I'm really feeling like the bliss and beauty of the second trimester is quickly being overshadowed by the pain and discomfort of the third... and it's still 3 weeks away!!
Last week, my calves were clobbered in the middle of the night my these monstrous leg cramps! Moms out there will know what I'm talking about. Fist sized balls of searing hot lava implant themselves into your legs. Mine sit high up on my calves just under the knees. They hold on tight and just don't let go!! Apparently, there's just no escaping them :(
My brain is also turning into mush and I seem to have developed a glassy stare. My ankles haven't swollen up but my feet don't like any of my work appropriate shoes by about 1pm. If no one is around, I scoot about by waddling like a penguin. My appetite is insatiable and, if there was a cupcake that was lemon, curry, french fry and chocolate flavoured all in one, I would inhale it (and a dozen more) in an instant! My wedding ring still slides off but my hands cramp up something fierce. I need about 8 pillows to make me comfortable in bed and even then I wake up intermittently. Finally, I sometimes get this nasty jab in my ribcage.
What in the world is going on?
Oh...yeah...I'm pregnant. And it's FABULOUS!
