I dont know what it is about this pregnancy but my body is not cooperating very well. I am 26 weeks now and cant feel this done already. oh boy this is gonne be one long couple of months. LOL I have never had very good circulation in my left leg, and each pregnancy has kinda made this situation worse. But this time around I have accumulated the WORST varicose Veins known to a pregnant women. Over the weekend the pain has become quit unbearable and debilitating. My kids have been wondering why Im always found lying on the floor with my legs up on the couch. No im not pretending to be a bat or a opossum...its just my darn legs are killing me. My doctor demanded I wear some compression "Waist High" pantie hoses. Yeah that sounds just like me doesnt it. NOT!!!. That goes completly against my nature. I dont think ive worn a pair of stockings since I was 3 years old. Yuck I do not like them what-so-ever. But doctor said its pretty serious and its necessary in my case to wear these the rest of the duration of my pregnancy to prevent clotting. Now I really dont want that at all, so after a 20 minute workout maneuvering these babies on my legs we are now officially best friends. We go and do everything together. And I feel like the life has been sucked out of me. I didnt know that was a characteristic of a best friend, but it is in our relationship. oh well, this is the price I pay for having 4 babies so close in age, and well as doc said just having 4 pregnancy's will do it. Im just not held together like I was with my first child. It will be all worth it when I hold his chubby little body and caress his beautiful soft skin. I know at that moment that no matter the price my body had to pay he was worth every ounce of effort and pain. So heres to 10 more weeks of these wonderful leg sucking monsters. Yeah I'm not a FAN, but its just what you have to do for your babes.

Oh Keri I am so sorry to hear you are having pain like that I hear it is miserable. You have it right though it will all be worth it no matter what your body has to do to get this baby here it will be worth it I tell myself that daily. Congrats to your dad I was excited when my dad told us. I think he will be great.
Fourth Children are EVIL to the body!! I don't know how people have so many children when after kid #3 to kid #4 my body fell appart. But they are so worth it! 10 more weeks. That isn't bad... You can do it. Hang in there. I hope that he tedhose work out really well. those things are great, but hey are so tight (Jess had them after his surgery). Trust me you want to wear those over having blood clots... Jess got one after his last surgery on his hip and he was in so much pain that you would have thought his leg had a dagger in it. Hang in there. :-)
