33 weeks . . .

Well...this is the first week I feel like all I've done is complain.

I can handle the growing belly...

I can handle the jabs to the ribs and bladder...

I can handle the bathroom visits which are merely minutes apart, it feels...

I can handle the numb and swollen fingers which don't allow me to wear my wedding ring anymore...

What I'm having a very difficult time handling...?

These bad boys. My feet, ankles, and even calves are ginormous!!

As if that's not enough, they HURT!! I knew swelling came with pregnancy,

yet no one warned me about the constant pain that came with it.

It hurts to bend my toes...

It hurts to have my feet flat on the floor while I sit at my desk...

It hurts to wear shoes - even flip flops!!

I walk around work barefoot all day...but that doesn't really offer relief, either.

Like I said...this swelling has done nothing but make me complain.

I'm aware...

I'm aware that I'm whining like a big baby.

I'm aware it will go away in a couple weeks.

I'm aware that it is all worth it.

I just want to have the right to complain about it for the next 7 weeks...ok?!

Ok.

Thanks.
