Can I complain now?! First, I went to the dr today and he laughed when he measured the baby’s head, apparently it is still huge. Second, I have waaaay too much fluid which is concerning the dr. Which means it’s back to weekly visits and a fresh round of tests to find out why my fluids are increasing instead of decreasing. Third, because I have so much extra fluid I am huge! Apparently I am measuring around 39 weeks when really I am only 32. No wonder I have had 3 people this week gasp in astonishment when I told them I still had almost 2 more months to go. Fourth, as of today I have not only hit the 25lb mark, but went past it by a couple. Sigh. I hate this weight gain part of baby making. The scale isn’t the only thing that lets me know I am much bigger this go-a-round, half of my maternity clothes that kept me all throughout my last pregnancy are suddenly not fitting. Ugh! I hate the idea of having to go and buy some clothes, even a shirt or two for only 7 weeks. And finally, my stomach is numb. The dr said it was because I am stretched so thin. When I asked if I would regain sensation in my stomach, he being ever funny man stated, ‘are you a believer? Cause there is always hope.’ Ahhhh! So can I complain now? Come on October, mama is ready to get on with the show!

Oh Holly!!! Bless your heart. Yes, you can complain. Maybe all this "fun" stuff you're going through is to get ready for an exciting baby. (Trying to be positive.) Hang in there girl! I'm praying for you, Cody & Capn Jack.
Tell your doctor to keep it to himself! I'm sure that fluid is making you feel so big and uncomfortable. Hopefully he'll get that figured out soon so you can get some relief!
Complain away. Luckily when you look back on this years from now, it's just a little speck of time. I remember time seeming to slow WAY down those last couple of months. You are nearly there!
