelling in my lower
extremities. i can't bend my knees without pain, i have to actually
think about whether it's worth getting up or not. getting in the bed is
ridiculous b/c my knees feel bruised when they're touched too hard and
to get in my bed i have to crawl over to my spot so i'm on my knees for
about 5 seconds which is 5 seconds too long, i can't touch my feet, i
can't put on undies or pants without sitting down b/c i can't lift my
left leg higher than about 6 inches off the ground without searing back
pains, i can't wear shoes that aren't house shoes 2 sizes larger than i
would normally wear (from the swelling) - the vaginal discharge is more
than i ever expected and is SUPER gross - b/c of it, i've become a baby
powder-aholic and nick almost chokes on baby powder when i come
to bed b/c i sit down on the bed and there's so much powder in my
crotch that it puffs up like a cloud from my nether regions. in addition to the discharge, the baby puts pressure on my bladder and i leak pee all day long as well. i'm sick of having to use pantiliners, i was hoping to not have to buy any of those things while i was pregnant - this was a big shock to me, i didn't think i'd be the unlucky one to pee myself all day. i've
suffered constant congestion since i got pregnant, which has caused
super loud snoring (i wake myself up i'm so loud) and now nick has to wear earplugs. the heartburn is atrocious, i wake up literally
choking on a pool of stomach acid - and a new thing (as of last night)
i can't eat too much b/c i'll wake up choking on VOMIT multiple times
thru the night. so i'm going to have to switch to multiple tiny meals
throughout the day and see if that helps.if it doesn't then i've got
about 6 more weeks of this crap to deal with, NOT TO MENTION the fact
that i'm 34 weeks along and have gained 50 lbs, even though i really
haven't been eating that much more! my throat is raw and sore and no one can tell me if it's from the heartburn pooling at the back of my throat or if i'm actually sick. i think i'm actually sick, but that still doesn't help me b/c since i'm pregnant there's pretty much nothing i can do about it. i don't want to be sick when i give birth, but if this shit doesn't pass soon, i very well might!
i love my baby, i love her moving, i love carrying her and talking to her and nick rubbing my belly and talking to her and it's a wonderful thing, but there are shitty things about pregnancy too. i can only hope that when lola gets pregnant, that she gets an easy pregnancy.
